We are leaving for Florida on Friday so we really don’t need much since we keep our freezer and pantry stocked and we still have a ton of produce from last week. This week it’s going to be all about what we already have and how we can use it to make our dinners. This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of HomeAway.This isn’t much of a post but this is what we do before we go on vacation so we do not waste anything! Then vote on your favorite from June 8 to 12 to determine the winner. Watch their 15 to 60-second videos describing why their family should win a vacation from HomeAway.

So I asked around, polled on Facebook and came up with a 7-day Vacation Menu Plan and Shopping List with some quick, classic, kid-friendly dinners. And frankly, planning a menu while trying to get out of town can be a little terrifying. Because you know when there’s a kitchen you (probably) feel obligated to use it. We of course had to talk about the kitchen. So while my girlfriends and I were discussing how much we love having the extra space and flexibility that renting a home or condo allows. It is such a fun time and having a house altogether really contributes to the overall experience. And while we cook, the kids play outside in the snow while we watch from the window. We usually take turns cooking dinner because it’s too hard to take a big group out to eat every night. The wives sit up at night playing dominoes and the guys watch whatever sport they can find on TV. It’s so much more personal than individual hotel rooms. My husband’s family often goes skiing and we love to find a huge house on HomeAway. This Breckenridge trip wasn’t our first HomeAway experience. This would NEVER happen at a hotel in such a confined space. They made themselves cereal and watched a show and mom and dad got to sleep in.

In the mornings, the boys could turn on the TV just like at home. We drank wine and people watched on Main Street.
It was central to all the attractions and after we put the kids to bed at night my husband and I sat out on the balcony. We went to Breckenridge, Colorado last summer and found a 2 bedroom condo on HomeAway. From something in your neighboring town to a place in Florida or even Paris and Rome, you can get twice the space at half the price of a hotel room. Our sponsor, HomeAway is the world’s leading online vacation rental marketplace and they have more than one million listings in 190 countries. If you’ve never stayed in a vacation rental, you seriously need to consider it for your next trip. One friend is taking her family to Colorado this summer and I gave her the #1 piece of advice I always give vacationing families: Skip the hotel. I had a lunch date with some girlfriends a few weeks ago and we were talking about family vacations.
