Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there!
This weekend was pure magic with my girl at Disneyland. It was just the two of us making memories and eating way too many treats. We came home today to the tastiest dinner with the boys, and my heart (and stomach) is oh, so full.
Motherhood is exhausting, beautiful , chaotic, emotional, and somehow the greatest adventure all at once. Today I’m feeling extra grateful for all the big moments, the little moments, and everything in between.
I hope you all got the chance to kick your feet up and soak in a little R&R today. #happymothersday❤️

This tzatziki ruined store-bought for me… and I’m not sad about it at all.
This tzatziki is fresh, ridiculously easy, and somehow tastes like a little trip to Greece every time.
Full recipe is on Staying Blonde, which I have linked in my bio.
Also, if Naxos is on your travel list, you have to try the Perivoli Farm Experience Wood Cooking Class. One of our absolute favorite memories from Greece. Also linked in my bio. #tzatziki #greekrecipes #easyrecipe #greecetravel #naxos

About last night… and honestly, I’m still not over it
I got the coolest invite from @broadwaysanjose_ to a special screening of Back to the Future which included a Q&A with co-creator and producer, Bob Gale.
Such a fun, nostalgic night, and now I’m counting down the days until Back to the Future: The Musical hits San Jose June 2–7!
I have a link to where you can grab your tickets in my bio!

IYKYK! 🙌
If you’ve ever grown out a short haircut, you know how good this moment feels! I am so excited that it’s finally long enough to tie back into a ponytail again!
After years of having long hair, I cut it into a short bob last December. I loved it at first… but wow, the grow-out phase has really humbled me. #bobhaircut #relatable #hairgrowthjourney #justforlaughs #momlifebelike

May the 4th be with you!
Spent the weekend sipping rosé at Skywalker Ranch (yes, it’s just as magical as it sounds) for @skywalkervineyards May Rosé event.
Felt like the perfect pics to share today! Are you a Star Wars Fan? #maythe4th #maythe4thbewithyou #skywalkerranch #maythefourthbewithyou #maythefourth

Wai’anapanapa State Park is hands down one of the most iconic stops on the Road to Hana. Once you see it, you’ll understand why.
This was a total bucket list moment for me. That black sand beach against the bright turquoise water? Even more stunning in real life.
Just a heads up, this is one stop you have to plan ahead for. Reservations are required and they don’t offer same-day entry, so be sure to book in advance!
It’s one of those places that feels a little wild, a little magical, and completely unforgettable.
Save this for your Maui itinerary. You won’t want to miss it. You can find more unforgettable and must see stops along the Road to Hana over on the blog. Link in bio. #blacksandbeach #blacksandbeachmaui #waianapanapa #roadtohana #mauitravel

Sorry, family. 😂 I mean, at 51 and 49 you’d think they would know us by now. Do you turn into a social butterfly when you travel? #cousinfun #traveling #funny #family #relatable

If Maui is on your calendar, go ahead and save this, especially if the Road to Hana is on your must-do list.
These stops are truly worth it, whether you’re traveling with kids or not. We’ve actually done the Road to Hana three times as a family, and each trip we made it a point to explore somewhere new (because let’s be honest… you can’t do it all in one day).
These are our absolute favorite, “wow-worthy” stops you won’t want to miss.
A little heads up: trying to cram everything into one day is nearly impossible. This drive takes some planning, and definitely an early start, unless you want to be navigating those winding roads back to your hotel after dark (trust me… you don’t).

Nine years ago, we met up in Mexico to celebrate my cousin, Amy’s 40th… and somewhere between the laughs and late nights, we thought, why not do this every year?
And just like that, our annual girls trip was born.
We made a promise to keep showing up, to pick a place and go, because life’s too short not to.
Happy Birthday, Amy! Where to next? 😉 #girlstrip #rivieramaya #traveladvice #takethetrip #dancingqueen

Have you ever swam at a black sand beach? Because this had been sitting on my bucket list for years… and this spring break, it finally happened. 🖤🌊
The black sand beach at Waiʻānapanapa State Park truly does not disappoint. The sand gets its deep black color from cooled lava rock, and the contrast against that unreal turquoise water? Absolutely stunning.
A few things I didn’t expect…
• The sand is softer than you’d think, not sharp at all, but those pebbles on the way in? Your feet will feel them.
• The water can be a little rough, but totally swimmable on a calm day (we got incredibly lucky and it was perfect)
• The whole area is filled with lava tubes, blowholes, and coastal trails that make it feel straight out of a movie
It’s one of those places that feels a little wild, a little magical, and completely unforgettable. Easily one of my favorite stops along the Road to Hana.
✔️ Pro tip: You need a reservation to enter the park, and time slots go fast, so plan ahead! They do not accept same-day reservations.
I have a few more Maui reels and blog content coming soon… I’m still sorting, editing, and realizing I filmed literally everything 😂
And somehow… I’m already on my next trip. I don’t usually book back-to-back travel, but this one just worked out that way, and I’m not even a little mad about it. #waianapanapa #blacksandbeach #mauitravel #roadtohana

If you’re heading to Maui and wondering where to eat, these are the spots we keep going back to and dream about after we leave.
Most of our favorites are on the west side of Maui (our favorite area), but a few are worth the drive.
👉 Save this for your trip, you’re going to want this list later. I also have all this list and a few more favorite spots over on the blog. Link in bio.
