Travel Clothes for Kids: Spring Break Edition
Is anyone else mentally packing your bags and heading south? While my travel wardrobe remains quite unchanged, my kids have grown two feet and have to/get to replace their clothing. Here are a few of our favorites for spring travel with our kids:

Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road: Frank Lloyd Wright tours, AirZoo, and a Beach Cabin update
Hello and Happy Monday! Once again, I missed Friday, so this is coming a few days late. We had a school play and soccer followed by some sick kiddos at home, but here’s hoping that everyone is on the up-and-up now. I hope that you all had a relaxing weekend and are ready for a productive week that will hopefully fly by! Spring is in the air, which means we’re ready to get out of the house~ (at least I am! The 5 year old wanted to play dinosaurs in the basement on a 60 degree day… and the dinosaurs can’t even talk… just growl). While I did convince him…

Island Travel Interviews- Cambodian Islands, Take 1 (Koh Rong Samleom)
Before we begin this week’s Island Travel Interview series on Koh Rong Samleom), here is a bit more information about the Honeymoon Backpackers, taken from their bio: Mon and Dyl are newly wed Aussies, who quit their jobs and gave away everything they own, to travel the world on their endless honeymoon which began in May 2016. They’ve since witnessed the northern lights in Canada, surfed with dolphins in Australia, swam with whale sharks in the Philippines, bathed with elephants in Thailand, sand boarded down a volcano in Nicaragua, bungee jumped 147m in Costa Rica, conquered the world’s highest tandem skydive in America, scuba-dived with turtles in The Caribbean, snowboarded…

Maybe this should now be Monday Musings on Mackinaw Road? Last week gave hints of spring followed by slaps in the face of winter. Nonetheless, it had me dreaming Spring Break Dreams. In case you missed it last year, here were my Top Spring Break Beaches. The list remains the same for 2018, but I would also update it with Carmel-By-The-Sea, which you can read about here.

Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road: Little Passports, Mahabis Slippers and Shiplap
Happy Friday! Once again this week has flown by. Even though this winter has been snowy in Michigan, it seems like we’ve seen the sun more often, which is a welcome surprise. Nonetheless, it is always so nice to have a “look forward to” in order to make it through February. We are headed to San Antonio, my first time to Texas, and I’m looking for all of your suggestions! I am also wondering if I should stay in San Antonio for the 4 days or recruit someone to drive the three hours to The Silos. What do you think?

What to Do When a Furry Family Member Dies Unexpectedly
It’s taken a long time to be able to write this post, vacillating between whether it was too personal, just too difficult to write, etc. But, in the end, I guess I’m just hoping that it maybe helps someone else who lost their furry family member while traveling or at home… Doesn’t really matter, it’s super painful no matter how you lose them. Here it goes…

**This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! Aruba. How I love Aruba. It’s been awhile since we’ve been but I’m quite certain I would still love Aruba. Just off the coast of Venezuela, this Dutch Island had the warmest of breezes and seas when we visited. I’m excited to compare experiences as Megan from Some Places I Am Moderately Excited About shares a more current view of the A of the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao).

Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road: Travel Gifts, Ice Cream, a Book, and a Sweater
Happy Friday, Everyone! It’s January and we’re grounded, so the “Finds” are a bit limited, but here we go… [This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you!] Naturally, we are dreaming of sunny skies and crystal clear water as we wait for the “January thaw” that will get us to a balmy 43 degrees on Saturday. Travelogue (Conde Nast’s podcast) was a great listen this week as I gazed through the window at the white snow. They discussed the Caribbean as a 2018 destination. The podcasters started from the northern-most island and headed south, one island at a time (no,…
