Some people believe that they need to stop traveling when they start a family. I completely disagree! Traveling with a baby looks a lot different than traveling as a couple, but we have loved making memories with our sweet baby girl. She went on her first “stay-cation” at a beach resort at 8 weeks, her first out-of-state road trip to visit family at 10 weeks, and her first tent camping trip at 4.5 months. We haven’t stopped traveling and are looking forward to all of our upcoming adventures with her! When you’re expecting a baby, setting up a registry can be a bit overwhelming. There are so many great products…

10 Things to do in Sonoma County (Besides Wine Tasting)
Sonoma County, California, is known for its beautiful vineyards and amazing wineries. You probably do not want to skip wine tasting if you’re visiting the area, but there are so many other things to enjoy! I absolutely love living here, and I totally understand why so many people love to visit. Before I jump in, I want to highly recommend that you rent a car if you aren’t from this area. Sonoma County is lovely and spread out. Having your own car will allow you to see it all! We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

5 Places to Kayak in Sonoma County
Any kayaking fans out there? My husband and I have been kayaking together since our 4th date. At the time, we lived in Southern CA and would rent kayaks by the hour in Long Beach. Over the years, we have sought out kayaking (or other boating) adventures every time we traveled. We have kayaked with alligators in the Pearl River in Mississippi and in the Pacific Ocean under Coronado Bridge in San Diego. We’ve rowed in a beautiful Victorian-style wooden boat in the Avon River (in Bath, England) and paddled our way through the Wailua River (in Kauai). I could go on, but I think you get the point…my husband…

6 Restaurants to Eat Gluten-Free in Paris
Are you gluten-free (or san gluten, as the French would say) and looking for a list of restaurants to enjoy in Paris? I know that traveling with this allergy/sensitivity can be daunting. Some travel destinations are friendlier toward food allergies than others, and thankfully Paris definitely makes the list of the friendly destinations. I was pleasantly surprised at how many options I had on my trip to Paris last fall. You will find that the go-to gluten-free flour in Paris is buckwheat flour (although you can find other options as well). We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

24 Hours in Toronto (in November)
Have you ever missed a connecting flight? In another country? How did it work out? This happened to me and my husband on our way to our babymoon in Paris. Our flight was a little delayed out of LAX, then we sat on the tarmac in Toronto for 45 minutes. After running through the airport while pregnant (something I wished I hadn’t done, in hindsight) and being rushed through Canadian customs, we (and about 10 other people from our first flight) arrived at our boarding gate 1 minute after they closed the doors. Our airplane was there, but we couldn’t get on it. We may earn money or products from…

3 Reasons to Visit Paris in the Fall (and 3 Things to Keep in Mind)
Paris in the fall! Is it a good idea? After spending a week in Paris near the end of November, I am happy to share that I do think it is a great idea! While we are glad we went for it (because of the 3 reasons I share about in this post!), there are also a few things to keep in mind (which I also share in this post!). In other words, I’ll share both the good and “the bad” (although “the bad” wouldn’t keep us away!). We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

4 Packing Must-Haves for Easy Travel
Packing. People seem to either love it or hate it. I am the type of person who loves it, but only if I’m able to stay organized. I can’t stand an overflowing suitcase, where everything is mixed together. Often a suitcase is nice and tidy when you first pack it but then a tornado seems to take over by the end of your trip. You can’t find that cute sundress you packed for your last night out (or you found it, but it’s a wrinkled mess), your dirty clothes are mixed with your clean clothes, and your toiletries have leaked. Just typing this intro causes me stress! We may earn…

5 Tips for Traveling Internationally with Food Allergies
Food allergies… they are a pain. Many people (myself included) get nervous when traveling (especially internationally) when food allergies are a part of their everyday concerns.

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post. We only recommend products and services that we love! As someone who deals with this, I can attest to the fact there are few things as stressful as being in a foreign country, hungry, with no idea what to do about it. I’ve been…
