Is anyone else’s family looking and feeling more like a boorish group of cave dwellers than a modern day family these days? I think we're seriously caving into caveman mode…
We wanted to do something special for our puppy’s first birthday. My daughter came up with idea for baking her a birthday cake. The nice thing about Golden Retrievers is that…

Seeing how “batty” 2020 has been, it seems only fitting to fill our home with bats this Halloween. I used to cut my own bats out of foam paper sheets, but…
Easy Old Fashion Apple crisp is one of those desserts that seems to signal the start of fall. I can't think of a better aroma coming from the oven that…
Can we all agree that everything just kind of sucks right now? Seriously. There seems to be no good answers for anything at the moment. I learned a new term yesterday. Doomscroller.…
Fresh strawberry pie is my favorite spring and summer pie recipe. My grandma gave me this strawberry pie recipe many years ago. Unsurprisingly, because Grandmas rock, it is my go-to…
And just like that, I bought two new dresses! 🤦♀️ It’s just way too easy to click that “buy now” button.
I told myself that this year I was going to be good and not buy any more spring and summer dresses, but as you can see, that’s not working out so well. These two are just too cute, and better yet, they are both under $50! I have them linked on my @shop.ltk and in my stories. #springdresses #summerdress #summerdresses👗 #amazonfind #amazonfashionfinds #fashionover40 #styleover40 #whatiweartoday https://liketk.it/5bD6D

I’d go back to each of these places in a heartbeat. Not a day goes by that I don’t dream about them. Each one holds beautiful memories—and a piece of me. #greece #greecetravel #italy #italytravel #ireland #irelandtravel #utah #utahtravel #yellowstone #yellowstonenationalpark #wanderlust #seetheworld
We had so many delicious meals on Maui and I just wanted to share some of our favorites. I could totally go for one of those Açaí bowls or that Honolua breakfast right about now- my Rice Krispies aren’t cutting it this morning. I have the full list of places we ate and all the things we did in y “Maui Family Travel Guide” on Staying Blonde.

Maui has it all—relaxation and adventure. From the dreamiest beaches to must-try local eats, I’ve rounded up our favorite spots to stay, play, and explore on the Valley Isle.

Tucked just a few miles north of Kapalua, this dreamy little gem is actually labeled “Magical Enchanted Forest” on Google Maps—and believe me, it lives up to the name.
This little slice of magic is part of the Honolua Bay Access Trail (only about half a mile round-trip). The trail winds through a canopy of towering trees, wild vines, and sunlight so dreamy it feels like a real-life fairytale.

I think I need a jeep! Although, I don’t know if it’s the Jeep itself that makes me so happy, or if it’s that I’m driving the Jeep in Hawaii. I have a feeling that it may be a combination of both. 😂 #jeep #hawaii #vacationmode #islandvibes #wanderlust
Aloha! When it comes to the beach, are you a get in and ride the wave type, or are you more of a lay in the sand and soak in the sun? For me, I get in the water as long as the water is clear, warm, and I can see what’s coming at me. The beach at Napili Bay checks all of these boxes. The Napili area is my favorite spot on Maui. I love that it’s super laid back and that there are no high-rises in sight. It’s been a few years since we’ve last visited and it feels so good to finally be back in this little corner of the world.
I also have my swimsuit linked on my LTK and in my stories. It’s hard to find one-piece suits that I like, so I was thrilled to find this little ray of sunshine. @shop.ltk #swimsuit #travelhawaii #cupshe #napilibay #maui #mauitravel #springbreak #fashionover40 https://liketk.it/5awBH

It’s finally spring break! I feel like we are one of the last school districts in the country to have our spring break. Honestly, it couldn’t get here fast enough.

Lemon sorbet is so easy to make. All you need is: •1 cup of lemon juice, •2 tbls of lemon rind, •1 cup of water, •1 cup of sugar. I use my ice cream maker, but you are able to make this even without one. I have the full recipe at stayingblonde.com.

If I can’t be on the Amalfi coast, why can’t I have the next best thing? This easy lemon sorbet takes me back with every bite. Don’t worry if you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can put the entire mixture into a freezer safe container and freeze for 2 to 3 hours, mixing it every 30 minutes. I have the full recipe and instructions at Stayingblonde. Link in my bio. #lemonsorbet #easyrecipes #amalficoast #lemon #lemons #travelfood #italyfood #sorbet #lemonsorbetrecipe
