Pin it to spread the word all about our crazy 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.

Meet Vacation Mouse

Once upon a time, long long ago, I decided that it would be fun for our family to have a travel mascot join our trips.  I’m not sure where I got the idea originally but I’m sure I saw it somewhere and thought it was a great idea.  I chose Vacation Mouse (more commonly known…

Friday (Week in the Life 2018 Day 5)

Finally Friday! Yay! The kitchen is a wreck. I put Ryan’s dessert in Bella’s lunchbox and forgot the jelly on Ryan’s sandwich.  Luckily (for Ryan) I caught both mistakes right away.  I’m really hoping the rest of the day won’t follow the same pattern. At school we were able to practice a couple times before…

Take a Spin at the Rotary Jail Museum

BySheila Racinez

You’re probably wondering what a rotary jail is… Well, it’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like. It’s a jail that rotates around a central core with wedge-shaped jail cells. The selling point of this design, patented in 1881 by William H. Brown, is that only one cell at a time could be accessed through…

In honor of Helen Keller’s birthday, June 27, I have written this post about my 2010 visit to her birthplace, Ivy Green.   I’ve always been a reader.  One book I read as a child that has had a lasting impact was a Helen Keller biography.  I’m not sure if it’s because I also had…

    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.
