I just finished a marathon task. I FINALLY booked all the details for a few days get away with our little boys. It will not be fancy, it will not be extravagant, but it will be fun. We have planned...
We’re always looking for new things to do as a family, especially in the summer when the kids are all home. We need time out of our house without breaking the bank. We are truly lucky in the Miami...
If you've been following DMC for a while now, you know that we join a bunch of other Sister Sites across the region for a special Mom Collective event each year down in Pigeon Forge, TN at Dollywood! This...
With two kids in expensive and time-consuming year-round activities, which conveniently have opposite competition seasons, there is little money nor time for vacations in our household. The one advantage of my kids’ activities is that they generally involve travel....

When you’re in a new city, do you check out their library? Spending a weekend in Columbus, I had the task of finding free/cheap things to do with the kids. I knew straight where to look; their libraries!  Using online maps, I...
Traveling with kids is hard. But, so incredibly worth it. I am currently living in South Korea with my husband and our three daughters, aged 3 and under. The journey to get here from Dayton, Ohio was a whopping...
In January, I was able to attend an event with other Mom Collectives from across the region at the DreamMore Resort in Pigeon Forge, TN. The resort is everything you could ever want for a family getaway (or a...
Our family travel this past summer consisted of a road trip with my mom, grandmother, and our 3 year-old. The trip had a few bumps and snags, but overall it was a fun, adventure-filled time spent with each other. The...
Our plans fell through. We had booked and paid for a cute little cabin in the mountains of NC for our first time away from our kiddos (kiddos are 7 and 4, and I know this trip was far overdue). Bargaining...
