2-Week Family RV Road Trip Through Colorado, Utah & Wyoming: Itinerary and Highlights with Kids
We spent a bit over two weeks exploring Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming by RV in the summertime. Traveling with four kids is never simple—especially when our oldest was dealing with a broken foot and wrist in a boot and splint—but we still managed to cover a lot of ground. From red rocks to dunes, alpine lakes to geysers, the mix of big-name parks and quick stops gave us plenty to remember. Colorado Springs: Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak & Cheyenne Cañon Colorado Springs sits at

10 Easy One-Pot Plant-Based Meals for Family Travel Days
Cooking on the road with four kids means food has to be intentional, efficient and with minimal cleanup, just as much as it is tasty and filling. When we travel, I turn to recipes that tolerate limited pantry and cooking space, uneven heat and little time. Most of these meals are one-pot, skillet-based, or no cooking at all. Several double as lunchbox food the next day, which matters when grocery stops are infrequent. I lean on pantry staples, frozen vegetables, and recipes t

RV Trip Insurance: What Coverage Really Matters
Not Exactly the Travel Content I Had Planned I’ve always thought of RV travel as forgiving. If something doesn’t work, you adjust. You reroute. You slow down. You stay an extra night. That assumption held up for years — until it didn’t. During our winter RV trip this year, I was injured, and this quickly became a medical situation that took priority over everything else. Within a very short time, the trip itself stopped being relevant. Where we were headed didn’t matter. What

Jellystone and KOA Campgrounds: What Families Should Know Before Booking
When you travel with four kids in an RV, you start noticing what really makes a campground work — not the glossy marketing photos, and not only the bathrooms and laundry rooms. Sometimes all we want is to camp for a long weekend, relax and enjoy the local activities at the campground. Sometimes our adventures are more nature-centric, and the campground is just our reset point between adventures. Over the past few years, we’ve stayed at multiple Jellystone and KOA campgrounds

Vegan Pantry Checklist for Road Trips and RV Travel with Kids
When we travel—whether it’s a two-week RV trip or a weekend on the road—our pantry makes or breaks how smooth meals go. With four kids who are on the pickier end, I’ve learned that forgetting or running out of some ingredients, leads to cranky car rides and overpriced not-so-healthy compromises at rest-stops. Stocking a travel-ready vegan pantry keeps everyone fed, saves money, and gives us the flexibility to cook simple meals wherever we land. Here’s what always earns a spot

Weekend with 4 kids at the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve
We spent a weekend exploring New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in West Virginia. Our plan was to get a good mix of hiking, overlook, and time by the river, while staying somewhere that worked well for all six of us. Taken before sunset from the Concho Rim Overlook The New River Gorge in West Virginia is a whitewater river and is considered one of the oldest ones on Earth (this is not a mistake!), that flows north and is responsible for carving the deepest and longes
