Travel Games Kids & Adults will Love

April 8, 2026

I love having travel games whenever we go anywhere with my sister’s kids. They’re a fun way to learn about the places we are going and to take a break from the tablets. I also love using them as journals to track the trip. That’s why I’m sharing fun travel games kids and adults will love today. You can print them out or keep them on your phone.

When Should You Visit Yellowstone? A Winter vs. Fall Comparison

March 27, 2026

It’s no secret that I love Yellowstone National Park. I do believe it’s the best National Park and I will fight anyone who disagrees. If you don’t love it, you didn’t do it right or you hate nature. Those are the only options. I have been to visit Yellowstone more times than I can remember starting from when I was just a baby. Fun fact: I actually took my first steps in Yellowstone! I was a late bloomer and had sisters always willing to pick me up. But that’s not really the point. The point is that I love this National Park and it breaks my heart when others don’t. There is so much to see and I do believe

Your Ultimate Guide to Christmas in the Texas Hill Country

November 14, 2025

When you think of cozy Christmas places around the world, Christmas in the Texas Hill Country doesn’t really come to mind. We don’t get the wintery wonderlands of other places and we don’t have cute Christmas markets of Europe. However, that doesn’t mean there’s not plenty of festive places to head for holiday memories. The hill country actually has a lot of cute, festive ways to celebrate the season and I’ve completed a full round up of where to see the lights, shop small, and make memories (with or without the kids). There’s a lot of places you can go so I’ve divided this into San Antonio, Austin, and then added small towns worth visiting as well. This post may

Your Itinerary to Visit Lake Tahoe in the Winter & Why You’ll Love it

October 23, 2025

Lake Tahoe is a special place that doesn’t get the love it deserves. Sure, it’s popular but I think it’s one of the best natural vacation spots in the states. If you haven’t been, you definitely need to add visit Lake Tahoe to your list. The best part is that you can visit Lake Tahoe in the summer, fall, spring, or even the winter, and there’s not a lot of places where this rings true. We visited the area in the winter and it was wonderful. It’s less crowded but so beautiful and well worth it. Our trip was over Thanksgiving and I’d definitely go back during this time. However, as I said, I truly think Lake Tahoe would be

Festive Fun for Holidays in Texas You’ll Love

November 5, 2024

I’m gonna be real with you, holidays in Texas are not a Hallmark movie. There’s (probably) not going to be snow and it might even be hot. However, there’s still festive fun to be found! There’s a few towns around the hill country that go all out for Christmas, there’s also markets to get your holiday shopping done and plenty of Christmas lights to be seen.
