Traveling with Kids: Be Prepared for Anything

My husband and I couldn’t wait for our kids to get a little older so we could all start traveling the world together. I really feel like we learn so much through travel. I am not talking about a go to a resort and sit there kind of vacation, and…

Travel Anxiety Tips

Anxiety can be debilitating, and having travel anxiety can be a bummer when you love to travel. We have a double whammy in our family, my son, who is now 11, and I both have travel anxiety. As an adult and with years of practice, I have somewhat learned how…

Are you you team “fanny”, or team “back” when it comes to packs? I’ve always preferred fanny packs, but with kids, backpacks are definitely the way to go. But now that my kids are older and they can finally carry some of their own stuff, I’ve been re-discovering my fanny pack. I’ve had this Fanny pack right here since I was 14!

Unfortunately, it’s seen better days, so I’ve been looking into some new packs before our Disney trip in a couple weeks. I would love to find a couple new cute ones. I’ve linked a bunch of the ones I’m looking into on my liketoknow.it and in the “shop” section of the blog. Let me know what you think. Link in bio. #fannypack #backpacks #disneystyle

Full credit to my daughter, Audrey, for this recipe. Think of it like a hot chocolate, but instead, a hot pumpkin spice! It’s light and creamy and not heavy or syrupy at all. Even better, there’s no caffeine, so it’s kid friendly. It also makes for a perfect night cap before bed. I have the full recipe up on Stayingblonde right now.

It’s still too warm here for jackets or boots. So when I want to wear some fall styles, I accessorize instead! It’s the perfect opportunity to have some fun with my new silk scarf from @theresadelgado. If you haven’t yet, head over and check out all her new fall prints! They’re gorgeous! Use code “michelletucker” for $50 off! Link in my bio. #fallfashion #silkscarf #silkscarves #fallstyle

If you're looking for a way to mortify kids, just hang their undies out to dry! #ad Our
dryer went out, so much to my kids' chagrin, their @hanes underwear will be billowing in the wind for the next week or so.
At least they're nice undies right? I keep telling them that I could be worse, I could be hanging their old undies out to dry! By the way, if you're in the market for new kid's
underwear, I highly recommend Hanes boy's X-Temp boxer briefs and Hanes girl's
Pure Comfort. They are the only ones I even buy for my kids anymore. The X-temp is
made of cooling fabric which wicks moisture and keeps my son dry. The girl's pure comfort is made with the softest organic cotton and also has flat comfort seams.
They may complain about their underwear being on show, but at least they'll never
complain about wearing them. You can find them @target. You can shop them right
now on my liketoknow.it. Find out more in the link in my bio and in my stories. #Hanes

Guess who has an IEP meeting today? If you have followed me for a while, you know that I am an IEP mom. I have two kids both on IEP‘s at school. This year both of my kids moved schools, one up to middle school, and the other up to the high school, which means new IEP teams for all. After attending back to school night, I almost feel like we are back to square one in so many ways. 😩Hopefully we can get back on track after today’s meeting. #backtoschool #backtoschoolnight #iepmom #momlifebelike

I can’t tell if September is feeling more like September or July! It’s been hot hot hot, so we kicked off the new month beating the heat up in Bass Lake, Ca. Let me tell you, I did not wanna come back home. #basslake #basslakeca #basslakecalifornia #september #californiaheat #thepinesresort

Happy Labor Day!
We are having a major heatwave here in California, so we’re beating the heat this weekend up at Bass Lake.

Bass Lake is about 16 miles from the south entrance of Yosemite and is one of our favorite summer spots. Have you ever seen the movie “The Great Outdoors?” It was filmed right here in beautiful Bass Lake and at the Pines Village.

Do you have a favorite summer spot where you like to go year after year? My kids look forward to coming back to Bass Lake every summer. #basslakeca #basslake #lakelife

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to parenting? I am especially feeling it now that we are in the teen/tween years. I swear I feel like everything I do is wrong nowadays!

These years can be some of the hardest, but they can also be some of the most rewarding. Lately, I’ve really been trying hard to find ways to bond with both of them in order to keep our relationship strong through these years.

I’ve come up with about eight different things that are currently working for us-at least working so far 🤞. Things like one-on-one time, finding their “open hour,” and trying not to over-react are a few of what we’re working on. I’ve posted all of them all over on the blog in the link in my bio if you want to check them out. Do you have specific ways that you try to bond with your kids? #teensandtweens #bondingwithteens #bondingwithtweens #momofteensandtweens

What’s a memory that you didn’t know would end up being so special until later on? On a whim, I booked my daughter a visit to the Bibbidy bobbidy boutique back in 2020 right before the pandemic. I’m so glad I did. It closed for the pandemic soon after. I love that we got to enjoy this sweet experience while she was still young enough to enjoy it. I just read that the bibbidy bobbidy boutique finally opened up again yesterday! It’s such a sweet experience if you have a little prince or princess in your life. I just reposted all about our visit over on the blog. Link in bio. #bibbidybobbidyboutique #disneyland #disneylandcalifornia #disneymagicmoments

This is my go-to recipe when I have more veggies than I know what to do with. Right now my garden is exploding with vegetables, so I’ve made a couple pots of this already so far. I posted the full recipe over on Stayingblonde. Link in the bio. #minestrone #minestronesoup #veggiegarden #freshveggies #inthekitchen #soupson
