Parents who love to travel know that an easy-to-use, lightweight, compact stroller is an essential when traveling with a baby or toddler. I recently set out to find the best travel stroller for our daughter, who recently turned one year old. I spent countless hours researching our options, and I’m excited to share my findings with you, as well as info on the stroller we ultimately went with (and love!).

How to Hike the Narrows at Zion
Of all the national parks my husband and I have visited together, Zion National Park is one of our favorites. It is located in southwest Utah and its red cliffs are absolutely stunning (everything we hoped for and more!). We visited the park for two days during our road trip across southern Utah, and we knew long before we visited that we wanted to spend a day hiking the Narrows while we were there.

Whale Watching in Orange County
Whale watching is an incredible way to see beautiful whales (of all kinds!) in their natural habitat! We are given the opportunity to go to them and leave them undisturbed, in their natural home (the wide open ocean). As my husband and I have gotten older, we’ve researched the treatment of these animals (and others) more and more, and we have made the decision to never participate in animal tourism that hurts animals. We are thankful for opportunities like these, which allow us to enjoy these beautiful creatures without supporting mistreatment of them. My husband and I have had several amazing whale watching experiences over the years in both Orange…

How to Pack like a Minimalist
How to pack like a minimalist! Sounds fun, right? (I’m not making a joke…anything related to minimalism excites me!) 🙂 My husband and I consider ourselves minimalists (and most of our loved ones would agree). Minimalism can be defined in so many different ways, but ultimately, we try to live intentionally and avoid clutter. We have plenty of items, but each item brings us joy and has a purpose.

5 Reasons to Visit the Grand Canyon in the Winter
The Grand Canyon is a popular bucket list destination- and for good reason! It is stunning. My husband, baby girl, and I recently spent 24 hours on the South Rim (the North Rim is closed during the winter months). I had never been to the Grand Canyon in the winter, and it was perfect!

Souvenir Ideas for Minimalists
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…
