How We Got to Relax and Re-energize at Rumors Resort
The last time we stayed at Rumors Resort, to Madi’s extreme disappointment, their new swimming pool was just not quite finished yet. Darn!

Caye Caulker Becoming a Top Tourist Destination in Belize
Caye Caulker is changing. There are lots of new things going on, but life on the island still runs at the “Go Slow” pace it is so famous for. Things are different since last time we visited.

We Did Not Want to Leave Naia Resort and Spa

Chocolate Education Another Belizean Adventure
Chocolate is healthy! Ok hear me out, cause we’ve all been told to put down the chocolate cake or refuse the chocolate bar staring us in the face at the grocery store checkout.

The Highest Zip Line in Belize, One Terrified Mom and More
Conquering a Zip Line should be a breeze after skydiving right? Not so much for this mom! I still can’t explain the overwhelming sense of fear that came over my body when I got strapped to the first line at Mayan Sky Canopy Tours. “Mom, but you jumped out of an airplane!” Madi was quick […]

Plunge Into Rio Blanco Falls
They are magical; they are mystical, they are magnificent. Who doesn’t like visiting waterfalls? Big or small, there is just something awe-inspiring about them.
