Fall Bucket List
I’m a big fan of bucket lists—lists are my jam! There’s something immensely satisfying about crossing items off a list (a bit of negative reinforcement, if you’re into the psychology of it). My numerous bucket lists offer me that sense of accomplishment and more. As I work on shifting my…

Magical Mini-Vacation (Animal Kingdom Lodge)
We had a truly enchanting trip to Disney, and we’re already dreaming of our next magical adventure. We recently enjoyed a long weekend away, sparing no expense, and it was worth every single penny. To celebrate the finalization of Boy1 and Boy2’s adoption, Hubs and I whisked them away to…

Travel Colds
I have a deep-seated aversion to travel colds, and I’m certain I can’t be the only one who experiences this. It seems like every time I travel, I end up with sinus issues. Whether it’s a trip to Virginia or several visits to Florida, my sinuses always seem to flare…

Obsessive Packer
I am unapologetically an obsessive packer, and I make no excuses for it. Perhaps it stems from a past anxiety about traveling, or maybe it’s just a deep-seated desire to be thoroughly prepared. Regardless, I’ve always loved traveling. I fondly remember the joy of childhood trips, and now, as an…
