Birthdays have looked much different this past year and with Austin's birthday (today!), I wanted to celebrate him in a way that was safe, yet allowed us to feel like we were on an actual vacation. I surprised him with a Dallas staycation over the weekend and we had the best time. ...
We went to Austin a few weeks ago and had the best time exploring the city. Being in Dallas, we aren't too far away from Austin...I don't know why we don't go more often. It's a great place for a girl's trip, weekend getaway with your partner or family. We should definitely go there more! ...
This post has been a long time coming, but I figured it'd be more helpful to write everything out vs share in stories. I know a lot of people travel to be with family and friends over the next couple of months with Spring Break and Summer, so if that happens to be you - and it's your first time flying with a baby - I truly hope sharing what Aus and I learned in our experience is helpful. ...
We just got back from Vegas for our first official trip post-George and though we talked about him probably every 10 minutes, it was truly so fun to get away and just have time for Austin and I. We didn't even bring our laptops -- we literally unplugged the whole weekend from work and it was amazing. If you are a workaholic -- I suggest unplugging every now and then. So good for mental health. ...
It's no secret I love a good monogram, especially when it's on my luggage or travel accessories. The Daily Edited (the brand who also makes my painted phone case) recently just launched their Black Suitcase. And best of all? It can be personalized with your name or monogram. ...
If you are like me, you love all things organization. Maybe it's because I was a teacher for 6 years or I just love the idea of things all having a place — either way, I get excited to be organized. Now that doesn't mean I'm always organized per se, but I like to have the tools when needed.
I posted this makeup case on Instagram last month and got an overwhelming response of organizers seeking more tips and tricks when it came to this area. Several of you (528 to be exact) also bought one of these for yourself and mentioned how you wanted more ideas for affordable travel organizers to store makeup, skincare and makeup brushes. ...
Hello from Palm Springs! Austin and I are here on a little babymoon/last Valentine's Day before the baby. It has been super chill and very relaxing, to say the least, which is everything we wanted in a babymoon. We are also getting to see my family next week in Orange County, which will be a nice addition to the trip as well. ...
Hello from London! If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I have had a serious faux fur addiction while being here. I mean, with this cold weather you need to do all you can to stay warm! I picked up this Leopard Print Faux Fur Coat from Nordstrom before we left. It is definitely a bit out there for me, but I just love the print and it's incredibly soft and warm. ...
Here at The Teacher Diva, we strive to make a conscious effort in giving back to the community. And taking part in social good, whether during the holiday season or year round, is something that is more attainable than you may think. It does not necessarily only come in the shape of monetary donations. Below are a few ways to use your family, company or group of friends to give back to the community both locally and abroad, during the holidays and always. Feel free to drop a comment below with your favorite organization so others can check it out as well. Happy Holidays! ...
When it comes to brunch, Dallas doesn't mess around. From chicken and waffles to a decked out mimosa bar, I've got you covered. This is by far one of the most asked questions I get from TTD readers when they are coming to visit the DFW area. With that, I am pleased to present you with a list of my top picks for a Dallas brunch. Cheers! ...
