“Humor is a social lubricant that helps us get over some of the bad spots.” — Steve Allen

While we still travel to new places whenever we get the chance, there is just something magical about Napili Bay, on the west coast of Maui, that keeps drawing us back like the tides at sunset. Napili Bay is a little, unspoiled, corner of paradise, free of high-rise mega resorts, crowds, and the chaos from which we came to Hawaii to escape. Read the Article »

Want to shake up your Vegas itinerary? The Mob Museum is interactive, fascinating, and such a fun break from the casino chaos. You can grab tickets through the link in my bio! #mobmuseum #lasvegas #oldvegas #lasvegashistory #lasvegastips
Pumpkin bars are the unsung hero of holiday dessert tables. They are soft, spiced, and way too easy to “taste test” a few too many times.  Just a warning: if you make them too early, they might mysteriously disappear before the big day.
I have the full recipe plus the step-by-step directions linked in my bio. #pumpkinbars #pumpkinrecipes #thanksgivingdesserts #holidaybaking #holidaydesserts #easybaking
It’s officially Christmastime at Disneyland! It’s my favorite time of year to visit. I can’t wait to experience all the festivities and try all the holiday food next week. Who else is going?  #disneyland #disneylandchristmas #disneychristmasdecorations #disneychristmas
The Peppermill was always one of my go-to late-night spots in Las Vegas - especially when I was craving those cozy retro vibes. The food is delicious, the portions are huge, and it won’t break the bank. And the best part? They have three different happy hours throughout the week. Have you ever eaten at the Peppermill? #peppermill #peppermillvegas #lasvegas #lasvegasrestaurants #lasvegaseats #oldvegas
Do you love the retro glitz and glitter of old-school Vegas, or are you team sleek, chic, and ultra-modern?
I spent the weekend hopping between both, and honestly, each has its own kind of sparkle. Which do you prefer? #lasvegas #oldvegas #vegashotels
Seriously, they shouldn’t be surprised when people want to carry on their bags. People usually have baggage when they travel - no reason to get snippy about it. 🤦‍♀️ #southwestairlines #airtravel #baggagefees #traveling
Would you pay extra for premium economy? 
Since I was flying solo, I figured why not give it a try! This was just one leg of a 29-hour travel day, so for a 12-hour flight, the extra legroom and comfy seat were totally worth it. 
A couple of downsides though.  One of my tray was broken,  and they ran out of chicken before they got to me. But honestly, the beef was pretty good, so no major complaints there - especially since I got some good rest, which is a rarity for me when I fly. #premiumeconomy #upgrade #isitworthit #flightreview #airlinereview #traveltips #travelexperience #cathaypacific
Our arches do double duty all season long! These are the same ones we use for our Halloween tunnel. We just tuck away the spooky decor, add some festive lights, and voilà…instant Candy Cane Lane.

If you travel a lot (or know someone who does), you need this backpack!

I finally upgraded my old travel backpack to the Zephyr from @blackvoyage, and honestly, I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner. 

It fits so much more, has a spot for everything, and best of all... my shoulders and back aren’t screaming at me after a travel day.

One last Halloween pic for the feed! It’s a rare moment when I get a family photo that’s officially “teen approved” for the ’gram. 

If you have teens, you know what I’m talking about! Over the past few months, you might’ve noticed it’s been mostly just me showing up here. It turns out my Instagram got a little lonelier as my kids got a little pickier about being featured (unless it’s a paid shoot, of course 😂).

So here’s a family photo while I can still get one, because who knows when that’ll happen again! #momlifebelike #momofteens #happyhalloween
