Thank you to Visit Plano for sponsoring this post about one of my favorite cities in North Texas. I can’t wait to share our family weekend in Plano with y’all! One of the things I love so much about Texas is how many fun, family-friendly places there are to visit. But even though I love …
A couple weeks ago, we visited Corpus Christi for the first time. Whenever we plan a family vacation, we try to stay in a place that has a kitchen so we can meal plan. Meal planning for vacation saves us so much money. this vacation was no exception. We planned our meals, brought most of …
A few months ago, we visited KidZania, an interactive city designed for kids in Frisco. Right after we visited, everything went into lockdown and it was closed almost as soon as it had opened. it has since reopened (yay!), and today I wanted to share some of the details about KidZania so you can plan …
If you follow me on Instagram, you know that Claire’s birthday was in July. We normally celebrate with a big pool party or get-together at our house, but this year that just wasn’t a possibility (helllllo, pandemic).

One thing I love about cruise ships is that they combine a hotel, a resort lifestyle, the great outdoors, and travel to exciting new locations all in one convenient floating vessel. Of course, that means you have to pack for all those things, too! This is especially true if you’re heading out of a chilly …
Taking my kids to Disney, or Universal, or Six Flags was one of those things I looked forward to pre-parenting. But when it came to actually take my kids to these places, I realized it was a lot more work than I had anticipated! Also pre-parenting, I thought my kids would sleep and that they’d …
