How to Take a Road Trip While Pregnant

We found that planning a road trip was more involved than our travel plans normally are since we couldn’t just sit back and choose our in-flight entertainment, but that with my being pregnant 11 weeks pregnant on our trip, there were also extra considerations to make. If you’re planning a road trip while pregnant, these are things you should know ahead of time.

Girls’ Trip: Our 6-Day Ireland Itinerary

In October 2019, I met up with my friends Sara and Liz for an epic girls’ trip that would take us all over Ireland in just under a week. While there were some things we planned in advance, like our trip to the Cliffs of Moher, we planned a lot of our activities the night before, so we could determine the next day based on how we were feeling. We crammed A LOT of traveling around the country into less than a week, but it gave us a great view of different parts of the country. I know that I can’t wait to go back!

How to Use Google Flights’ Explore Tool

The way everyone uses Google Flights is not the way I make the most of it. I have talked about the $375 roundtrip tickets that Tyler and I booked to Copenhagen, a place we had not previously considered going and where we had one of the best dining experiences ever, but we didn’t just randomly search “Copenhagen” with some dates and hope for the best; we used the Google Flights' Explore tool.

36 Hours in San Francisco, California

If you’re short on time in San Fran, these are your must-dos and must-eats!

Spotlight: Grady Goat Yoga

There are many wonderful day trips from Tampa, but I have to say the GOAT is a trip to Grady Goat Farm for some Grady Goat Yoga. ;) Located about 25 minutes from downtown Tampa, this is a must-do activity for anyone who even remotely likes yoga or baby animals.

That Time When… We Got Free FC Barcelona Tickets

I came into the downtown Tampa office on a seemingly normal Wednesday morning and found that our office Slack channel was blowing up because, since Rakuten is currently an FCB sponsor, we had some tickets up for grabs for the game. I quickly texted my husband Tyler to see if he wanted to go - after all, our club seats would include dinner and drinks, but it did mean leaving work early and driving to Miami in just a few hours.

Where to Eat in Charleston, South Carolina

With two visits to the Holy City just this year, I’ve spent a lot of time researching great food in the area - and now that I’ve returned from Charleston for the second time, I can confirm that these places are some awesome options that won’t break the bank. If you find yourself in the city, I would recommend eating...
