The start of a new year is always so much fun. It’s a time to plan new adventures, set new goals…and maybe even find a great new show to binge-watch together with the family! If you’ve been on the hunt for some entertainment that kids of all ages will enjoy, look no further than the newest Netflix exclusive, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events!

This darkly humorous rendition of the popular children’s books stars Neil Patrick Harris as the evil Count Olaf and will have school-aged kids booing the villain as they cheer for adorable orphans Klaus, Violet and Sunny. I was impressed by just how well this series was able to offer entertainment suited to both kids and adults. Even if you don’t have kids at home, you’ll want to check it out! [Read more…]

Beaches Resorts – An Unforgettable Adventure for Adults #BeachesMoms

January 23, 2014 by Kathryn 60 Comments

I’ve mentioned that my boys are always in my mind when planning a vacation, but of course, I want to have fun too! So while activities for kids may be a big part of my consideration when travelling, I also want plenty of adult entertainment and activities. And on my family’s recent trip to Beaches Negril in beautiful Jamaica, I experienced the full scope of the more mature activities that the resort has to offer.

Relax at the Spa

The luxurious Red Lane Spa is a haven for any parent that just needs to unwind. Featuring a full range of spa services including massages, facials, manicures, pedicures and more, it’s such a great way to enjoy a little pampering while the kids are having fun at Kids Camp! And for a little mom and daughter bonding, the Red Lane Spa has recently introduced the new Ginger Lily spa menu offering special parent/child spa treatments!

I had the chance to experience one of the new treatments for myself and since I knew I’d be heading back to harsh winter weather soon enough, I decided to indulge in the Front Porch Punch Shea Butter Massage. The mango, melon and strawberry scented Shea butter lotion left my skin so velvety smooth and the massage had me feeling even more relaxed than I had when I first stepped onto the resort. For a totally sensual treat, a trip to the Red Lane Spa is an absolute must when at a Beaches Resort!
