I’m that girl when packing – the kind that waltzes her way into the bedroom and believes that it’s only going to take approximately 20 minutes to throw some things in a suitcase and then be on her merry way. Except then reality hits about 5 minutes in and I’m laying on the floor begging for…

Warm Weather Outfits For Your Next Vacation
It’s no secret that I love nothing more than a good ole tropical vacation – hand me a pina colada poolside with a book in my hand and absolutely nothing on the agenda other than a beachside dinner and I’m 100% in my element. Then again, who isn’t in their element when they are responsible…
48 Hours in Austin, TX [What to Eat, What to Do, What to Wear]
Last weekend my family and I ventured off for an adults only trip to Austin, TX for a short but fun filled 48 hours. After a canceled flight on the way out [really cool, fog] we got in late on Friday night and departed Monday afternoon which meant one thing – we had 8 meals…
WHAT TO PACK FOR YOUR NEXT VACATION
Current situation: sitting here in a cozy cardigan, long sleeve tee, leggings, slippers, socks and a fresh cup of coffee in hopes of not freezing my head off. Outside it’s snowy and icy [fun!] and 100% grey skies. The mere mention of a vacation makes me want to spin in circles, throw on a bikini…

St Maarten Vacation Recap
The time has arrived to finally recap our full trip to the Caribbean! A few months ago when Shawn and I were deciding where we were wanting to travel to, I do what I always do – hop on Expedia, start plugging in random destinations, sort the results by highest property class first [a girl…
Welcome Home
I’m baaaaaaaack! We are officially home from our vacation to St Maarten and while my 200+ photos are uploading as we speak, I wanted to pop in [I always fear that I will accidentally type poop rather than pop] and say hello! Amidst the piles of laundry, a delightful little bout of flu that I…
What To Pack For Your Next Warm Weather Vacation
I get it, we all want to get the heck out of dodge this time of year. And if you don’t, you may want to check your mental well-being. February and March have to be the two months out of the year that nearly every human fantasizes about palm trees, beaches, beer and all other…
That Time A Rainbow Hotel Changed My Life
I am pretty confident that every time I visit California I wonder why I booked a return flight home. I try and remind myself that it’s okay because Indiana is where my family and friends are, but then I get home and I see the gray skies and I think “screw family and friends, the sunshine…
