How to Choose the Best Joshua Tree National Park Itinerary

July 8, 2025

Joshua Tree National Park has multiple entrances. It’s not a huge National Park and it could be done in a day with minimal hiking but I recommend two days. However, because of the multiple entrances the order in which you decide to see all the fun stuff should be based on where you’re staying. That’s why I’m sharing two different itineraries with tips on choosing the best one and each one includes all the places I recommend seeing. So whether you are staying at the North or South entrance, you can see it all. This post may contain affiliate links.

How to Find The Best Swimming in the Texas Hill Country

July 1, 2025

This is a very controversial statement but I love summers in the Texas Hill Country. Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s very hot and August is awful, I don’t include August in my statement. However, if done right, May, June and July are really fun. However, I do believe you need to spend it swimming in the Texas Hill Country, or stay inside. See, the thing is, I’m a water bug. So I’m happy in the river, at the beach, or in a pool. That’s why I’ve rounded up all the fun places you can swim to beat the Texas heat in the hill country. This post may contain affiliate links.

Is 3 Days in Florence Italy Enough Time?

June 24, 2025

Florence Italy is one of my favorite cities I’ve ever been to and I enjoyed everything we did. Our three days in the area were amazing and I definitely want to go back. To be honest, it’s never enough time anywhere but we did get a good taste of the area and I wouldn’t change anything, I’d just go back! It’s a big pet peeve of mine when someone tells me to skip something because I can’t do it all. I like to experience a taste of a place and then plan a longer trip and a Florence, Tuscany trip is already in the plans. This post may contain affiliate links.

How to Spend 4 Perfect Days in Rome Italy

June 17, 2025

I personally think Rome Italy gets a bad reputation. Yes, it’s dirty, old, and very touristy but it’s also amazing with great food, and so much history it’s hard to get your head around it. I’ve been twice to Rome both for 4-6 days and I would go back again. Our last 4 days we spent there we also did a day trip which I definitely recommend. Here’s how to spend 4 perfect days in Rome.

Big Bend Hikes Not to Miss on Your First Trip

May 22, 2025

Big Bend remains one of the best surprises in Texas. Having been born and raised in Texas, I feel like I know it pretty well and I did not expect to be “wow’ed” by Big Bend, but I was. We’ve now been twice and I would go back again. Our favorite thing to do is camp and hike. Because of this, I recommend traveling there in late January and February. It might be quite cold but you’ll miss the wicked heat. These are my favorite hikes we’ve done (so far) and what I would recommend for your first trip to the National Park.

Super Easy Summer Road Trips from San Antonio Kids Love

May 1, 2025

Instead of doing a round up of activities in San Antonio for the month of May I decided to switch gears and share some of my favorite summer road trips from San Antonio. These are easy to do in one day, involve lots of water (because Texas y’all) and are kid-tested. Each summer my nieces and nephews come stay with us (one at a time- I’m not Wonder Woman) and this year, we plan to do some get-a-ways. That means I’ve spent a lot of time searching for fun places to go that we haven’t been to or that we think they’d love. So here’s my round up! This post may contain affiliate links.
