I love my kids and enjoyed being a stay-at-home mom. My kids are teens now, and I regret losing my identity to motherhood. It took work to find it again.
My friends and I tried Palo Steakhouse's unlimited brunch on a Disney cruise. The adults-only restaurant had unlimited food, great drinks, and a view.

My husband and I had dinner at The Palm Restaurant, a posh steakhouse chain in Universal Orlando's Hard Rock Hotel. We enjoyed every part of our meal.
Universal's Stella Nova Resort just opened, and I spent a night in the family-friendly hotel for $124. I couldn't believe the incredible value.

I love fried chicken, but I avoid making it because I don't want to deal with the mess. Ina Garten has an oven-fried version that's easy to make.

My family tried Italian-American chain Maggiano's Little Italy for the first time and agreed that the chain was a great value and felt high-end.
I took my second cruise with a multigenerational group of women. We acted like kids and I loved borrowing my friend's mom.

We ordered chicken tenders and all 11 sauces at KFC's spinoff restaurant, Saucy, which opened in Orlando. Our fast-food meal was an amazing value.
I went to Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach, and Seaside in Florida's 30A, "the Hamptons of the South." Here's why Seaside was the best and what to do there.

Recent visits to steakhouse chain restaurants like Outback and The Capital Grille with our teens have felt like the best value for our family of four.

We went to LongHorn Steakhouse, Ruth's Chris, Outback, Texas Roadhouse, and The Capital Grille to see which steakhouse chains are worth it for families.
We took a short drive to Potcake Place K9 Rescue on Providenciales and volunteered to walk a puppy. It was an amazing way to sightsee and give back.

I compared lasagna recipes from celebrity chefs Ina Garten, Ree Drummond, and Giada De Laurentiis. The Pioneer Woman's version was the best.
I recently took a three-day solo trip to London and did all the things a tourist would do. My only regret is not staying longer.
I used to do elaborate Elf on the Shelf displays for my kids. It was a hassle, but now that they're teenagers, I miss doing it.
Disney World and Universal go all out for the holiday season. I spent evenings at each one to see which theme park offers the best value right now.
I brought my friends' kids to Disney World because my teens don't like going anymore. I loved seeing Disney through the eyes of small children.
I'm a mom of two and a frequent traveler, but I had never been to London. It was the perfect place to go on a solo trip.

Our multicourse meal at fondue chain The Melting Pot was worth the price for the experience alone, but we'd order differently next time to save money.
In December, I went shopping during the holidays at Target and Walmart to see which chain had better sales and prices on presents for my kids.
