An African Safari has always been high on my bucket-list. Africa isn't exactly right down the road, so I know that it might be a while before the family makes…
We had always wanted to take an epic, cross-country, family road trip. Unfortunately, there was always some reason we didn't plan one. We had other obligations or some other lame…
Who's ready for an adventure this summer? I sure as heck know that we are! We've been chomping at the bit to get out and start traveling again. Our biggest…
I used to think that I couldn’t possibly ever vacation to the same place twice -- there are just too many other destinations in the world to see and experience. …
While much of the Bay area heads up to Lake Tahoe each winter, our family opts to spend our time in the snow a little farther south in beautiful Yosemite.…
We usually don’t splurge on souvenirs when we go to Disney. We don’t need all that extra stuff, and those little knick knacks start to add up. The most we…
During one of our recent visits to Disneyland I stumbled upon an adorable little shop in Downtown Disney. The Disney Dress Shop is a boutique for adults who still like…
Saying that Disneyland can sometimes get crowded is an understatement. Disneyland can get downright packed. If you don't have a plan, it can turn into a stressful experience pretty fast. …
This is why I can’t have nice things. Who wants to take bets on how long it lasts? Btw, I found mine at Costco, but I also have it linked online. Comment Pool and I will DM you the link.

Packing for Peru is a little different than packing for most trips.
You’ll likely experience everything from cool mountain mornings to hot, humid days in the Amazon, so packing smart makes all the difference.
We spent two weeks exploring Peru with nothing but carry-ons, and this is exactly what worked for us (plus a few things I’d leave at home next time).

The town most travelers rush through ended up being one of our favorite places in Peru. 🇵🇪
Most people only spend a few hours in Ollantaytambo before catching the train to Machu Picchu, but this charming town deserves so much more.
As the last living Inca city, Ollantaytambo is the only town in Peru where people still live within the original Inca street layout. Walking its cobblestone streets feels like stepping back in time.
We spent our first three nights here after flying into Cusco, and it was the perfect place to acclimate while exploring the Sacred Valley. We wandered the ancient streets, explored the incredible Inca ruins, and took day trips to Moray, the Maras Salt Mines, and Chinchero.
If you’re planning a trip to Peru, don’t make Ollantaytambo just a stop on the way to Machu Picchu.
I’ve shared more about our stay in Ollantaytambo, our complete 14-day Peru itinerary, and 14 Peru travel tips I wish I’d known before visiting over at Staying Blonde. Links in bio. #ollantaytambo #perutravel #perutraveltips #machupicchu #traveltips

So. Much. Drama. 😂 These are my days now… and somehow I wonder why I can’t get anything done. #bulldogpuppy #englishbulldogpuppy #englishbulldog #dogmomlife
Just wanted to give a quick Spud update! We are absolutely over the moon watching him grow into such a happy, healthy guy… especially since it was so touch and go in the beginning.
I do have to laugh though. We’ve been celebrating his first ball finally dropping… only so we can eventually schedule having it taken away. 😆 always an adventure. #update #englishbulldogpuppy #bulldogpuppy #bulldog #dogmomlife🐾
