I’m sharing a one week (7 day) itinerary of Kauai that includes the best beaches, hikes, and activities! Of all the trips my husband and I have ever taken, our one week trip to the Hawaiian island of Kauai has been the most relaxing. We loved every minute of our trip and truly did not want to leave.

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…

Our Outdoor, Fall Wedding in Sonoma County, California
I walked down the aisle and said “I do” to my best friend 4 years ago. They have been the most amazing years full of love and adventure. Our day was perfect because we committed to love one another before God, our family, and our closest friends.
