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).

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.

September 9, 2025

We recently took a trip to South Dakota and when I told people we were going to South Dakota they all asked why. And I’ll tell you why: because I hadn’t been there.
