Top Tips for Planning the Perfect Family Vacation

Traveling together as a family is an awesome experience that none of you are ever going to forget. Whether you’re looking at going on a cheap and fun staycation or want to take a memorable trip abroad to an exotic location together, there’s nothing better than taking some time off to relax, unwind, have fun and enjoy exploring and having adventures together as a family. For the perfect family trip, it’s essential to make sure that you plan in advance. We’ve put together some of our best top tips to help you put together the perfect vacation that you and your family will love.

Tip #1. Research Hotels:

When it comes to choosing accommodation for your family holiday, it’s important to bear in mind that not all hotels are created equally. The last thing that you want when you arrive at your destination is for your hotel to have nothing in the way of family-friendly amenities, or be totally unsuitable for children. If possible, it’s a good idea to book a villa or vacation home stay for your family, as these tend to offer a lot more room than a standard family hotel room, and a more ‘home from home’ experience that provides more comfort for you and your children. Tremblant Sunstar offers accommodations in Tremblant that are well suited for family vacations.

Tip #2. Put Together a Must-Do List:

Traveling as a family can be tricky when it comes to finding the right attractions and activities since there’s always bound to be something that not everybody will agree on. So, it’s a good idea to look up the type of things to see and do that are available in the area before putting together a list of your must do's and must-sees. This is ideal if you are traveling with both older and younger children, as you’ll probably find that they won’t always want to do the same things, or the activities that your older kids are interested in aren’t always going to be suitable for little ones. This way, you’ll all be able to make sure that everyone gets a chance to do what they want while on vacation.

Tip #3. Book Your Flights Early:

There’s a lot to be said about good last-minute deals, however, the problem with these is that they can often be quite hit and miss. For example, you don’t really know if a flight is going to fill up, meaning that the tickets will be in higher demand, and therefore more expensive when you book them. Along with this, booking your tickets at the last minute could even mean that you won’t be able to get seats together for your family! Booking early can actually help you to get better deals since many airlines will usually put prices down quite low if the flight still has a lot of seats available. Along with this, you will have more time to choose your flight times carefully, for example, to coincide with your younger children’s bedtimes or nap times.

Knot Genie Review and Giveaway

If you have a little girl and have not heard of the Knot Genie then you need to watch the following video:   "The Knot Genie™ and Teeny Genie™ Detangling Brushes were created for every mom that has endured the foot stomping and screaming matches that come with brushing their child's hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically slips through the unique bristle configuration – gently and painlessly. Try the Knot Genie on your kids (or on yourself) – you'll be amazed by the ease of brushing, as well as how it virtually stops breakage and split ends. You've wished for hair brushing standoffs to end. Wish granted." My Review:  Thanks to the Knot Genie for sending me the product to conduct my review.  I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are 100% mine.  I know I have grown so tired of my daughter coming to tears every morning when we did her hair. I was becoming to think she was the most

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week!  I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea  deodorant  that I had never used prior.  I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp???  Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening!  :)  I was dry and I did not stink!  :) WOOT WOOT!  I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future.  :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E.  :) Don't like roll on's??  They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid.  :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them.  However,
