It’s that time of year when football fans from Pee-Wee leagues to the NFL raise their Buffalo wings and cheer! The fall is a time for family football activities such as tailgate parties and watching the game! As an adolescent, I watched football games with my parents and little brother in the early 1970’s. We’d […]
I taught my grandson to ski when he was four (he looks so happy about it). Now that he’s nine and I’m glued in front of the screen watching the winding down scenes of the Sochi Winter Olympic Games, this thought has crossed my mind: “Does the little shredder have what it takes to be […]
It’s the first week of February and I feel something coming on. Diagnosis: Cabin Fever. I ski in the snow. I play in the snow. I even like just walking in the snow. But today I am feeling a little hemmed in… and restless. I always know when I’ve reached my winter limit because I […]
I’ve seen them. And believe you me… I’ve heard them. There are monsters on the plane. Traveling in tight little slices of seats, surrounded by strangers, with a bag of peanuts in hand is no picnic. Adding children, a.k.a. monsters, to the mix is even more harrowing. That’s why my friend big-time family traveler, adventure […]
Today is my first ski day of the New Year. Hurray for me, and my little friend I call Groupon! Using Groupon coupons are a great way to ski cheaply. Skiing has turned into such an expensive sport, but with a some tenacity, know-how, and a little online searching, you’ll be schussing across the groomers […]
Ay-yi-yi! This ferocious coldness and the dry indoor heat are doing their darndest to turn my face into fruit leather. But I will prevail. Mostly because I have a few industry insider tips up my sleeve.. and I’m stubborn. You too, can upgrade your winter skincare by following my favorite tips: 1) Exfoliate Every Day […]
I want to do this. I can do this. One hundred adventures in 2014! By my pathetic math estimation that’s a different adventure every three days or so. Genius! This idea is not my own. I read about this amazing Aussie couple who were worried that their two daughters spent too much time inside. So […]
There are those days when an outside adventure is just not possible. Like today. Six degrees outside everyone. S-i-x degrees! We have experienced some of our greatest family adventures… reading together from a book. So, if great books are on your must-give-list this year then you’ll appreciate this line up of the 15 Top Adventure […]
[youtube_sc url=”http://youtu.be/bWqrbYwn7K4″] I’m a Wild Thing I rode horses, built clubhouses, biked for miles, and played baseball in a field with boards and rocks. Yes, you read that right; boards and rocks. As I recall there was only one trip to the doctor’s office. We wouldn’t think of coming home until it was dark. […]
As soon as those first snowflakes start falling, I naturally think of Hanalei Bay located on my island of Kauai. That’s because when it gets cold and my body stays active – think: skiing, snowshoeing, and shoveling large amounts of white fluff, I need fuel that will give me super powers. Plus whenever it gets […]
Discover the Forest Family-Style I do enjoy a good hike in the Fall, but untangling myself from the Web and life in general makes this seem unlikely so much of the time. And it’s my own blasted fault. How do we make outdoor adventure a priority in our children’s lives? The short answer is that […]
Got the travel bug? Me too. I’ve had it since I was four. Even though I’ve seen my share of travel including four European countries, the Mexican Riviera, and Brazil, I am not looking to treat my affliction anytime soon and I’m guessing I’m not alone. Now I’ve turned my eyes to the “knap-sack on […]
Hilarye Fuller is a professional vacationer (I want her job) and successful online journalist. Her blog, Dotting the Map, has been featured in USA Today and other travel publications. We are so pleased that she agreed to this interview about traveling with children. What’s the biggest surprise about traveling with children? The surprise is how […]
Just below the surface of the water he began pointing to his stomach. “What?” We were in the pool hanging on to the edge and with a very solemn face, he pointed to his stomach again and said, “I’m fat.” I was stunned by his self-awareness and sense of shame. My eight-year-old grandson had packed […]
Make that year number two. I recently gathered my beautiful daughters, some with babies in tow, to cook and bottle salsa. This family tradition is a new, not-to-be-missed event. Yes, it’s that good. And, yes, I craftily devised a way to get some help while making memories because… that’s what I do. There really is […]
