Highlights from Vilamoura, Portugal

May 27, 2025
Katie
In May, we capitalized on the ultimate bleisure experience: a conference in Vilamoura, Portugal. With my flight and hotel covered, we booked Tyler’s $1,100 plane ticket (ouch), turning a work trip into a gorgeous escape on Portugal’s southern coast. We enjoyed soaking in the sun, the sand, and more glasses of wine than I can count. Here are the highlights...

Katie
Hello friends! March came and went - it felt like time passed much faster while we were “down under.” That being said, I have so, so much to share about our family trip to Australia. For starters: everything about our cruise! Was it relaxing? Sometimes. Was it fun? Absolutely. Did we see the Great Barrier Reef? Spoiler: we did. Here’s a recap of our seven days at sea on the Carnival Luminosa.

Highlights from Paris, France

Feb 19, 2025
Katie
Our time in Paris was definitely a whirlwind! Since we only had three days in the city, we had to make the most of it without fitting in too much - after all, a vacation away from the kids should be relaxing! I think this trip was a nice mix, and there were plenty of highlights. These are a few of my bests...

Planning Our Last-Minute Getaway to Paris, France

Jan 19, 2025
Katie
As I’ve always said, go where the cheap flights take you! So when $333 flights to Paris, France, popped up on Google Flights, it was an (almost) immediate yes. That’s exactly how Tyler and I found ourselves planning a last-minute trip - we’re going at the end of the month! We were able to quickly coordinate dog and childcare, so now we’re gearing up for a few days of just the two of us in the City of Light.

Dec 31, 2024
Katie
As we count down these final moments of 2024, it’s time to look back at the incredible journeys of the past year. For me, those journeys included going back to work after maternity leave, as well as moving back to the heart of Tampa (I’m now just ten minutes from the airport!). There were several great trips this year as well, though honestly, I felt like the year flew by! I am confident there will be plenty of adventures ahead, but for now, let’s kick off the countdown to 2025 with my 2024 travel recap. Who doesn’t love a little wanderlust to ring in the new year? ✨

Dec 27, 2024
Katie
As you know, we’ve been to Ireland more than a handful of times over the past ten years or so… We most recently went on a family trip to Ireland in 2022, but Tyler and I love to get back there. I would say this was definitely our most ambitious trip there, as we rented a car and turned it into a multi-stop family road trip. Buckle up - this is how we spent our holiday in Ireland...

Highlights from Whistler, British Columbia

Oct 19, 2024
Katie
It has been *a time* down here in Tampa Bay! It’s hard to believe that not one, but two hurricanes have interrupted our lives (and our power) since I was in Whistler for a work conference. It was a quick trip, especially for two full days' worth of travel, but I still made the most of it! Here are the highlights...
