@evite Signup Sheets are seriously the best #momhack for the school year. I love that they are completely free, super easy to use, and they even have automatic reminders. They are a perfect and streamlined way to plan any school or sports activity or event. It’s seriously the best way to create a signup sheet. I have a link to them in my bio. #momhacks #evitesignupsheets #momlife #momlifebelike #schoollife #momofteensandtweens #momofteens #busymomlife #momhack #momoftwokids #momofboth #evite @evite

If you visit Ireland, do yourself a favor and book a stay at @mountjulietestate . It’s an Autograph Collection hotel by Marriott and is one of the most beautiful and relaxing places we’ve ever stayed. It seriously felt like we stepped into an episode of Bridgerton. The grounds are breathtaking and there is so much to do for the entire family.
It’s located in County Kilkenny just about 20 minutes outside of the city of Kilkenny. I have a full blog post all about our stay that you can find in the link in my bio. #luxuryhotels #marriothotel #marriottbonvoy #mountjulietestate #mountjuliet #kilkenny #irelandtravel #ireland #irelandhotels #autographcollection #luxuryhotel #traveltips

I’ve realized that I don’t romanticize my life as much as I used to when I was younger. That needs to change. Life is much more fun when you start romanticizing the little things.
It was easy to romanticize every moment of our stay at the Mount Juliet Estate in Ireland. The entire place feels like you stepped into an episode of Bridgerton. I have a new blog post up now diving more into our stay at this enchanting place. I also linked my dress on my LTK as well.

I soaked up so much sun this summer! I love it, but my skin doesn’t necessarily love it. I love @herbalfacefood because it works the best at healing my skin and reversing damage. It is 100% plant powered, organic, and it’s been leaving my skin looking and feeling fantastic.
Herbal Face food products are great because they are 💯 natural and work at the cellular level. . I have a link to all of their products in my bio.

I would love to be off traveling as much as social media makes it look like I am. I post the majority of my travel content at home in-between trips and “real” life. I’m usually decent about getting my stories and photos out pretty quickly, but it takes me some time to produce longer reels and blog posts. On the plus side, taking some time to post about our travels gives me the opportunity to relive them all again. ❤️ Do you post during your trips or when you get home? #wanderlust #greecetravel #truth #reallife #realitycheck #familytravel #europetravel #acropolis #athens #realmom #travelblogging #honest

I will forever dream of this view. I actually dreamt about it last night, so I thought that was my sign to post this today.
Santorini is just breathtaking . This particular view is from @218degreesoia restaurant in Oia. The food was so yummy, and the view so beautiful, that we ate there twice during our visit. My kids are pretty picky, so when we find a place we all like we don’t shy away from going back. Do you ever visit places or eat at restaurants more than once when you travel? #beautifuldestinations #beautifulview #santorini #oia #greece #wanderlust #foreveryoung #travelgreece #oiasantorini #beautifulviews

Do you ever purchase the extra legroom? We had to fly this past weekend and I instantly regretted not getting the extra legroom. I bought it for the first time this summer on our long-haul flights to Europe with American Airlines, and honestly, it was worth every penny. We are a tall family, so I found that it’s worth spending a little extra to not have our knees mushed into the seats in front of us - especially on a long flight. Unfortunately, now I might be spoiled because I really missed that extra space on our flights this weekend. On the other hand, have you ever bought it and found that it wasn’t worth it? #flying #familytravel #flights #travelingwithkids #maincabinextra

It took me a few trips, but I finally learned that it’s all about balance when traveling with kids. A simple thing like changing our priority from seeing things to doing things made a world of difference. We still saw a lot, but we did a lot more. I also want to point that out doing things doesn’t only mean planned activities. Doing things also includes activities like going to the beach, hiking, or even getting ice cream. I have this and more tips that I’ve learned about traveling with kids up on my blog. Do you tend to do or see when you travel? #traveltipsandtricks #familytravel #travelwithkids #europetravel #europewithkids #europesummer #traveltips #greecetravel #italytravel

One of the best things about traveling is being able to disconnect. It was so nice being away from it all, no news, no calls, no social media, and it was wonderful. Do you disconnect when you travel? #traveling #ireland #nodrama #travelireland #irelandtravel #europesummer #familytravel #europetravel

I can’t believe that I only booked three days in Ireland! As soon as we landed, we knew that we weren’t going to want to leave. We fit as much as we could in our short amount of time and loved every minute of it. I have our full three day itinerary up on Staying Blonde right now.

Did we go to Ireland? Oh yeah, we did. It was wonderful! I can’t believe that I’ve been home for several weeks and haven’t posted any photos from Ireland. I am struggling with the whole “if you didn’t post it, did it actually happen?” phenomenon.
The reality is life has been busy beginning the day we got back from our travels. We’ve had a few personal issues arise, and the beginning of the school year is always quite busy. If you know me, you know that I am an IEP mom with two kids on IEPs. Those alone tend to swallow up the lion’s share of my time.
Finally I’ve found some time to sit with my thoughts, my notes, and a bit of time to write a blog post on our short but very memorable time in Ireland.
