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.

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…
