Last month, my entire family made our way up to Sea Island, Georgia, for an incredible family vacation. We’ve been several times before, but this time was especially fun because all of the cousins got to hang out and spend some quality time together. Plus, Four is finally old enough to appreciate trips like this. Even though they say that traveling with toddlers is a trip, not a vacation, I…
Last week, I traveled with the kids to Sea Island, Georgia for a fun family vacation. I don’t care where you go, getting to spend quality time with your family and seeing your kids make memories together is actual heaven on earth — although Sea Island was pretty great too. ;) I’m planning to put together a quick recap of our trip for the blog… but that’s not what this…
Travel has always been something that’s important to me. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to visit a lot of really amazing places in my life, and there are a ton still on my bucket list! Some of these trips were work-related, while others were trips that I got to take with friends. With vacation season in full effect and summer right around the corner, I thought it might be fun to do…
It wasn’t until I traveled with my own kids that I really understood the fear parents have of traveling with children. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been on many flights with screaming children, but there’s something truly terrifying when it’s your OWN KIDS doing the screaming. We’ve traveled a few times now with the kids, and I feel like I’ve picked up on a few tricks to help keep them…
A few months ago, I flew to Austin and then Houston on JSX. I posted a couple of pics on Instagram, and so many people thought I was flying private. (I WISH!) Since then, I feel like I get asked for the name of this airline DAILY! And I have a rule that once a question truly becomes that frequent, it’s time to turn it into a blog post! So…
I’ve been visiting Highlands, NC for years but have never stayed anywhere in the neighboring town of Cashiers (just a few miles down the road). But when I heard how the company that recently acquired High Hampton Inn brought in the team behind Blackberry farm to help with renovations and reimagine the resort, I knew I had to add this spot to the top of our list. Although I’ve never personally been…
Hello from Dallas! I’m so sad my Mexico trip is over (we got back on Sunday), but it’s nice to be back in the swing of things. San Miguel is a place that’s been on my bucket list forever, and it did not disappoint. We spent 5 days there (including travel days) and I felt like it was the perfect amount of time to soak in all of the beautiful…
I’ve been going to Aspen since I was a kid with my family and now with Duncan and Four, so I’ve definitely come to learn which restaurants are great in the cozy ski town. Even though Aspen is considered a “small town,” it actually has some really great places to eat and shop. Downtown Aspen is one of my favorite places ever! Through the years, I’ve seen some shops and…
It feels kind of funny writing a blog post on beach essentials when I’m currently packing for our trip to Aspen tomorrow, but I’ve had so many of you message me asking for some cute pieces that you can buy for an upcoming beach trip. I actually love going to the beach this time of year because you can escape the cold weather (okay it’s currently 72 in Dallas so…
I feel like this post has been a long time coming! If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen the review I did of my two go-to carry-on totes: the MZ Wallace Large Metro Tote Deluxe and the Dagne Dover Landon Carryall Bag. I wanted to also write a blog post about the two bags since so many of you reached out asking me to compare the two! I’ll start the post by saying…
You might have seen or followed along on Instagram, but I wanted to share a little more about our trip this past weekend to The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs! I’ve gotten a few questions and I’d love to have a place where I can send people and house some images of our experience! I saved my stories from the weekend to a highlight but I think those expire after a…
Outfit Details: Animal Print Sweater (wearing size xs) // Double Pocket Drop Jeans (wearing size 25) //Superstar Low Top Sneaker (fits true to size) // 22-Inch Rolling Spinner Carry-On Raise your hand if you’re traveling this holiday season?! Seems like all I ever do anymore is head to the airport, get on a plane, spend a little time somewhere and then do it all over again LOL! Not complaining, it can…
I’m so excited to finally be sitting down to write this blog post. I mean it when I saw that our most recent trip to Maine over Labor Day weekend was probably one of my top 5 favorite trips I’ve ever taken! I went back and forth on how to structure this blog post, but I think the best way is to summarize everything that we did, covering our favorites…
I’ve done a good deal of traveling in the last five years and have written a lot about it, but somehow I’ve never talked about how to make an abroad flight more enjoyable. Because let’s be honest, most long international flights are kinda the worst – don’t you think?! Believe it or not, there are some things you can do to make your flight more comfortable and even make the…
Living away from my family means one thing: I’m always traveling for the holidays. I think it’s pretty normal and something a lot of us suffer through together ha! The holidays always have such a bad stigma for traveling, and between delays, the crowds, and the weather, it can honestly be a nightmare. BUT! This year, I’m trying really really hard to go into in a more positive mindset. It’s…
Spur of the moment trips are what weekends are made for & my trip with #mysteryboy to Denver last weekend is just what I needed – a break from the Texas heat/humidity and a real taste of fall. I love Denver because it has so many quirky places to explore & the fact that it’s surrounded by mountains is a MAJOR plus. The short flight from Dallas is pretty great…
I thought it might be fun to quickly throw together a post on what I packed for Denver this past weekend. It was a super spontaneous trip – we booked it on Thursday! But it was one of the most fun weekend trips I’ve ever been on! I’m obsessed with Denver and can’t wait to go back! I’m also very proud to say that I packed everything in a carry-on.…
Austin is one of my favorite places in the world. I went to college in Austin at UT and ever since I left, I’ve missed it so much. Now that my boyfriend’s family lives there, I’ve been heading back more often so I’m loving that! IT just has that big city-little city feel and there are so many good places to eat, drink, and be outside. Plus it’s just a…
