*This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own.* Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show is currently closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and is scheduled to re-open on May 9. Check their site for more information about this dinner attraction’s re-opening date – they will post additional information as it becomes available. Recently, I was invited to come down to Myrtle Beach to see Pirates Voyage with my family (Thank you for hosting me!). We stayed at the Hampton Inn Myrtle Beach-Northwood and enjoyed exploring Myrtle Beach Friday evening and during the day on Saturday…
Gatlinburg, Tennessee is a great place to visit with kids. Here are my top six things to do as a family in Gatlinburg! Cades Cove – While Cades Cove isn’t directly in Gatlinburg, it is well worth the 45min-1hr drive outside of the city. My husband was on the fence about whether we should drive there, and it ended up being our entire family’s trip highlight. We did Abrams Falls Trail which was 2.5 miles to the falls and another 2.5 miles back. This trail was fun. It had a good stop at a rock formation…
*This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own.* I wouldn’t suggest going to a theme park with a toddler unless you are very prepared. And even still, something will likely go wrong. Luckily, we chose a theme park that has sections catered toward toddlers. This was a tremendous help! It was great to actually be able to ride rides with her. If you’re considering Dollywood and you’re bringing a toddler along, I hope this post helps prepare you. It’s always best to plan ahead but we all know how unpredictable toddlers are! You need…
**This was one of those times where I wrote half a post and then forgot about it. So this actually happened over a year ago – whatttt. Time flies. But here it is!** A few weekends ago, our little family hopped in the car for 2 full days in Savannah. Savannah with kids can be a challenge! I mean, there are bars galore! It’s definitely a city I’ve always frequented as an adult. How was it going to be WITH the kids? I was a little nervous but I also didn’t want to pass…
Top 5 Things To Do near Lancaster, PA with KIDS! There are so many things to do in Lancaster, PA with kids! This list could be longer. A couple of weeks ago, I (bravely) took the kids with me… alone… to visit family in PA and NJ. On the way up, we stopped in DC for 3 hours and saw a few great sights! On the way back down, we stopped at Dulles to see the air and space museum. It was a fun week, but oh so hectic. If baby girl didn’t hate the car seat so much…
Things to do in Barcelona while pregnant! This past July, I traveled to Barcelona as part of my MFA program. We stayed there for two weeks and I got to know the city pretty well. Being six months pregnant, I wasn’t exploring the bar scene like I normally would be sans kids, so I can’t speak to that (to be honest, when I went in college I was too inebriated to remember exactly where we went), but I can tell you some great things to do in Barcelona while you’re preggo, or if you…
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 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 help all you mamas-to-be with preparing for international travel while pregnant! Baby+Co’s slogan says it all: A modern birth center, built on evidence, delivered with love. Baby+Co. When I was pregnant with Jude, I didn’t travel. Don’t get me wrong, I wanted to, but at the time, it just wasn’t plausible with finances. This time, I’m finishing up a graduate degree which…
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…
