Tampa Bay Area Holiday Bars
Happy Thanksgiving to all! While you are enjoying indulging in your favorite holiday foods its also time to start thinking about all the holiday activities coming up here in Tampa.

Preparing for Our Newborn’s Passport – Before She’s Born
I feel as if I officially hit countdown mode for our trip to Japan in the spring and realized all that we have left to do for it! I woke up at 4am and realized we’re getting close to crunch time as far as getting our newborn’s passport. Unfortunately, it’s not necessarily something I can move on immediately, seeing as she hasn’t been born yet…
Chicago Itinerary Highlights
Chicago has been on my bucket list for a while. I was actually supposed to go in July of 2020 to see the Rays play the Cubs, however a global pandemic and no fans at MLB games put a stop to that trip.

Must-Visit: Sweetfields Farm in the Fall
Last year, I also went to Sweetfields Farm for their fall season, when they trade in their sunflower maze for a corn maze, and it reminded me what a great spot it is for a visit this time of year too. When Sara asked if I was interested in going out for some Florida fall fun, I said yes! We went over the weekend, and we got lucky with some really nice weather the morning we were there...
My Must-Have Pregnancy Packing List
All that to be said, I have done a significant amount of travel across two different pregnancies, and I have curated a packing list that has served me well. However you’re traveling - car, plane, boat, etc. - here are my must-haves to bring along with you...
Hack for Getting Global Entry Interviews
I wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t already planning a trip for 2024. I am so excited to be planning my first European trip in over 5 years! And with that I was adamant about getting Global Entry.
