Away We Go
The very best in family travel.
I’m on the hunt for a cool diaper bag — something practical, affordable and stylish that’ll allow me to comfortably tote dirty dipes and leaky baby bottles without causing a mess or making me feel like I’ve given up on life.
I haven’t picked one yet because I’m obsessive and neurotic and I’d prefer to scour the corners of the earth before making any kind of solid decision. But y...
This weekend I made my annual pilgrimage to the Natural Products Expo in Anaheim — a ginormous showcase of literally thousands of organic/eco/healthy goodies ranging from food to cosmetics to housewares and beyond. It’s like trick or treating for health conscious adults — by the end of the day I waddled out with two giant bagfuls of samples, and had eaten enough superfood-laden sna...
Eat & Sleep
You’ve got two
options: resort or rental. We’ve done both over the years, but I am starting to
enjoy resorts a little more now that we’ve got a toddler in tow. Having
everything right there, including a chair lift less than a block away, makes things
so much easier. This year we’ve stayed at both the Resort at Squaw Creek and
Northstar-at-Tahoe. Both are ideal for families...
One of our favorite food bloggers is getting out of town! Follow Jane (yup, a real one) and her family this week as they take to the coast on a west coast road trip. First stop: Santa BarbaraWe're already jealous......
I don't usually love the travel coverage in the NY Times, but this story,
Traveling
in Southeast Asia With a Rock-Star Baby, is great. It's not going
to tell you where to go and what to do, but it should give you the
confidence (and motivation) to take your baby to Southeast Asia. It
makes me (almost) want to have a baby just so I can go and see for
myself. ...
Every summer Lisa Borgnes Giramonti from A
Bloomsbury Life takes a big trip with some friends and their
families. This summer, they opted for this nearly 25,000-square-foot
Scottish manse. It was their fourth visit. Almost 15 years ago, Lisa and
her husband, who were living in London at the time, were invited by
friends and shared the house with a bunch of DJ’s, club kids and a
fabulous dr...
Over the years I've learned to strike the balance of having my friends
in town, getting quality time and keeping my sanity, while getting my
own work done.Before they arrive, I like to send them my
favorite links and resources - and although they're my friends, I
realize they don't all read my blog as closely as they should ;)I'm
a nice friend, but only so nice, so I make sure to send them my...
Filling a style gap in the Australian holiday market, the house books
out months in advance, and the couple can hardly squeeze in a weekend of
their own. Their answer? Start a vacation home company called Comma
(as in: a pause or break; time for relaxing and doing something
else) and build another one–this time a Moroccan-Greek-themed,
brick-rendered tent in Byron Bay. Check out t...
I just got back from Mexico, where my family and I spent the past week hanging out in the beautiful, laid-back, bougainvillea-strewn surf town of Sayulita. Keep reading

Okay, so we're typically not a fan of parking the kids in front of the boob tube — but desperate times call for desperate measures. And what could be more desperate than 12+ plus hours of stressful travel? If yo...
