Katie
Our son is officially three years old! To celebrate, we decided to go away for the weekend and introduce him to the magic of Disney. We didn’t visit any of the parks this time (he’ll get to experience those next month in Tokyo), but we had a ton of fun at Disney Springs. Here’s how we spent our money over the two days in Orlando...

Katie’s Top 3 Winter Wonderlands

Dec 26, 2023
Katie
Now that it’s officially winter in the Northern Hemisphere, I’ve been thinking about some of my favorite cold weather spots! Obviously, a lot of folks like to travel to Florida to warm up in the winter, but as a Floridian? That’s not quite as exciting. In fact, I prefer to travel somewhere cold and make the most of the season. If you’re looking for a wintery wonderland, these are my top recommendations...

Katie
Of course, as we look ahead to new trips and locations, it’s good to remember the ones we’ve taken as well. It can be easy to get caught up in the places I didn’t go, but I was actually surprised by just how many trips I managed to take, now that I’m looking back on it! Some of which I’d already forgotten about... To recap, here’s where the year took me:

Dreaming of Scottsdale, Arizona

Nov 7, 2023
Katie
As I mentioned previously, my team planned a smaller off-site in the city that just happened a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately, it was not advisable for me to attend, since baby #2 is due any day now! Instead, I lived vicariously through my team. Their adventures have had me dreaming about all the great things in Scottsdale, like…

Spotlight: The Florida Aquarium

Oct 24, 2023
Katie
At $185 for a family of four, an annual membership is definitely the way to go, even if you’re not fully committed to monthly visits - if you go twice in a year, it will be worth it (especially because the membership also includes parking). That being said, if you’re not totally sold, these are some of the things I love about The Florida Aquarium...

Must-Visit: Sweetfields Farm in the Fall

Oct 11, 2023
Katie
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...
