Last week, I made my return to Las Vegas. While my priorities were a little different - I was not about to sacrifice sleep - I still had an excellent time. These were the best parts...
I woke up at 3:30 this morning so I could manage my morning routine, as well as finish packing my AWAY bag with my final must-bring: my Spectra breast pump. learned last year that road tripping while pregnant is no joke, and between our recent trip to San Francisco and this one, I've learned there are a lot of nuances to traveling with a breast pump as well. These are my recommendations.
I’m currently preparing to take my first work trip since February 2020, when I flew out for a work conference that I used as a jumping off point to visit both Scottsdale, Arizona, and several cities in Colorado, and I am figuring out just where I can sneak in some of my own fun. Here’s how you can make your own "bleisure" trip.
It seems like everyone I know has been enjoying fun fall activities, like corn mazes (you can find a great one at Sweetfields Farm) and pumpkin patches. After seeing Gallagher’s Pumpkins and Christmas Trees pop up a few times on social media, I told my husband that we needed to make a trip over. They’re family-owned and operated by the Gallagher family, who clearly takes pride in their tree and pumpkin patch. We went this past weekend, and it’s now clear why they’re so popular.
I glanced down at my phone, located next to my plate on the table because I’d been taking pictures of our food. Whelp, there was no getting out of this one. So I said yes, I did; he then explained that there was a woman who sincerely needed medical attention, just on the other side of the walled patio we were eating on, and could we please call 911 for her? So I did.
I haven’t been back to Texas since our trip to Dallas! My recent US-based travel has been mostly focused on road trips, like Asheville and Blue Ridge. That being said, I am now attending a bachelorette party in Summer 2022 in Austin, and I’m excited to do some more exploring in Texas! I’m also in need of recommendations...
We only booked flights to Copenhagen because we found an amazing deal on flights while I was playing around in Google Flights’ explore tool. For $375 roundtrip, how could we say no? Once those were booked, we did some research, bought an Away bag (I did, anyway), booked some great dining experiences, and had a wonderful time in Copenhagen on a budget.
At the beginning of the month, Tyler and I brought our son into the post office to submit his passport application. Since he’ll be coming with us on our trip to Ireland next March, we wanted to make sure he was all squared away on the international travel front (no more passport snafus for this family, thanks). While going through the process, we definitely learned some important things that are specific to getting a passport for a baby. Here’s what you need to know.
I have seen several posts on Instagram about the wonders of the Parkesdale Market, and I knew I needed to make the trip over there. Located in Plant City, Florida, the Parkesdale Farm Market has been drawing in visitors for decades. They have such a wide selection of local produce available, but they’re best known for their strawberries - especially their strawberry shortcake.
My “trick” for scoring cheap flights is making the most of Google Flights. I use their Explore tool, and folks - if you’re on there now, you’ll find plenty of cheap flights to Europe. Since we’re heading to Ireland in March (more on that here), it’s harder for us to pull the trigger on another trip. But that doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of these amazing flight prices available right now!
