    09/06 /No Comments

    Summer. It’s a time of sun, sea, sand, and…hearing loss?

    Do You Know What The Family Is Going To Be Doing Next Summer?

    07/28 /No Comments

    Unfortunately, summer is nearly over and it’s time to start thinking about fall and winter. However, it doesn’t mean that you can’t start planning your next summer vacation just yet. As a parent, you have a lot more on your plate when you’re planning a vacation for your family, so planning this far in advance makes sense. Not only that, but booking something now will allow you to save enough money for your vacation while also giving you and your family something to look forward to. If you’re going with the whole family, you might want to start looking at vacation rentals rather than at a hotel, too. Having everyone…

    Hilton Head Island! Our Go To Beach!

    08/12 /8 Comments

    Hilton Head Island is quickly becoming our go to beach. The drive is under five hours from the Atlanta area and our four year old does well. Of course we still get “Are we there yet?” but that is any trip over thirty minutes. The beaches are amazing, the food spectacular and the island offers several shopping and other activities to keep you busy. This is our second time going to HHI and we stayed in the Coligny Area.   “The Mama Life is reader-supported.

    The Summer My Gen Alpha Got To Experience Summer As A Gen X’er!

    I was truly nervous this year as the pandemic virtually shut down any summer vacation plans for our family. My little one is three and we had “big plans” that included a trip overseas. That all came to a screeching halt in March however due to COVID and lock-downs. I literally panicked as what in the world is going to keep my little one busy all summer with no friends, no travel, nothing! I had to take a deep breath and think back to my childhood. There were no big trips and elaborate vacations. My summers were full of riding our bikes until the street lights came on. Playing in…

    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…
