    A Weekend In Hendersonville NC

    06/24 /3 Comments

    In December we decided to do a weekend trip sans toddler to Hendersonville, NC. Hendersonville is a city just outside of Asheville. Hendersonville is a quaint little town (okay second largest in Western Carolina) and has officially made it to the list of my Top 10 towns I love! We stayed at The Charleston Inn, an adorable B&B, within walking distance of town. We were visiting The Biltmore for the candlelight Christmas tour, but wanted to be further away from Asheville. Don’t get me wrong I love Asheville with all my soul, but the change of scenery was needed. After our 3 hour drive to get to Hendersonville we stopped…

    Toddler’s First Camping Trip! How to Prepare to Camp With Kids

    08/29 /3 Comments

    Camping with a toddler sounds daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! You can learn from my experience and make it a successful trip! As many of you know already we took Coop camping for the first time a few weeks ago. I would like to say it was 100% successful but I would be fibbing to you! While it was a great learning experience, I will definitely do a few things different for our next adventure. I was anxiety driven as this was the first time camping with a toddler. I wanted everything to be perfect and being the OCD individual I am thought I had it all figured…

    Best Things To Do & See In Colorado!

    08/23 /No Comments

    Colorado, one of the greatest vacation destinations in the world! We had the pleasure of living there for four years and we loved every minute of it! We moved back to the East Coast last year so our little one could grow up with family but will definitely take him back to his birthplace and let him enjoy some of the great things we did while there. So there are the typical things that are a must do, but there is so much that is overlooked if you aren’t a local. This list combines the local spots as well as the touristy but in my mind are amazing and totally…

    Summer Series: Must Do In My State, Georgia!

    08/16 /2 Comments

    Hey y’all, Tanya with The Mama Life! Welcome to Georgia! Georgia is our home now and I absolutely love it here. We moved here from North Carolina, which is home, a few years back. We then moved to Colorado for four years and after having our little one decided Georgia was where we wanted to raise him. There is so much to do regardless of the weather and time of year. We are centrally located to the mountains and the beach and conveniently have the worlds largest airport too! It is a perfect vacation destination as there is something for everyone. So let’s get to the fun stuff!   Georgia,…

    Summer Series: Must Do’s In My State, California Pt 2!

    07/26 /No Comments

    Sacramento, the capital of California, is not a common vacation spot. When people think of California, they imagine Los Angeles, San Francisco or Napa Valley. Growing up in the Sacramento suburbs I never thought of my hometown as a travel destination. Why would someone want to visit this area? However, as the saying goes, distance makes the heart grow founder. Now that I’ve moved out of the area I can see why Sacramento is a great place for a vacation. Here’s my top reasons to visit Sac Town. By Kristen Kehl of Hello Minder Food. Sacramento is known as America’s Farm to Fork Capitol. Hundreds of acres of farm land…

    Thank you to Becca from Mom Cave for giving her Must Do’s for Michigan. I have been to Battle Creek in the winter and let me tell y’all that is the coldest I have ever been in my life! Michigan is gorgeous however and hope that you find inspiration from a native. I am from Michigan and honestly, the things that I love about Michigan are not necessarily what others will recommend but here you go. I think that our greatest treasure is the Upper Peninsula. It is beautiful and unpopulated. But be warned, cell service is spotty at best. Visit the ghost town at Fayette State Park in the…
