Naxos—The Perfect Greek Island for Families

Naxos should be a key destination in any Greek island-hopping itinerary, as it might be the perfect island, especially for families.

We seemed to have skipped spring and went straight to summer - and I’m not bothered by it one bit.
We’ve had a couple of warm days and I am taking the opportunity to try out some of my new spring dresses and outfits. I ended up loving this black dress. It’s super comfy and, is made of a thicker material. It will be perfect for travel days. I have it linked on my LTK and in my stories. #summerdresses👗 #blackdress #amazonfashionfinds #fashionover40 #whatiweartoday #ltkunder50 https://liketk.it/59lNT @shop.ltk

Have you been somewhere with your kids that you would love to revisit with just your significant other? My husband and I will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary this summer and I’ve been researching where we should go to celebrate.

I’ve been looking through our photos and videos from Italy, specifically the Amalfi Coast, and I keep thinking about how much I would love to go back for a romantic getaway.

This lovely little spot is in Praiano. The restaurant is called Il Pirata and it is so dreamy. I have our full Amalfi Coast itinerary in the link in my bio, including where we stayed and what we did. #amalficoast #praiano #italytravel #wanderlust #positano #ilpirata #italytips #traveltips #europeansummer @pirata.praiano

I think that I’ve always had that urge… even before kids. 😂
If there’s one bit of advice I can offer to other parents, it is to travel with your kids as much as you can and as early as possible. It only gets harder and more expensive to as they get older. I’m truly grateful for all the memories we’ve been able to make so far.
I’m currently trying to figure out and fit in our Japan trip this summer. So if anybody has any Japan advice, I’m all ears.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
As I threw my corned beef in the crock pot this morning, I started reminiscing about our trip to Ireland last summer. We were only there a few days, but our quick trip left a lasting impression on all of us.

Ireland is someplace I desperately want to get back to and visit again. I have all about our Ireland trip and itinerary on Staying Blonde. Link in bio. #happysaintpatricksday #stpatricksday #happystpattysday #ireland ##kilkenny #dublin #travelireland

We remodeled my daughter’s room and her one ask was to have wisteria hanging from the ceiling. I loved the idea, but I didn’t love the idea of nailing or drilling holes into the ceiling. To avoid damaging the ceiling, we came up with the idea of making a lightweight trellis and attaching it to the ceiling with Velcro Command Strips. We love how this DIY wisteria project turned out, and she loves sleeping below a canopy of wisteria. I have the full set of directions and supply list in the link in my bio. #diydecor #girlsroommakeover #girlsroom #girlroomdecor #wisteria #wisteriaflowers #wisteriahysteria

I’ve waited a year to post this project because I wanted to make sure it held up, and guess what? It did! The Wisteria Wonderland looks just as wonderful as the day we made it. The command strips held it in place and it has not budged. I really love how this project turned out. We are contemplating expanding and adding more. What do you think? I have the full tutorial and supply list up on Staying Blonde right now.

Happy Wednesday! This may not be a spring dress, but it’s a super cute two-piece, mini-skirt combo that kind of makes me want to skip spring and go straight to summer. It’s flattering, is made of a great thick material and is super comfortable. I believe it’s on sale right at @target if you are a red card member.

It also comes in mint green and white, but I thought the black would be the most versatile. I have it linked in my stories and on my LTK. Link in bio. #springstyle #springfashion #summerstyle #summerfashion #fashionover40 #targetstyle #targetfinds #ltkfindsunder50 @shop.ltk https://liketk.it/585NY

Shopping for spring and summer dresses is usually a surefire way to get me out of my winter funk, and I have been doing a lot of it recently.

I thought I would show off one of my favorite dresses that I found. I love that it’s overalls and a dress! So fricken cute and comfy! You’ll definitely see me wearing this a lot once the weather warms up and stays warm. I have a link to this dress and others in my bio and on my LTK. #springdress #springdresses #summerdresses👗 #amazonfinds #overalldress @shop.ltk #ltkspring https://liketk.it/57Ttm

Italy and a gelato - Yes, Please! Only a couple more months and Italy will be warm enough for beach days like this again!

I loved our time in Cinque Terre. I would always recommend staying a night or two in one of the five small villages instead of just visiting for a day trip. Doing so, you get to enjoy the beautiful scenery, beaches, and village life. We stayed in Vernazza, my favorite of the five small towns. Head over and check out my blog post on our perfect three day Cinque Terre itinerary, Link in bio #cinqueterre ##cinqueterreitaly #italy #spritztime #aperolspritz #vernazza #travelitaly #italytips #italiansummer #familytravel #europetravel

The mistake I made was thinking that we always need to purchase the Lightning Lane Multi-pass in order to enjoy our day at Disneyland.

For our most recent trip, we decided not to get the Lightning Lane Multi-passes, and believe or not, we still rode nearly everything we wanted to ride. Even better, we all felt more relaxed during this visit than we usually do. There is something said for not having to be on your phone scheduling rides. There’s also something said for not having a schedule at all. We truly enjoyed being able to just wander around, explore, and discover things we hadn’t discovered before. Yes, some lines were a bit tedious, but the majority of them seemed to go by fairly quick.

Now, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever splurge and get the lightning lane multipass. There are days that it comes in really handy. I’ve just learned that, especially if I want to save some money, I don’t need to get the passes for every day of our trip or every time we visit. I just posted on the blog about this realization and more tips on how to stay on a budget if you visit Disneyland.
