Several botanical gardens are having Mother's Day events this Sunday. One of the advantages of going to a botanical garden, I've found, is that they usually have wonderful gift shops that are perfect places for picking up that last minute present.
If you've forgotten to buy your mother a gift, when she's not looking, perhaps, when she's basking in the fragrance of a floral paradise, slip into ...One for the Road: Chat with "50 Best Girlfriend Getaways" Author
May 13th, 2007 at 12:30PM: We've looked at a variety of travel books this week that focus on moms who move -- for fun, for survival, for family. To wrap things up, I thought it would be nice to have an actual chat with a travel-loving writer mom. A few days ago I spoke with Gutsy Traveler Marybeth Bond, author/editor of several women-focused travel books, including two specifically written for moms: Gutsy Mamas and A ...One for the Road: Bold Spirit
May 12th, 2007 at 9:01AM: Sometimes I get to read the One for the Road books that I mention before writing about them here at Gadling. Other times, I simply share basic info about a book that I think may appeal to some of our readers, without having read it myself. I know that not every book mentioned will interest all -- frankly, some don't even interest me, but I try to offer up a mix that hopefully resonates with a ...One for the Road: Lonely Planet's Travel with Children
May 11th, 2007 at 10:02AM: I think it's safe to say that Maureen Wheeler is the mother of the modern-day travel guide. Her publishing partnership with husband Tony has created a company that continues to inspire, guide and connect travelers worldwide. Through the years, Lonely Planet has introduced all sorts of creative travel titles, in addition to their traditional shoestring guides. One of these alternative guides is ...One for the Road: The Curve of Time
May 10th, 2007 at 10:40AM: We journey to Canada for our next traveling mom story, a true-life tale originally published in 1962. The Curve of Time: The Classic Memoir of a Woman and Her Children Who Explored the Coastal Waters of the Pacific Northwest was written by M. Wylie Blanchet, a free-spirited mom born in Montreal in 1891. At the age of 36, Blanchet's husband died, leaving her alone with their five children on ...One for the Road: Forever Lily
May 9th, 2007 at 12:10PM: I wanted to feature a book this week that had to do with the adoption process, and the journey many mothers or fathers make to bring a child from another land into their lives. Forever Lily: An Unexpected Mother's Journey to Adoption in China is such a book, but the reviews on this memoir are mixed. Author Beth Nonte Russell accompanies her friend Alex to China, where Alex has arranged to adopt a ...One for the Road: The Travel Mom's Ultimate Book of Family Travel
May 8th, 2007 at 1:03PM: Self-proclaimed Travel Mom Emily Kaufman has written a handy guide for mothers (and fathers!) in search of strategy when it comes to planning a family vacation. Although the reviews are mixed on just how useful this book really is, I thought The Travel Mom's Ultimate Book of Family Travel was still worth a mention as part of this week's Mother's Day reading roundup. The book is really geared to ...One for the Road: Gutsy Mamas
May 7th, 2007 at 9:54AM: Our next pick for a travel book that celebrates motherhood is Travelers Tales inspiring Gutsy Mamas: Travel Tips and Wisdom for Mothers on the Road. Although published ten years ago, I'm sure the advice offered up by author Marybeth Bond (the official Gutsy Traveler) is a collection of timeless tips, many of which must still hold true today. This pocket guide for roaming mothers (and grandmothers) ...One for the Road: Making Connections - Mother Daughter Travel Adventures
May 6th, 2007 at 11:53AM: Today we kick off our next One for the Road weekly theme: a celebration of moms on the move! All our recommendations for the coming week will be books that explore ways in which motherhood and travel intersect. Maybe you'll even discover a gift idea for your own mom. You've got plenty of time -- Mother's Day is still a full week away! Our first suggestion is an award-winning anthology edited by ...
