Linderhof Golf Course Vacation Rental Vaca Vibes in D5

We have an annual tradition to go on a short vacation to the White Mountains, New Hampshire. We are always looking for a great place to stay where the whole family will be comfortable. Recently we found Linderhof Golf Course Vacation Rental. It was in the perfect location and was so clean and homey!

This vacation rental is located in Bartlett, NH on a lovely 9-hole golf course. It is a gorgeous setting and beautiful to walk around.

There is also a pool and basketball courts on the property. The owner, Daniella Morganelli is so nice and very responsive. She also has a great book in the condo with all the information you need.

Let's step inside now. First off there is a private entrance with an electronic lock. So easy, no worry of losing keys! Good for me as I literally did lose a hotel key once on the Cog Railway!

When you walk in there is a lovely living room on your right.

This couch is a pullout bed too. The whole condo is setup with the latest technology with roku and alexa. There is also WiFi.

Here is a lovely fireplace and the TV.

We were lucky we could bring our Sheltie, Shellie. Here she is checking out the living room.

Next up look to your right and there is a fully stocked kitchen.

There is a microwave, coffee maker, spices, pots, pans, plates, utensils, glasses and more.

There is even a Margarita/Slushy making machine!

I love the welcome sign for us along with some goodies for the family.

My favorite part was the master bedroom with a king size bed which was so comfortable!

It is so lovely!

There is another bedroom next door with bunk beds.

From this room you can walk on to the back deck which is the perfect place to sit and relax.

This was newly done by the owners.

It feels so nice and secluded. Here is the view from the back deck.

Another convenience is a washer and dryer right in the condo.

Here is the view of the area the washer and dryer are in with the doors closed.

The bathroom is perfect with shampoo, soap and towels provided.

I also love the extra little touches to make it comfortable for families. Here you can see some kids puzzles. In the closet there was also a pack and play, stroller, and toys for kids.

There were also lots of board games. We played one of the Meme Games one night in the living room. I love family game night!

I love other little touches around the condo that were adorable.

Super cool clock.

Lots of bears. Funny story, last year when we were in NH we went to Dairy Queen one night and we saw a huge bear! It was so cool.

Here is the pool. There is a small extra fee for golf and usage of the pool.

The location is also perfect. It is right across the street from Story Land. We walked there in 5 minutes. There is a bridge under the road to walk across.

Definitely check them out! Tell them Evan and Lauren's Cool Blog sent you!

Story Land Fun

For the 14th year in a row we visited the place where fantasy comes to life, Story Land in Glen, NH. Even as the kids get older we have a blast there! Read on for a discount code to save $9 on tickets.

One of our first stops is to see Humpty Dumpty. Here is a cute comparison picture from 2008 to 2019.

Here is one in their frame which was newly painted this year.

 Here is one in the front of the park.

Story Land is so unique and has lots of fun things to see. You really feel like you enter a storybook land.

 It was such a beautiful day. 

The park is so great for little kids but my kids still have fun there. They love riding the Polar Coaster.

 You can see them here in the back row.

One of the most fun rides is the new roller coaster called Roar-O-Saurus. This awesome wood roller coaster is so much fun!

We loved it. It is a great transition coaster between a kiddie coaster and a more adult full size coaster.

 We also love the Bamboo Chutes!

This flume water ride is a great on a hot day! Here we are riding.
 

Here is a beautiful view from the top.

There are also some adorable shows including a Magic Show, Fun Times At Fairy Tale High and a Daniel Tiger Show. You can see the schedule here.

They have redone the Slipshot Safari and Dinos have now invaded.

Look for clues, Dinos and for Bob while you go on safari.

Another cool ride to cool off on is Splash Battle: Pharaoh's Reign.

So fun riding the tractors. I have such fond memories as this was the first ride Evan could go in the front and "drive". Now he can't even fit in the front seat.

Check out the animals too. 

There are plenty of places to take fun pictures.

I know you will have a blast at Story Land no matter what age your kids are!

See you next year Story Land for year number 15!

Parents Deserve a Great Night's Sleep: Solay Mattress $100 Discount and Pillow Review

Everyone told me get sleep before you have kids and I really didn’t believe them until I had the first few sleepless nights. Well now my kids are 14 and 12 and now I can’t sleep for other reasons. The stress of family life, being overly busy with limited breaks takes a toll on my body. Plus, my mattress is older than my kids are, and I have literally tried every pillow on the market! Either they are too hard, and I get a pain in my neck or they are too soft and not supportive enough. Read on as I try out a Solay pillow, and I have a $100 discount on a Solay Mattress! 

I am a side sleeper and have to be in a certain position to fall asleep. I also have Hashimoto’s Disease Hypothyroidism which puts my makes my body temperature higher, so I tend to sweat at night. When I heard of Solay Mattresses and their cooling to layer I was intrigued. This breathable cooling foam layer sits on top of hundreds of springs for the best night sleep. No matter what age your kid are you need the energy to keep up with getting them to activities, helping with homework, working, cooking dinner, doing laundry and cleaning the house. It is exhausting and without a good night sleep I get run down and sick. I also tend to roll back and forth a lot and feel bad if it wakes my husband up as he is a light sleeper. Another cool thing that each Solay mattress has hundreds of individual Quantum Edge® pocketed coils for motion transfer reduction so you won't feel all that movement at night.

Plus, I love that Solay comes with a 180 Night Trial and a 25-year Warranty! You really can only tell so much by lying on a mattress at a store, the proof is sleeping night after night. With 180 nights to try it out you can be sure you will know that this mattress is comfortable, and you can get a good night’s rest. If it really isn’t the mattress for you Solay will pick it up with no questions asked and give you a full refund. They also have Premium Foam Pillows which are also designed with their premium cooling foam. No flipping pillows to the cool side of the pillow anymore! They come in both standard and king sizes. 

I received one of the Standard size pillows to try out. First off, I felt the cooling as soon as my head hit the pillow. For me getting comfortable and finding the right position to sleep in is key or I toss and turn. When I laid my head down on the pillow that is the last I remember, I fell right to sleep. The proof for me is right there, plus I woke up feeling refreshed with no neck pain. 

Shellie our Sheltie decided to try out the pillow too and gave it two paws up! 

As her face shows here, “Mommy stop taking pictures with that flash so I can sleep”. I think I have found a new market for Solay, dog beds! 

 What amazes me is that you can buy a luxury Queen hybrid mattress for only $999! What a high-quality mattress for a great price! 

Plus, I have a Promo code of $100 off a Solay Sleep mattress! Head to Solay Sleep and enter code: GILDA 

 As parents don’t we deserve the best night’s sleep that we can get? 

Disclosure: I received a Solay Pillow for promotional purposes. As always, all opinions are my own, but I may speak for our dog Shellie.
