Quick visit to the corn festival today in Norwell,

Quick visit to the corn festival today in Norwell, Massachusetts! This weekend is the 45th anniversary. Take a hayride, have some corn chowder, learn some native crafts, get your fall wreath, try a pony ride - there’s a little bit of everything! It’s taking place today and tomorrow at the Norwell science center. Stop by and celebrate fall New England-style! 🌽

I love a good women-owned, family-friendly brewery in any city. Redemption Rock Brewing Company (@RR_BrewingCo) has a fabulous selection of brews in Worcester, MA - and at the time had a great vegan food truck outside (@VutureFoo), too. I took home the vacation lager and a coconut cream ale. Our friends and the toddlers liked greeting all the dogs and munching on french fries. Win win! 🍻

Thanks @VisitMA and @DiscoverCentralMA!

Do you have an active #kiddo you want to travel with? Do you want to make sure your vacation is a mix of keeping them happy and relaxing a bit yourself, too? We love a good balance in our trips: which is why Central Massachusetts is just about perfect.

When there, make sure you hit up the @EcoTarium! Our toddler lost her marbles at her first planetarium experience, it was truly a highlight. There are also animal displays, a bubble play area, train rides, dinosaurs, and experiment stations.

Thanks @VisitMA and @DiscoverCentralMA!

We’ve had an absolute blast with our little toddler traveler this summer! ☀️

Discover your own backyard! We had to get creative

Discover your own backyard! We had to get creative last month with COVID in the house. There's a great place called Hedges Pond in Plymouth, MA that has sandy beaches and mild waters for a dip. The main beach can get crowded, but if you're up for a short 10-minute walk through the woods, there's a secret beach on the other side of the pond. Not a soul there. We had a great afternoon nursing mild fevers and getting some fresh air!

Have you ever found a secret swimming spot?

Baby's first festival! The local @levitatemusicfestival this July was the perfect intro to live music for our toddler. She absolutely lost her marbles and loved (almost) every second. I think @umphreysmcgee was her fave! We're going to have to practice with headphones more so we can get closer to the stages next time.

Would you bring your kiddo to a music festival?

Cheers! Provincetown, MA is a bit slammed in the summer, but I managed to find a quiet beachside spot for some bubbles anyways. Yes it might have been like 11AM but who's telling time on vacation?!

If you'd like to plan a Provincetown holiday soon, head to PureWander.com and search 'Provincetown" for our full 2022 itinerary!

Welp, our summer weekend plans got busted. 😷 The whole family has COVID. I'm so thankful, so far, no one is severely ill and we might have been through the worst of it already. However, we're doing our best to keep the community safe and our loved ones by isolating as long as we're contagious.

Also luckily, we do still live close to a secluded beach that offers the perfect oasis for a bunch of sniffly, achy travelers who need a little salt air to cure ease their symptoms.

Tell us what you're up to this weekend so we can live vicariously through you! -Eileen

Happy world chocolate day! ☺ It just might be our favorite day of the year. Recently, we went on an incredible trip to Oaxaca, Mexico, and learned all about the sweet traditions there. A drinking chocolate is made with toasted cacao beans, copious amounts of sugar, and cinnamon sticks. It's so rich and delicious!

We loved traveling with @purposefulnomad - the worldwide tours are so authentic, in-depth and respectful of local communities to help visitors learn and appreciate local craftsmanship.

The cacao bean grinding takes some time but the final product is well worth it. The power of women in Oaxaca to make chocolate by hand it amazing to witness!

What's your favorite kind of chocolate?! 🍫

Oaxaca, #Mexico is magic. And the women in Oaxaca

Oaxaca, #Mexico is magic. And the women in Oaxaca are not messing around!

We had the privilege of visiting so many incredible establishments of Zapotec women who have built local craft and skillshare co-ops from scratch. Not only are they empowering themselves, but they are also financially supporting local projects to lift up their entire communities. I can't wait to share all the details in upcoming posts!

Who made all this happen? The team behind @purposefulnomad, which offers bespoke trips worldwide for curious women and families. We had such a fun time with this crew!

Thanks to the gradual lifting of travel restrictio

Thanks to the gradual lifting of travel restrictions and social distancing measures, many of us are being bitten by the #travel bug again. But for people in recovery (or those who simply don't drink), vacations can be a double-edged sword. Thankfully, #alcohol-free #vacations can still be loads of fun. 🍹

My home! With all the traveling I've been privileged to experience over the last decade and a half, I've never dove deep into my hometown of #Plymouth, Massachusetts. If you visit, here's a TON of fun things to see, hailed by a local. -Eileen

NEW! We’re all itching to get out of Dodge these

NEW! We’re all itching to get out of Dodge these days, right? While researching pretty destinations in New England we could take a little drive to see, I remembered Newport. It’s a seaside town in Rhode Island I hadn’t visited before despite growing up only 90 minutes away. This year was the perfect time to finally see what all the fuss was about those famed mansions.

Visit PureWander.com for the post!

Arizona! 🌵🌵 I think one the best days was spent in Tubac, As a plucky, artistic town, there was loads to d for shoppers, toddlers, and everyone in between. We went during one of their annual events with lots of streetside booths and free hayrides. Maybe a little kitschy, but definitely tons of fun.

What's your favorite small town?

Traveling with toddlers! Phew, taking little Rory

Traveling with toddlers! Phew, taking little Rory on a plane as an infant was a cake walk compared to her at 15 months old. Things went great first at the lounge with some snacks. But after a quick 30-minute nap on the plane, she decided it was all too exciting to sleep. 😳

The second picture of her refusing to dismount a carousel is an accurate portrayal. I somehow managed to hold a wriggling 20-pound python for five hours to Arizona - 0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND. 👎 For us, it made sense to get her own seat with the car seat on the way home, which was 1000% easier and worth every dollar. She slept most of the flight. And the trip itself was great!

There are a few other tricks I learned I'll definitely use for upcoming flights too - we have some tentative plans for the UK and Spain this year. I'm so excited to be back on the road! Have you traveled with a toddler before, either by car or plane?
