Hi, y’all! My husband and I recently traveled to South Padre Island with our 4-year-old kid, 2-year-old toddler and 1-month-old baby. YES, WE ARE CRAZY FOR DOING THIS and YES, IT WAS CONTROLLED CHAOS. It was chaotic but that comes with having young kids, right?! I will never regret making the special memories with our family and introducing the kids’ to these kinds of experiences. Below are some items that made our life a little bit easier on the beach with our littlest. Hope you find it helpful! Baby Items That Make Life Easier This on-the-go baby dome was a beach game changer. Our youngest LOVED hanging out and napping…

ANNIVERSARY AND BABYMOON WEEKEND IN MIAMI, FLORIDA!
Hi, y’all! Bryan and I just got back from our trip to Miami and let me tell ya – WE HAD THE BEST TIME! We honeymooned at Cancun in 2018 after our wedding and always said that we wanted to go back for our fifth anniversary. Well, fast forward to 2023 and I’m 34-weeks pregnant with our third baby so an all-inclusive, adults-only resort in Mexico didn’t exactly make sense. We will save it for our tenth anniversary! All we needed was a beach, the sun and good food so I started looking around places in Florida or Alabama. We landed on flying into Fort Lauderdale because I found flights…

Weekend on the Bay and in Galveston
Hi, y’all! I hope you had an amazing weekend! We spent the weekend with friends on the bay and it was amazing to hang out by the water with a Leinenkugel’s® Summer Shandy® (literally my new favorite summer beer) in my hand. My Summersalt swimsuit arrived just in time for the weekend and it was so cute. I was nervous about the one-strap style since that doesn’t always work for a larger chest and I give it an 8/10 after wearing it all day. The swimsuit doesn’t get a perfect score because I had to readjust multiple times… and it also came down a bit when I dove into the…

BOZEMAN, MT // Ski Trip Packing List, Where to Visit and What I Packed!
Hi, y’all! Bryan and I recently went to Bozeman, Montana for a KIDS-FREE trip and had a the best time. We skied. We après-skied. We toured. We ate. Like I said – WE HAD THE BEST TIME!!

It was a 3-bedroom townhouse that sleeps 7 and wasn’t far from any place we wanted to go. This is the link to the airbnb listing in case you’re interested in visiting! Most of the trip was spent on the slopes but we did…
