I live in one of the driest climates in the United States! I'm in Utah and we literally rank #2 driest climate.  Yes, we even beat Arizona.

You’ve shelled out a fair amount of cash and precious vacation time to be there with your beloved offspring...perhaps you could PEEL YOURSELF AWAY FROM YOUR PHONE for a few minutes?

Without a doubt, Grand Cayman’s Stingray City, Turtle Farm and Seven Mile Beach are exciting family attractions sure to thrill kids. And first-time visitors to the Cayman Islands should definitely check out these popular tourist attractions.

We'll wave our hands in the air for that!

My oldest child is heading to college this fall. That translates in mom talk to, “Friends beware. Spontaneous ugly cries may occur.” It also means I’ve gotten a little bit (okay… a lot bit) sentimental.

guess what—there is one thing I do every day already that could be helping prevent those grade school problems well in advance.

Do you know about 4/20? If you have a tween or teen, chances are they know all about this celebration of marijuana that occurs every year on April 20. And it's not just from whispers in the hallway or the pothead group at school.

You know how it’s your very favorite when someone tells you your kid looks exactly like their dad?

The Caribbean is exotic but paying for a family vacation doesn’t have to be exorbitant.

I think of that piece of advice all the time. Really. ALL THE TIME.

With Spring Break fast approaching, families are combing the web for ideas on how to spend their time off from the flurry of daily life.

There are plenty of loved ones that could use these same simple acts in their life -- and it won't kill you to do them. Trust me. If I can do it, so can you.

If you are a frequent user of Instagram and you aren’t regularly unfollowing accounts, you need to.

For many reasons, tourism is on the rise in Latin America, making these exotic countries worth considering for a family spring break vacation.

Any more or any less, and you may be singing a different tune.

The first time my kids got lice (yes, it’s happened more than once) I freaked out. Freaked out like a crazy woman who thought the world was going to end, and that the only answer was to buzz her kids’ hair off.

It’s not just our opinion that Keystone is a top family travel destination - it was ranked in a 2017 list in USA Today and Parents Magazine recently included in a list of top family ski resorts.

It is truly the nicest vacuum I’ve ever owned and I’m going to tell you why.

Movies are our JAM. We love nothing more than a big tub of popcorn and an even bigger screen to see the latest family friendly movie to hit the theaters! We want to you see EARLY MAN on us!
