I went to Napa Valley for wine…
and somehow ended up doing a mezcal and insect tasting instead. 🫠

Blanco with giant ants.
Añejo with crickets.
Reposado with worms.

Napa isn’t just wine tastings and vineyard views, there are actually some wildly unique food experiences if you’re willing to be a little adventurous.

Would I do it again?
Honestly… maybe...

Have you ever tried edible insects before? What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve eaten?

Ski week, mom edition.
Park City. Snow play. Après.
Low snow season. Still worth the trip.

If you like realistic family travel — the fun parts and the logistics — follow along.

What did you think of the ski season this year? ❄️

We checked the snow report more times than I’d like to admit.

It wasn’t a record-breaking season.
But the mountains were still beautiful. Luckily we got a pow day in. We were happy. ⛷️

If you like honest takes on family-friendly travel — the good, the realistic, and the still-worth-it — follow along.

Stopping to read strangers’ wishes felt unexpectedly comforting — because no matter where people are from, the hopes feel familiar. Health. Family. Higher achievements. More time together. A little luck. A little peace.

As a mom, it reminded me that most of us are chasing the same things — just trying to build a good life for the people we love.

If you could leave one wish behind today, what would it be?

I didn’t realize how overstimulated I was until I got to Solage Auberge in Calistoga. 😅

It’s dreamy, quiet, and genuinely calming — and yes, it still felt peaceful even with kids (which is basically the highest compliment I can give a resort).

If you’re looking for a family-friendly luxury stay in Napa Valley / Calistoga that feels like a real reset, save this for later. @solageauberge

My love language is: booked trips, iced matcha, Pilates, and a face mask that lasts longer than 3 minutes. ✈️🧘‍♀️😅

If that sounds like your bouquet too… we should be friends.

Comment “ME” and share with someone who gets this.

Minimal mess.
Cookies that actually taste good.
Valentine’s baking that worked.

Allow me to reintroduce myself 🤍
I’m Linda—girl mom in my 40’s, always fitting in pilates when I can, and chasing a good coffee or tea… while building a life that keeps family time at the center (even when we’re on the go).

If you’re into family-friendly travel, practical tips and itineraries that actually help, and the real-life moments in between—welcome!

Where should we take the kids next?

We stayed at The Madeline in Telluride and the accommodations were mountain-chic (cozy, elevated, all the lodge vibes) and the ski-in/ski-out location is ridiculously convenient—especially with kids. No shuttles, no hauling gear across town.

Would you splurge for ski-in/ski-out with kids? 👀
