I’m so excited to announce that I am on an episode of This Indulgent Life, the Podcast!  I spent an hour talking to Mary all about our annual Big Trip and could have kept talking all day long.  I just love to talk about our trips. 😊

All ready for my very first podcast interview! Thanks to Mary at This Indulgent Life for letting me talk about our Big Trips!

For 13 years I have driven my minivan full of children across the United States in our annual Big Trip summer road trip. Highways and back roads alike, looping our way around America, seeing everything we can each year. Listen to my interview with This Indulgent Life to hear my secrets, successes, and failures of family road trip travels that have been gathered on the road.
Take our lessons learned to make your road trip even better!

In the Mojave Desert, in a small town called Boron, you will find the Twenty Mule Team Museum.  It’s not much to look at by big city standards but when you look a little closer you will see the love and dedication of a community that has preserved a bit of history and the way…

Carrots Create Super Vision?

BySheila Racinez

Carrots are full of Vitamin A and beta carotene which are good for your eye health.  This is a fact.  The superpowers of carrots though have become exaggerated over time.  They help maintain healthy eyes but cannot resolve vision problems.  If you are near-sighted, no amount of carrots will change that.  Why then do we…

This is the story that caught my attention… Every 20 minutes, from dawn to dark, the babies need food. That means catching hundreds of fruit flies a day, freezing them, crushing them with mortar and pestle, and mixing the mush with special nectar supplemented with vitamins, enzymes, and oils in precise combination. The mixture spoils…

Happy Grilled Cheese Day!

April 12th is Grilled Cheese Day.  Mmm…. grilled cheese! We scored a White House tour over Spring Break (click here for more details about our tour).   Our tour started at 11 so by the time we finished, everyone was hungry.  The kids checked their phones and found GCDC Grilled Cheese Bar a few blocks away…

Everything TABASCO at the Tabasco Factory

We don’t make many stops in Louisiana on our summer road trips because it’s just too hot. But on Big Trip 15 we visited the Tabasco® Factory and Museum and it is one of our favorites from all the years.

    1. It was so great! I had so much fun talking to you and now I have a new friend. 🙂 Did you notice the picture of the potato chips up above? haha

  2. I loved your interview! You are such a good storyteller and shared some great tips. Its neat to listen to podcasts because I feel like I just had a conversation with you and am excited to keep hearing more!

  3. I just discovered your blog and can’t wait to listen to the podcast. My husband and I are empty-nesters but like to travel with our nephews and niece (ages 16, 14, and 7). We like to give them experiences rather than just more stuff.

  4. I loved reminiscing with the old pictures and seeing the kids soooo little and adorable 🙂 Glad I could occasionally be a part of your adventure

    1. Thanks for listening. 🙂 We always love to visit you when our route works out that way! Thanks for letting us borrow your couches and guest bed.
