    ByEileen Ogintz March 11, 2014July 10, 2021

    Keeping your children safe around vacation pools and beaches

    ByEileen Ogintz March 6, 2014July 8, 2021

    As many of us head off to warm climes and cruise ships on spring break, it’s especially important to be mindful of water safety, particularly if young kids are along for the trip.

    There’s plenty in Orlando for even the smallest park goers and their parents

    ByEileen Ogintz March 5, 2014July 7, 2021

    There’s no need to wait until kids are in elementary school to bring them to Orlando—not when every park has plenty to wow the littlest park goers and their parents, including big, interactive play areas designed just for them.

    As spring breaks grow in popularity, how to plan one on the fly

    ByEileen Ogintz February 27, 2014July 2, 2023

    Spring break these days is more for families than for college kids, as parents find it easier to grab a few days off in spring rather than summer when the kids have jobs, summer school, camp, sports practice and everyone at work is vying for the same vacation days.

    Why families love the quintessential ski town of Breckenridge, CO

    ByEileen Ogintz February 20, 2014July 15, 2021

    Challenge is a good thing for all ages on vacation and Breckenridge offers it up in spades, whatever the kids’ ages and ability — from the Four O’clock run, which is 3.5 miles long, the terrain parks, the kids’ trails through the trees and kids’ terrain features with names like Rip’s Ravine and Dragon Trail.

    What price will you pay for your child’s safety?

    ByEileen Ogintz February 19, 2014June 28, 2023

    This week there was news of more incidents in which air turbulence injured passengers — and one case sent a baby flying through the cabin (very luckily uninjured). The FAA and the airlines need to act — and parents need to ask themselves again: Is your small child’s safety worth not paying for the extra seat?

    Ostracized snowboarder finds welcome at Snowbird and The Canyons

    ByEileen Ogintz February 18, 2014July 15, 2021

    As the only snowboarder of the family, I constantly have to defend myself and my brethren that we’re not a bunch of sliding reckless criminals one strike from being locked up. I still have two strikes left, thank you.

    Something for every family in Park City, including snowboarder nephews

    ByAndy Yemma February 17, 2014November 10, 2025

    Until this year, I had never snowboarded in Utah. When I thought Utah, I thought tiny martinis and tabernacle choirs . When I thought Park City, I thought fancy film festivals. Turns out, Utah, and specifically the former silver-mining town of Park City, are pure gold.
