Go Beyond Paris with this France Itinerary You’ll Love

February 19, 2026

France is so much more than Paris. Don’t get me wrong, I love Paris, I’ve been twice and would go back again. However, a year ago my husband and I did a road trip from Paris to Normandy and then we flew down to the south of France and road tripped there. We loved both.

Celebrate LOVE with these Paris Themed Gifts

February 5, 2026

It is officially the month of love and no holiday gets more hate than Valentine’s Day. I think it gets a bad rap. I love Valentine’s Day for no real reason, I’m not into the cheesy but I am into chocolate covered strawberries. The same goes for Paris, it gets a bad rap. That’s why I’m sharing Paris themed gifts. Before I went to Paris for the first time my expectations were very low. Everyone told me that Paris is dirty and the people are rude and I did not find this to be true.

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.

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
