Growing up, I have always been fascinated with MacKenzie-Childs. I was familiar with the popular Courtly Check collection and loved the classic black and white pattern. Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to visit the beautiful MacKenzie-Childs headquarters. This was my first trip to Aurora, New York and I can not wait to go back. ...
As we finalize our summer plans, I wanted to share with you some of our favorite destinations from the past year. Between family vacations and work trips, our summer calendar is going to be quite full. We always look forward to sharing travel content with you, so stay tuned for more updated travel guides coming soon! ...
Over Spring Break, a few of my favorite teachers and I went to Denver for a little girls trip. We had so much fun laughing, catching up and sharing stories from when we all worked together. Those kinds of trips are not only fun, but good for the soul am I right? ...
A few weeks ago Austin and I traveled to LA. It seems like we have been there a lot these past few months. Having family in the area and the occasional work project, it makes for a fun trip no matter what. After sharing our Weekend Guide in LA, we wanted to share something a little more in depth with more options than the small list we provided here. ...
Growing up in Southern California had it's perks. Beautiful weather, family nearby and of course my good ol' pal, Mickey Mouse. If you've followed my blog for a while, you know we visit California quite often. I travel to LA for work occasionally or we will schedule trips to visit family. You may remember that my mom was also a school teacher for several years. When I was young, I remember her students in California would all pitch-in to get her season passes to Disneyland. (Was that one heck of a room mom or what?) With Disney practically in our backyard, it was easy for us to visit frequently. ...
Happy New Year! After taking a few days off, I am back and anxious to get in the swing of things. With new year goals fresh on my mind, I wanted to take a moment and reflect on some of my favorite memories of 2016. It was an exciting year of travel, new beginnings, and challenges. I look forward to what 2017 will bring! ...
Last month, Austin and I got to travel to Hot Springs, Virginia to stay at the beautiful Omni Homestead Resort for their 250th Anniversary. You guys, this property is not only beautiful but it's an amazing experience (and America's oldest resort)!
Since posting on instagram and snapchat, several of you have emailed us with questions regarding this resort. I wanted to share a little recap with you and some tips we found helpful for planning our stay at The Omni Homestead Resort. ...
This may surprise you, but I love packing. There's just something about organizing and planning my outfits that gives me a sense of relief and helps me stay sane during the stress of traveling. Austin, on the other hand, takes more of a "last minute" approach. Opposites attract, right? This Christmas, Austin and I are heading to stay with his family on Christmas Eve, then going to stay with my family for Christmas dinner. Next week, my side of the family are heading to California to surprise my Grandfather for his birthday. He is turning 80 (!) and we are so excited to fly out and celebrate him. ...
Coffee is easily one of my favorite ways to start my morning. There's just something about starting my day off with a hot cup of joe, that motivates me to get things done. This past weekend I made a trip up to New York City with my sister-in-law, Megan, and being the coffee lovers that we are, we wanted to visit as many trendy coffee shops as possible. ...
