Mar 7, 2022
Katie
ing home - which leaves us with the last big hurdle: packing. Historically, I would put a few outfits in my AWAY bag, throw on my coat (I’m not wasting suitcase space on it)n and hit the road, but now that we have a toddler in tow, we have to be much more intentional with our packing. After doing a ton of research, here are the toddler-specific items we’re bringing along...

Katie
Over the years I lived in Gainesville, I was spoiled by Midnight Cookies’ big, warm cookies with decadent flavors, and Crumbl brought just that thing back into my life.

So I fired up Google Flights and started playing with the dates.

Solo Trip Recap: Osprey and Venice, Florida

Katie
Had I heard of Osprey before? No. But considering the price came out to under $100 per night, I figured it was worth exploring, especially because it was close to Sarasota, one of my first thoughts on where I’d go, as well as right next to Venice, which I’ve only heard good things about. Early Friday afternoon, I gassed up the car and headed south. Here’s what I did...

Katie
When I last talked about planning for my friend Chelsea’s bachelorette party in Austin, Texas, the only thing we really had planned was the location! Since my bachelorette party was on a cruise (which I’d highly recommend), I didn’t realize all that goes into planning the different stays and activities. Now, these are the excursions we have planned...
