Montreal: A Family-Friendly City with European Flare

On my recent trip to Montreal, I was overwhelmed with the city’s European flare. After a less than 60-minute flight from NYC, I was transported into a world of cafes, croissants, café’ au laits, signs and menus in French and French architecture. Getting to Montreal is so easy, and the rewards of a weekend away are so abundant. Plus, there are so many things to do with kids, and what better way to introduce them to French culture without breaking the bank on a trip to Europe? Montreal has so much to offer - it’s a city with so much history. Situated Read More

Posted by The Culture Mom 2 Comments

The article below was originally posted on TravelingMom.com. I am re-posting it here for people about to embark on the city for the Royal Wedding. If you have kids, you’ll be interested in some things we learned last summer. In addition to the article, I want to elaborate on where to eat and stay. I spent a year living in London after college, and we go as a family every year, so I have traveled both on a budget and as a family in the grand city rather. While I will admit that eating in London can be quite expensive, it doesn’t have to Read More

Giveaway: Samantha Brown’s Asia on DVD from the Travel Channel

Posted by The Culture Mom 3 Comments

For my birthday this year, my husband handed me the best gift I could possibly ask for: a plane ticket to Hong Kong. Turning 40 last year wasn't as hard as turning 30 (I do have problems with my age, obviously), but I have always felt there was one hole: the fact that I have not traveled to Asia. That is why this giveaway has extra meaning for me - Asia is most certainly on my mind as I am getting ready for the (solo) trip of a lifetime. In this new DVD, we can travel to the Far East with Samantha Brown as she embarks on her most fascinating journey Read More
