Book To Inspire Family Wanderlust

When I was a kid, I had a huge map of the world next to my bed. I used to stare at it for hours and dream of all the faraway places I hoped to visit. Which, if you know me should come as no surprise!

I still love to stare at a map, this time with intentional “where should we go next” wanderlust. During our recent cruise, I actually spent a crazy amount of time with the Holland America cruise view book they left in our stateroom, dreaming of all the sea adventures I hope to take someday (113-day around the world trip anyone?).

I also follow several families, through their websites, who are traveling around the world – with kids in tow. So when Bloomsbury approached me to check out an advanced copy of their new book, Where the Magic Happens: How a Young Family Changed Their Lives and Sailed Around the World, I was intrigued by the title alone!

Today I’m excited to share my review of this autobiography, and keep reading for your chance to snag an autographed copy!

Momma To Go would like to thank Bloomsbury Publishing for an advance copy of this book. As always all opinions are my own.

Planning a trip to Iceland

One of the great side effects of being a seasoned traveler, and travel blogger, is that friends and family often ask me to help them plan their trips. (I really need to become an agent, its something I am thinking of doing – any advice on this definitely welcome). So when a friend recently asked for help planning a trip to Iceland, of course I was happy to get to work! Since I had already done the legwork, and put together a great list of must-do activities, I figured I would turn my research into an article to share with you.

Travel Gear to Love: Personalized Yeti Tumbler

Since starting this site in October 2016, I have not taken on any product reviews. Nothing has come across my path that I would normally purchase, or a product pitch that would really fit with my travel lifestyle. That is until personalizedcart.com approached me for a review of one of their products. They offer something that I have had my eye on for sometime – a personalized Yeti tumbler! I am so excited to share my review of what I can say is the BEST travel mug and a great site to purchase from!

I received a personalized yeti tumbler from personalizedcart.com to review. As always, all opinions are my own.

A Road Trip to Nashville, Tennessee

I love a good road trip — and one of the best ones I have ever taken was from Washington, D.C. to Nashville, Tennessee. As a road trip destination, Nashville is so accessible from other East Coast cities, yet has such a different vibe than Atlanta, Washington, D.C., or New York City. Plus, there is so much to do in Nashville, whether you are an art lover, history buff, foodie or a music fan.

Everglades Airboat Tour with Wild Florida

We are so lucky to be able to visit Orlando Florida often! My cousin lives there, and her kids are around the same age as mine. They adore each other and we love exploring Orlando together. In the past, we all visited Legoland Florida (twice), Chef Mickey Brunch, the Orlando Eye, Aquatica and the Orlando Crayola Experience. So when planning this recent Florida trip, we were trying to think of something unique to do. My cousin suggested we try an Everglades Airboat Tour and I knew this was something my kids would love! We spent the day with Wild Florida and I am so excited to share my everglades airboat tour and gatorpark review with you!

Momma To Go would like to thank Wild Florida for hosting us at a discounted rate! As always opinions are all my own.

Tough Mudder Long Island

Disclosure: Momma To Go is a Tough Mudder Affiliate. As always, opinions are all my own.

Last spring, I received a Facebook notification that someone tagged me in a post, asking me to join their Tough Mudder team. Despite having no idea what Tough Mudder was, I instantly replied, HELL NO. I’m not really tough and I don’t love mud. Fast-forward a few weeks, when working out with some of those signed up for the race, the trainer complimented me and said “Harmony, you are so strong.”

That really resonated with me. And for some reason connected me back to the Tough Mudder invite.

I went home and signed up.

And honestly, it was one of the best things I HAVE EVER DONE. So I am excited to share my Tough Mudder Long Island experience with you, to give readers my best Tough Mudder Tips, and to encourage you to check out this awesome event!

Where should we go on our next BIG trip?

As my readers know, I am always planning my next trip! I do love the planning process and putting the pieces of a trip together, but I also love the prospect of a one-stop shop. Last year, we took a big 3-week trip to Hawaii, which was really our first big adventure. The kids and I just spent two weeks driving to SW Florida (and back) so now I am thinking about something BIG for late summer 2018.

Where should we head this summer?

Edgewater Beach Hotel Naples Florida Review

Momma To Go readers know that my family loves our visits to Southwest Florida! One question I get all the time, and I haven’t been able to answer – is what this the best resort in Naples? On our visits, we stay in a family condo, but I’ve been wanting to scope out some of the local hotels! Well now I can say I have the best Naples hotel recommendation! I am so excited to share my Edgewater Beach Hotel Naples, Florida Review with you!

Momma To Go would like to thank the Edgewater for hosting us for a tour, lunch and a day exploring their grounds. As always, opinions are all my own.
