My family and I live in Hawaii – very beautiful, very expensive. Our daughter is 2.5 years old and our son is 7 months. A staycation here is stress-free, fun and easier on the budget. We love to go to the Disney Aulani Hotel.

When the kids are older, we plan to limit more on toys and material gifts. We want to give them more experiential gifts. Perhaps a trip to the movies or to Disneyland. I think good memories with time spent together is better than a toy that they will soon outgrow.

In this day and age, so many people.. adults and kids.. are always on their electronic devices. Life isn’t about the newest this or that or coolest game or show. It’s about relationships. When out together, perhaps enjoy a hike, have a meal, explore a new place. Be in the moment.
