My friend Sara’s 12-year-old son has type 1 diabetes. It’s been amazing to watch how the diagnosis has changed their lives—and how it hasn’t. Sara is one of the most organized and on-top-of-it moms I know, and I am constantly awed by how she and her husband handle the challenges of managing their son’s condition. Last summer, their family took a four-week trip to Europe and completed the journey with no major bumps. I'm sure there are other parents out there who can benefit from Sara’s experience planning, researching and managing a major family vacation in a foreign country with a child with type 1 diabetes.

Here’s Sara’s story:

During our month-long focus on Warwick, we've explored our favorite things to do with kids in the area, as well as our top places for indoor and outdoor play. We wrap up our coverage with a roundup of family-friendly restaurants in town.

Warwick has a plethora of eateries, ranging from fast-food chains to higher-end options like Chateau Hathorn. Most of our picks fall somewhere in the middle, and all of them are kid- and parent-approved by my family!

Wish you could visit a chocolate factory, make your own candy bar, and then burn off those calories at a nearby amusement park? You don’t need to drive to Hershey, PA for this kind of adventure. Just head on over to Fascia's Chocolates in Waterbury. This New Haven County family-owned business has been making life sweet in Connecticut for the past 50 years.

So far during our month-long spotlight on Warwick in Orange County, we've rounded up our top 25 things to do with kids in town and the area's best places for outdoor play. Today we're looking at our favorite spots where kids can learn and play indoors in this Hudson Valley community.

Whether it’s trying a new sport, getting creative or lounging around with a good book, Warwick has options for a range of interests and ages. Read on for our list of the best places for kids to spend some fun and enriching time indoors in town.

There are lots of great outdoor events on tap this week as we move into the summer season! With popular annual street fairs and the start of many free outdoor concert series, there's plenty of warm weather fun to be had all over the tri-state area.

Head to nearby New Jersey for Oasis Family Farm's Strawberry Festival, complete with wagon rides, pie-eating contests and, of course, strawberries! Or travel back in time at the Robin Hood Renaissance Festival in New Haven, where kids can try archery, participate in daily tournaments and enjoy other period activities. Spending the weekend in the Hamptons? Here's a roundup of all the family-friendly fun on tap.

Our Travel site has details on what may be the world's most kid-friendly lodging: Florida's new LEGOLAND Hotel.

Here's what else we covered on the NYC site this week:

Party over here! Party over there! Holla! Mommy P in the house! Or in this case at the Autry, chilling with our SoCalMoms peeps and getting our family fun on. Come on down and touch some Aquarium of the Pacific sea life, snap yourself silly in the photo booth, get glammed from nails to hair, and watch the kid bands battle it out. It's going to be epic.

Or you can just walk it off. Or ride. Or dance. In Pasadena, you can show you don't need no stinkin' car to get where you're going. At South Coast Botanic Gardens, you can run-stroll in solidarity with fellow moms. So you think you can dance? Try shaking your tail feathers with Ernie, Cookie, and Elmo.

Whatever you're up for, we can help you figure out how to do it, whether you want to catch a new flick, an old one, or several in a row. Whether you want to pick a good book, or fine berries, or stars out of the sky, we're here for you. Come say hi.

Keep reading for some of our favorite picks for this weekend...

Get ready for a "berry" good time at this weekend's annual Strawberry Festival in Bellmore. Or turn your berry bounty into sweet treats at Benner's Farm.

Looking for some indoor fun? A stage adaptation of the beloved children's book Goodnight Moon is being performed at the Long Island Children's Museum throughout the weekend. Or you could catch another page-to-stage musical, Seussical, in Islip.
