Two years ago today, I was traveling with Tyler and his parents to Edinburgh. We were stoked to be spending our holidays in Scotland, after spending the Christmas before in Belgium. We arrived at Gatwick early in the morning on December 22 and had brunch at Giraffe before getting on the train to Edinburgh…

Highlights from Brussels, Belgium

Dec 13, 2021
Katie
In 2018, after poking around in Google Flights’ Explore Tool, I found a great deal on flights that would have us spending Christmas in Brussels. It worked out great because we already had the time off from work, and once our parents accepted that we were not coming home for the holidays, we could make our way to Belgium stress-free. These were the best parts...

Dreaming of Our Next Vacation

Nov 23, 2021

Last weekend, Tyler turned to me and said, "We need a vacation." I feel that. It's been hard to accept that travel isn't as easy as it used to be for us, for several reasons. But that doesn't mean it can't be done - it just means we need to adapt it for our current phase of life. You know, the one where we're raising a kid and trying to get through a global pandemic. 😅

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.

Spotlight: Gallagher’s Pumpkins and Christmas Trees

Oct 18, 2021

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.
