When I last talked about planning for my friend Chelsea’s bachelorette party in Austin, Texas, the only thing we really had planned was the location! Since my bachelorette party was on a cruise (which I’d highly recommend), I didn’t realize all that goes into planning the different stays and activities. Now, these are the excursions we have planned...

Top 10 Highlights from Dublin, Ireland

Jan 3, 2022

Dublin is one of my favorite places to visit. Tyler and I celebrated NYE 2018 there, after we spent the holidays making our way through Brussels, Amsterdam, and Paris. Dublin served as our home base on our 2019 girls' trip to Ireland, allowing us to easily access other cities around the country. And of course, we have plans to return there this March, bringing our son on his first international trip. But when I think of Dublin, I first think of my first trip there in December 2016. We spent a week in the city, and it won me over for life. These are the top 10 highlights from that trip...

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.

These were the best parts...

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.
