Thanks to the folks at the TreEscape Aerial Adventure Ropes Course for providing my family and me a fun day of challenges in the trees free of charge. All opinions expressed here are my own.

The course is an exhilarating combination of rope walks, obstacles, climbing elements and zip lines in a beautiful forest in Vernon, NJ. Mountain Creek is a 4-season resort located in Sussex County in northwestern New Jersey. My daughters were excited about spending a day zip lining Continue reading...
New Jersey to Vermont Road Trip Part 3 (Stowe and Auto Toll Road)
Last week I shared the second leg of my family's road trip from New Jersey to Vermont. (I shared about our Stowe, Vt., hotel, The Lodge at Spruce Peak, and our day checking out sights like the Beb & Jerry;s factory.) My family had driven up through New York State and stayed in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., one night to break up the drive and visited Burlington, Vt., before heading to Stowe. We woke up to a beautiful sunny morning our second full day in Stowe. I was happy since our first full day in Stowe was rainy. (That day we did the Ben & Jerry's tour and went shopping). My family and I Continue reading...
New Jersey to Vermont Road Trip – Part II (Stowe, Vermont)
Earlier this week, I wrote about my family's first leg of our summer vacation from New Jersey to Vermont. (The first two days of our trip we drove up to Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and visited the fun lakeside town of Burlington, Vt.) Today I am going to share a bit about the gorgeous resort we stayed at in Stowe, and about our first evening and first full day in Stowe. After my family spent a beautiful afternoon in Burlington, Vt., we headed east to Stowe, Vt., where we spent the rest of the week. The Lodge at Spruce Peak in Stowe, Vermont I booked a beautiful suite at The Lodge at Continue reading...
New Jersey to Vermont Road Trip – Part 1 (Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and Burlington, Vt.)
Earlier this summer, my family and I took a beautiful road trip from central New Jersey up to Vermont. We saw so many pretty sights! We also brought our 18-month-old Shih Tzu puppy with us. We had a great time! Today I'm sharing the first leg of our trip -- from New Jersey to Saratoga Springs, NY. Vermont is about 6 hours away from my family's home in Central New Jersey. I thought it'd be nice to split up the drive to and from Vermont. That way, we could visit some additional areas and spend fewer hours at a time in the car. For the way up, I picked the beautiful town of Continue reading...

Topgolf – Family Fun, Golfing & Good Food
This post was sponsored by Topgolf of Mount Laurel, NJ. My family and I received a free visit to Topgolf in exchange for my honest review. My family and I aren't golfers, but we had an awesome time golfing this past Sunday at TopGolf in Mount, Laurel, NJ. Topgolf is a top-notch entertainment center for all ages that has locations across the U.S. The concept of Topgolf is really a lot of fun -- when you play at Topgolf, your family or party is assigned a hitting bay, much like you get a lane when going to a bowling alley. You pay for the bay by the hour, not per person, and up to six Continue reading...

My Newest Go-To Bag for Day and Overnight Trips
Thanks to American Shield for sponsoring this review. I received a free Granite 25 backpack in exchange for my honest opinion. I recently celebrated a birthday in January. My family's tradition is to go away for a long weekend to celebrate. We usually pick a cute town within a few hours of our New Jersey home to visit. We shop, eat some good food and enjoy the hotel's pool. I love exploring new places and seeing new scenery, even if it's just a few hours from our house. When we go, I like to bring a small but roomy bag to pack my clothes for a night or two. I also like to bring my laptop, Continue reading...
Tools for Getting Organized in 2019
This post was sponsored by Velvet Caviar, who provided me with a phone case, portable charger and phone ring in exchange for my review. One of my resolutions for 2019 is to be more organized. I tend to be an artsy kind of person and never been an extremely organized, list-making kind of person. I admire people who are, though, and see how it can make life run more smoothly! This year I've acquired some new tech and organizational items and accessories, and I think they are really improving my game. I decided to share them all here with you!
