Let’s talk travel gear! You know, the must-haves you refuse to leave home without.
For me? My trusty belt bag, a perfectly organized pill case, and noise-canceling headphones that have saved my sanity more times than I can count.
These are just a few of my tried-and-true travel essentials. I’ve rounded up all my go-to gear over on StayingBlonde.

Happy Monday!
Just a few pics from the weekend, which was gloriously uneventful—which really means I cleaned, organized, washed the car, grilled, ran errands, relaxed… and just enjoyed being home with zero plans.
I’ve come to love these no-plan weekends. They’re the perfect mix of catching up and slowing down. How was your weekend? #happymonday #momlife #momlifebestlife #littleredcorvette

Have you ever tried Vietnamese coffee? It’s one of my all-time favorite caffeine fixes. This coffee is rich, bold, and sweet, thanks to the delightful combination of strong black coffee and condensed milk. I had my very first cup in Vietnam, so I was thrilled to find it at Disney’s California Adventure. It did not disappoint! If you’re in the park and need a little pick-me-up, I highly recommend giving it a try. #vietnamesecoffee #disneyland #disneylandcalifornia #disneyscaliforniaadventure #disneyfood #disneyeats #disneytips #disneymom

Riding the vintage vehicles down Main Street feels extra special when your ride doubles as a mini Disney history lesson.
The cast members are truly a treasure trove of fun facts and Disney history. Do you love learning about the history of the places you visit? #disneyland #disneylandcalifornia #disneycastmembers #disneylandhistory #mainstreetusa #disneymom

Happy Mother’s Day! I’m feeling extra lucky to be spending the weekend at Disneyland.
Audrey was here this week with her school band, and we came to cheer her on as they performed at Disney’s California Adventure! Such an unforgettable experience—they were incredible!
Here are a few snaps from the weekend. Seriously, Best Mother’s Day ever! ❤️ #happymothersday #happymothersday❤️ #disneyland #disneymom #luckymommy

Do you ever feel like a braver, slightly wilder version of yourself when you travel?
I’m scared of the open sea. Claustrophobic too. Yet I didn’t think twice about leaping off a boat and swimming into a sea cave along the Amalfi coast.
Sure, there was a mini panic moment (okay, a big one that you would’ve seen had I let the clip keep rolling), but it turned into a memory I’ll never forget—and honestly, I’d probably do it all over again.
Travel me makes completely different decisions than day-to-day me… but somehow, these decisions turn into some of the best memories and stories.
Do you become someone else when you travel? #amalficoast #wanderlust #italytravels #travelbug #traveler #familytravel

Happy May! And to all the parents who have kids in school — welcome to Maycember!
You know, that magical time of year when the pressure is on to cram every single school event, recital , field trip, and project into one month.
Hang in there mamas and dads. The finish line is just around the corner! #maycember #mayday #momlife #momlifebelike #momofteens #pressure

When do you start wearing white? Do you wait for Memorial Day or do you throw that old rule out the window?
I love white, and honestly, I wear it as much as I can throughout the year.
I just got this adorable vest and shorts outfit and I absolutely can’t wait to wear it. It’s so comfortable, cute, and perfect for summer. I have it linked on my LTK and in my stories.

I’ve always given the plane a double tap for good luck…but lately, I’ve been tapping the hell out of these planes to get all the luck we can get!
I’ve always had a bit of travel anxiety, but recently? It seems to be next level.
Anyone else get travel anxiety? Do you tap the plane for good luck too? #flying #airtravel #wanderlust #traveling #travelanxiety #southwestairlines

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
