We will never forget our 14 month old daughter’s first big international adventure to England and Scotland! She loved her time in the United Kingdom, and we did too!

    Exploring London with Keetoo

    May 28, 2019

    London is one of my favorite cities! My husband and I love that it is filled with rich history, beautiful palaces, and relaxing gardens. Our family (including our 1 year old daughter) recently spent a few days in London as part of our two week trip to the United Kingdom, and we were absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Keetoo while we were there! Keeto is an app (for both iPhones and Androids) that gives you incredible discounts on major London attractions. With Keetoo, you can save quite a bit of money by simply downloading their app. After downloading the app, you can purchase a Day Tripper…

    How to Spend 6 Days in England: London and Bath Itinerary

    November 29, 2018

    Are you planning a trip to England? It is a popular trip destination- for good reason! My husband and I visited England as part of a two week trip across the pond (we also spent time in Ireland). I fell in love with it, and I’m excited to share our experience with you. If you’re interested in how to spend 6 days in England, keep reading! (Note: We were technically in England for longer, but I’m focusing on our non-full-travel days in this post.) We decided to spend our time in London and Bath on this trip (but you can read about our time in the Lake District here). We…

    10 Restaurants to Eat Gluten-Free in London

    September 28, 2018

    Are you gluten-free? I am, and I never let it stop me from going on an adventure. Although traveling with food allergies can be stressful, I have learned how to manage it throughout the years. Some travel destinations are friendlier toward food allergies than others, and London definitely makes the list of friendly cities. When my husband and I made plans to travel to London (both the first and second time), I did a lot of meal research. As someone who travels with food allergies, researching food options is always a major part of my overall trip research. I arrived in London with a list of restaurant options (sit-down and…

    Traveling to Scotland with a Toddler or Baby

    February 23, 2024

    Are you looking for tips on traveling to Scotland with a baby or toddler? I’m sharing a detailed guide on why you should consider Scotland, what to do and see with your toddler or baby, how to dress, what souvenirs to consider, where to stay for a family-friendly experience, and what travel gear to take with you. Our first international adventure as a family of three was to Scotland, and my husband and I can honestly say that we loved traveling to Scotland with a toddler (or a baby- she was just over one year old). We had traveled to England and Ireland together, but hadn’t made it to Scotland.…

    Best Backpack for Traveling with Toddlers

    January 1, 2020

    Are you a traveling parent who is on the hunt for the best backpack for traveling with your toddlers? I’m so excited to tell you all about our family’s new favorite travel backpack- the NOMATIC Travel Pack! Our daughter is (almost) 2 years old and is constantly on the move. My husband and I have always preferred to wear backpacks (versus other bag styles) to haul our stuff around, because it is necessary to keep our hands free when we are out-and-about with our daughter. Backpacks are typically easier on our bodies too, as it is more comfortable to disperse the bag weight evenly across our backs, rather than lugging…

    Souvenir Ideas for Minimalists

    January 4, 2019

    Minimalism. What does that even mean? And what would souvenir ideas for minimalists include? For some, it means bare walls and only the bare necessities. For others, its about living intentionally and getting rid of excess material clutter. My husband and I live a pretty minimalist lifestyle (and I think most of our loved ones would agree!). We still have plenty of stuff, but we purge our material belongings often and like to keep things simple. We lived in a 450 sq. ft. studio apartment for the first two years of our marriage, and we never felt crowded. We now live in a two-bedroom home, and we constantly talk about…

    2 Weeks in England and Ireland: Trip Itinerary

    December 14, 2018

    England and Ireland are two destinations that are easy to fall in love with, and it is so easy to fit both into one trip across the pond! My husband and I loved our two week (13 day) trip, and I’m excited to share our itinerary with you. We spent our days exploring royal palaces in London, attending services in beautiful churches in multiple cities, and adventuring through the beautiful streets of Bath. We relaxed in the countryside, boated down the Avon River, and hiked the beautiful hills of Ireland. Our trip was perfect for us, and I hope you enjoy reading about our experiences.
