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.

Less rushing. Earlier nights. More space for kids to be kids — and somehow it became one of our favorite trips.

If Napa with kids has ever felt intimidating, save this. It is beautifully doable. 🥂

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? 👀

From neighborhood celebrations and cultural festivals to theme parks and iconic parades, LA celebrates Lunar New Year in so many meaningful (and family-friendly) ways.

And year after year, my favorite place to celebrate is Hsi Lai Temple — for the food fair, cultural performances, and the grounding feeling it brings. Even if you don’t make it during the festivities, it’s always worth a visit.

Save this for Lunar New Year planning 🧧 Comment with the one you’re most excited for — and follow along for more family-friendly things to do around LA.
