About us

family posed

Hey, hey! I'm Tonya. And I'm so happy to have you here!

I'm a longtime newspaper reporter turned stay-at-home mom, stepping out from above the fold to do my own thing as a writer.

Now I write about tourism and kid-friendly places to go in California and Washington state. Because, as I like to say around here, sometimes you just need to get out of the house!

Poke around my site and find all things kid-fun in hotels, trips, family-friendly businesses, gift guides and more.

And make sure to check in with us on our Instagram Stories -- that's where all the video fun is :)

Meet Clara

Clara is 7 years old. She likes to see how things work, eat candy and is obsessed with all things sparkly (that's my girl). She calls "instructions", "constructions" (swoon) and says she loves me "all the days". She learned how to read this year and is a pandemic Facetime pro.

When she's not adventuring, Clara is an awesome artista!

Meet Wyatt

Wyatt is 5 years old. He sports some major dimple action and is excellent at pretending to be a dinosaur. He loves his big sister and his preschool friend Jade from back home. He plays all the video games and does math with Bowen and is outgrowing all his clothes. He's my little man!

When he's not adventuring, Wyatt likes yelling at Alexa from across the room to play all his favorite dancin' songs!
