Seven-Springs-Resort-PennsylvaniaThere's more to Seven Springs Resort and Spa than skiing. In fact, a recent summertime trip found that the resort has something going on for kids and grownups alike all year round.

tucsonI can’t be the only one who’s jealous of my children when I get letters from camp describing how much fun they are having on the zip line, canoeing on the lake, hiking in the woods and making friendship bracelets. What if moms could do all that – and get a massage? If you’ve never thought of Canyon Ranch as the ultimate mom sleep away camp, you should.

SciencenterHave you had a chance to take your kids to a science museum lately? My kids love science museums and luckily I do too. Science museums are a great way for kids to explore and learn. 

Recently, I took the kids to the Sciencenter in Ithaca, NY. I had actually driven them to this museum before, but it was a Monday and they are closed on Mondays. From the outside of the building the museum looks like a ton of fun. I knew just from seeing it that we would have to come back someday! Two years later we finally made it and it more than lived up to my expectations.
