We arrived! It's our third day in Kentucky and for the next two nights, we are staying at the Country Inn & Suites in Bowling Green. The Country Inn & Suites is a great option for families, with pools, complimentary breakfasts and spacious rooms paired with friendly staff you'll never want to leave.

Find Comfort at the Country Inn and Suites
On our recent trip to the Chicago area, we chose to stay at the Country Inn in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. We frequently visit the Chicago area and have discovered staying in a suburb is a nice option for our family. It's only a short drive to go into the city but the benefits of staying outside the city far outweigh the drive. First, you don't have to pay for parking in the suburbs! Did you know parking your vehicle at a Chicago hotel can cost over $50 a day? That adds up fast. Country ...

5 Tips for Airline Travel While on Nutrisystem
August is the month of travel for this family. We will be gone for 18 of the 31 days of August. Can you believe that?! While it sounds amazing it also very stressful. How will I stay on track while traveling? What can I take with me on a plane? These were questions that I had rattling through my brain on our drive home last week from Chicago. We were home for less than 36 hours before we headed to the airport to board a plane for Orlando. That short time home didn't leave much time for me to ...

Doesn't it feel like summer is just flying by? It seems like just yesterday was the last day of school. It feels like we should still be at the beginning of summer. But were not. School starts in 4 weeks. FOUR WEEKS! Did you get that? In 4 weeks, Peyton will be back in school. Summer will have come to an end. So I'm going to hold on to summer for as long as I can. And for us, that means enjoying as many strawberries as possible. Aren't they the poster child for summer? Strawberries make ...
