About

Hi, I’m Melissa!

Welcome to my blog, a place where I share our life, travel, and family adventures.

I’m a mom to an adventurous 8 year old girl and an energetic 4 year old boy. I currently stay home and manage our crazy household, but in a former life I was an attorney, a figure skating coach, an international athlete, and a Division I rower.

In addition to finding adventures for my family, I do a lot of volunteer work. I sit on the Board of Trustees for my high school and also am an official for US Figure Skating. My volunteer work allows me to maintain some sense of self, which, in turn, allows me to be a better mom and wife.

Travel and family experiences were a big part of my childhood and, in fact, make up some of my favorite memories! Back then it was about spending time with my family and just having fun. Now that I’m a mom, I realize that these adventures also provided life lessons and an education that can’t be replicated in a classroom.

Whether it’s an at home activity, local day trip, or a week-long international adventure, we embrace our time together, enjoy the adventures, and create memories and smiles!

Thanks for visiting! I hope you enjoy reading about our adventures and that this blog inspires you to have your own family adventures!
