Going to the Sun Road
Did you know there’s a highway in Glacier National Park that’s only available to the world for a few months out of the whole year? This 51 mile stretch of blacktop usually opens around June or July, and closes again in October due to the disastrous conditions that winter brings with it. And by a…

Backpacking with Car Seats
I’ll admit it. I’m that mom that’s a car seat freak. I’m up to date on all the latest best-practice updates and follow Facebook groups that advocate for keeping kids rear-facing for as long as possible. I’m super anal about car seat safety (maybe to a fault) and have always done everything I can to…

They’re only little for so long
Do you ever have that moment when you’re settling back into life following a trip abroad and then think to yourself, “Nope, I don’t want want to do this anymore” and spontaneously book another trip abroad that leaves 72 hours later? Yeah, me neither…. Just kidding. Of course I think that way. Especially when I…

The Valley: Gateway to Tayrona
We were meant to be up at 5am. It was now 8am. It wasn’t looking like a great start to the day. Our plans had long since fallen through on account of a late night and a migraine keeping me up most of the night. On the positive side, at least my pain had subsided.…

Rooftop Dance Parties in Santa Marta
Our flight left Bogota late Saturday morning, so we got to enjoy a simple breakfast in our hostel of fresh mango, avocado, and leftover bread. The fruit at the market yesterday was so good that we couldn’t pass it up. Unfortunately, our eyes were bigger than our stomaches and we accidentally bought too much… which…

Hot Chocolate and Cheese in Bogota
Pack. Unpack. Repack. Pack. Unpack. Repack. I was only taking one 40L carry-on bag this trip so I had to be diligent and carefully choose each item that went into that bag. Over my years of travelling I’ve developed a pretty solid list of things I always like to have on hand – for example:…

The Countdown to 43
Lately I’ve been feeling a tad burned out. I can feel the continual stress building up of being in a management role all day at work, then being in the mom management role as soon as I leave the hospital. It’s a lot to manage staff all day, despite them being a fantastic group of…

Vacation Parenting 2.0
So, I’m a bit late with my travel updates, but you know what… life. Life is hard sometimes. Parenting is hard sometimes…. ok, no. Parenting is always hard. Sometimes you feel like you’ve finally just gotten to sleep for the night and when you wake up it’s 6 months later and you’re not really sure…

A Dream Come True
How cool would it be to become a published author and have your written work displayed in a real, live, brick and mortar store? Well, I can now answer that question. It’s pretty freakin’ amazing!! Never in a million years did I ever think that would happen. Gosh… how many times have I wandered through…

Vancouver Waterfront
When opportunity presents itself, you take it. It doesn’t matter if it’s an offer for coffee, a day off work, or an all expense paid weekend at a 5 star waterfront hotel. When you’re given the chance to do something, do it! A couple months ago I received an out of the blue e-mail from…
