Visiting The Kennedy Space Center With Kids
I last visited the Kennedy Space Center when CAM was almost 18 months old. We had a great visit. He napped or nursed on the KSC Tour buses, we oohed and aahed at how cute he was tottering between the rockets in the Rocket Garden. Of course I had it on my must-see list of Read the Rest…
Family Friendly Holiday Events in Seattle
Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. I love the carols, the lights and decorating a good (real) tree. As my children are getting older, I don’t have as much opportunity to visit holiday-themed events in Seattle but that didn’t stop me finding out what’s going on. (Thanks to my friend Meg Paynor for Read the Rest…
Winter Family Fun In Seattle
This is Seattle in mid-winter. It can be a pretty grey place. At this time of year when it’s dark early in the evenings and daylight hours get shorter every day (shorter by 3 minutes per day from now until December 21st actually), it’s not so easy to drum up enthusiasm (or energy) to get Read the Rest…

Four Tips For Finding Vacation Rental Accommodation
I’m a huge fan of renting vacation properties directly from owners as an economical, affordable and sanity-preserving choice for family vacations. Sanity-preserving because I am a princess with regards to sleep in that I need my eight hours every night, no exceptions and that can be very difficult in a shared hotel room with two Read the Rest…
Summer Family Fun In Seattle
This summer we’ll be in Seattle and I’m looking forward to it. Seattle has a pretty well-deserved bad weather reputation for our damp and dreary Winter (and sometimes Spring and Fall too), but in the summer we have lazy, hazy days with the sun glistening off the waters of the lakes and the Puget Sound.

Photo Friday: Waimea Canyon Kauai
Worldwide we’re being bombarded with gloomy economic news and forecasts full of doom.
