We’re a family that loves to travel and we’re not afraid to bring the kids. My oldest has been traveling since she was 3 months old and with our second, we traveled to Hawaii when she was only 5 months old. And while traveling with children is so fun, it can be exhausting as well. I recently booked a stay at the luxury all inclusive resort, Grand Velas Los Cabos for my husband and I, and it was one of the best vacations we’ve taken in a really long time. It really made me realize why it’s so important for all parents to take a child-free vacation every once in awhile. Let someone else cook for you, all day and night If you’ve ever been to an all inclusive resort, you know how good it is to have all meals and drinks included in your stay. But Grand Velas takes it up several notches. They have 7 incredible restaurants that serve all different type of cuisines. My favorite had to have been Cocina De Autor which is a 2 star Michelin restaurant with an 8 course tasting menu and wine pairings. It was one of the best meals I’ve had […]

Traveling with young kids is never easy, but it’s always an adventure and worth the memories made! My kids are 1 and 6 and I try to pick destinations that are easy to get to,  lots of activities for kids and good weather is always a bonus, which is why we recently went to Long Beach, CA for our winter vacation.  They are so many fun things to do with kids in Long Beach, CA and wanted to share what we did while we were there. From Seattle, a flight to Long Beach is only 2 and a half hours and when you are traveling with a baby or toddler, the short flight is a definite win! We flew directly into Long Beach airport which is a beautiful, open air airport.  Layla was so excited to get off the airplane and directly be outside! It’s the little things like this that make me love traveling with my kids as it’s so fun to see what they get excited about. This post is in partnership with Visit Long Beach. All opinions are my own. From the moment we got in the car and started driving, I knew we were going to […]

 This post is in partnership with Four Seasons.  All opinions are my own. Headed to Las Vegas and bringing your baby and young kids?  Read on for the best tips on traveling to Las Vegas with your little ones.  I’m also sharing where to stay and what to do to make your trip enjoyable and relaxing! The best Las Vegas Hotel for Kids and Babies I’ve been to Las Vegas numerous times due to how close the flight is from Seattle. I’ve done multiple girls trips, my bachelorette party and lots of work trips as well.  And as much as I love Vegas, I didn’t consider taking my kids, especially since they are so young. My oldest just turned 6 and needs to be entertained at all times and my youngest is 10 months and is a typical baby with lots of needs!  I was afraid that Las Vegas would not be a great place for kids or babies but, being that I am always up for an adventure, I booked a last minute vacation and decided to just go for it! Four Seasons Las Vegas Hotel Review My sister recently stayed at the Four Seasons Las Vegas and highly […]

If you are thinking about visiting Disney’s Aulani resort with your baby, read on for the ultimate guide to enjoying Aulani with your baby. I’m covering all the activities, tips, tricks and everything you need to know to make the trip enjoyable for you and your baby. We flew from Seattle to Hawaii which was a 6 hour plane ride.  With a 5 year old and a teething 6 month old, it definitely made for an interesting plane ride to say the least. But when we arrived at Aulani, all was forgotten about the long plane ride, we were SO happy to be there! How to enjoy Aulani with a baby Before our trip I had done so much research about going to Aulani and especially staying at Aulani with infants/babies and could find very little info. When I was there though, I noticed that there were a ton of babies! I’m happy that it’s a destination that a lot of families go to, even with very young babies. So, I wanted to write this post to help ease the fears for mamas like me who just want to be extra prepared when heading on vacation to Aulani with their […]

We made so many great memories on our very first Disney Cruise to the Bahamas and one thing that I knew as soon as I booked the trip was that we needed to do a family photo shoot while on vacation. There’s no hiding that I love photos and I wanted to make sure to capture our very fun trip as well as shoot our baby announcement! And to make sure that you are prepared for your next vacation, I’ve included my best tips on getting the best family vacation photos that includes choosing your photographer and how to prepare your family for the photos. Finding the perfect photographer for your vacation Our first stop on the cruise was Key West and I knew that would be the ideal place for photos! Normally I would ask friends for referrals but since I don’t know anyone in that area, I had to do my own research. Google is a great jumping off point but I found that the people at the top of the google search ended up being more expensive than I wanted and did not mesh with my style as much. I am thankful that I’m so active on […]

As you may know, we recently went on our first Disney Cruise which we LOVED!  I’m planning on doing a post to cover the cruise but first had to share one of our favorite parts of our trip where we spent a fun day in Miami!  FAMILY FRIENDLY HOTEL MIAMI SOUTH BEACH Flying from Seattle to Miami is extremely hard to find direct flights as we are flying all the way to the opposite end of the US!  I could not find flights that would match up with the cruise schedule. We decided to stay an extra day in Miami so we could avoid the stress of having to catch a flight too early or too late.  We booked a room at the beautiful Washington Park Hotel in South Beach and it was the perfect family friendly hotel in Miami! I’ve only been to Miami for girl’s trips so was not sure how family friendly it would be but we were pleasantly surprised when we got to the hotel and found not only gorgeous rooms but great amenities as well! BRIGHT AND MODERN ROOMS The rooms were really bright and spacious so the three of us had plenty of room to […]

Need some ideas on what to pack for your next vacation? Chambray to the rescue!  When I’m headed to a warm location, I love bringing my chambray pieces as they are so lightweight, easy to pack and looks cute even when wrinkled!  They are also super easy to wear so no matter if you are running through the airport, sightseeing, chasing after your little one or sitting by the pool, it’s the perfect mom outfit for any vacation! Chambray Jackets & Cardigans I love a lightweight cardigan and the chambray cardigan works because it will go with everything!   Toss it over tee and jeans like I did here or a cute top and shorts. It also makes for a cute swimsuit coverup! SHOP CHAMBRAY JACKETS & CARDIGANS CHAMBRAY DRESS When I head to the beach or warm climate I find that throwing on a dress is often the easiest thing. Chambray dresses are such a good option as they keep you cool, you don’t have to think about pulling together a full outfit and they are so cute! SHOP CHAMBRAY DRESSES CHAMBRAY TOPS You can never go wrong with a chambray top and white jeans. It just makes for such […]

My sister and I were invited to speak on the panel at the Women Who Slay event in Las Vegas and we were hosted by the  which was such a fabulous hotel.  Just wanted to share my review and thoughts on our stay as well as some of the fun stuff we got to do! Also if you want some recommendations of what to do and eat in Vegas, scroll down to the bottom of the post! Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa I’ve been to Vegas, a lot.  I think this was my 12th time being there.  And I’ve always stayed on the strip so this is the first time not being on the strip but it was absolutely what I needed.  If you haven’t been to Vegas before, staying on the strip is a no brainer!  You definitely have to experience it once in your life. But if you are a frequent visitor, a place like the Red Rock Resort is a great option.  It was about a half hour from the strip which was an easy uber/taxi ride for when we did go out at night but we just stayed at the hotel during the day relaxing […]
