Our Great Smoky Mountains Adventure We are busy planning our fall vacation this year and I’m just as excited as ever to have a week off from work. I started a new job recently and I’m getting into the groove of things so it’ll be a nice break come October. We seriously considered going to Portland, ME and Boston, MA this year but after our crazy Italian wedding/vacation/honeymoon-ish trip, I’m pretty okay with taking a break from flying with the littles for a bit. Since it’s fall, we still want to do…
I have been so lucky with my prenatal care experience this time around with Hattie. So lucky, that I’m now partnering with my birthing center, Baby+Co, to tell you mamas-to-be all about my babymoon experience! Baby+Co’s slogan says it all: A modern birth center, built on evidence, delivered with love. Learn more about Baby+Co here.* Things are a lot different when you already have a child and are planning for your second (or third… or more!). Vacations take on a whole new meaning when you have a kid in tow. We like to…
I’m getting ready for my trip to Barcelona and Lisbon in July and it occurred to me that since I’ll be in my third trimester, I’m probably not going to want to lug around a backpack like I usually do as a carry on. Therfore, I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect rolling carry-on that will hook up to my regular luggage but will also allow me to roll it through airports after I’ve checked my bigger bag. Below are some of my favorite finds via Amazon! I wish I could get them…
I’ll be honest; I didn’t travel but one time in the first year of my son Jude’s life. I was the ultimate traveler before I had kids, but once he was born, I didn’t think I’d be able to afford travel anymore. But also, I was scared of traveling with him. I mean, what do you DO with all those diapers, extra clothes, car seat, stroller, etc, on a plane or in a small car? Babies need way too much stuff and I just didn’t feel like dealing with it. But when I finally…
Some years are better than others. That’s life, right? Well, 2016 was one of the worst of my life. I can say this in full confidence now that there’s a day and a half left of it. 2016, you’re a damn mutha fucker if I ever saw one, the biggest of bitches. Thinking about 2016 gives me similar feelings of falling into quicksand (which still seems like it should be a much bigger issue in life since all the television I watched as a child had someone dying in quicksand) or peeling the stringy…
Being a busy mom means sometimes I don’t get to be as creative when it comes to playing with my kid. I have a Pinterest board full of fun activities and games, but I don’t always get to them. That’s why I LOVE subscription boxes for kids. One of my favorite boxes is Little Passports. You all know how much I just LOVEEEEE to travel, and this is a great way to get your kid started on learning about the world, even if you can’t afford to show it to them yet…
Y’all! We got engaged in Edinburgh!!!! Everything had to conspire to be perfect for the day to go as it did. And it did, go perfect, that is. Well, in the end. The beginning, not so much. You see, this story is complicated. But the end result is perfection. So stick around. This is one worth telling to the grand-kids. 😉 I’m sleep-deprived and panicking. Yes, I’ve slept on the plane. But that is never enough sleep when you’re traveling, especially when the plane was only going from Boston Logan International airport to Reykjavik…
*Please note that this is a sponsored post. While I may have received compensation or free product, my opinions are still my own. I was lucky enough to have a free day while I was staying in Dublin, Ireland for my MFA program, and I just had to use that day to explore Northern Ireland. Because I only had one day, I searched to find a tour that spent the most time at the places I wanted to go. This meant that the tour I ended up choosing left at 6:30am! I chose this jam-packed trip from City…
bars and restaurants in Vienna When you spend two weeks somewhere, you figured out what your favorite places to eat and you tend to frequent them. Our hotel was right next to Santos, so I probably ate there more than two hands worth in my time in Vienna. I like to think they knew me well before I left. Another place I loved to drink at was 1516. I went on a few tinder dates there actually, and even ran into my cousin there on the 4th of July. So without further ado, here are my six favorite restaurants in…
Being a travel agent, I have tons of packing tips and tricks. I’ve compiled a list of things that you should be doing every time you travel! Leave a comment below if you have any to add to the list! It is forever growing. 🙂 General Packing Tips PACK LIGHT! I know you’ve heard this a million times before, but seriously, do it.
