We have spent New Year’s Eve at Disney World in Florida and at Disneyland in California in the past, so when we were thinking about what we wanted to do this year for New Year’s, we had pretty much decided on either Shanghai Disney or Tokyo Disney. We settled on Tokyo Disney… and then learned […]
When I found out we were moving to Bahrain, Dubai quickly rose to the top of my to-go list. Toby and I visited not long after we moved, but it is also the perfect location for a girls’ trip. So when my friend Olga came to visit me, we decided to do a little getaway […]
About three years ago, my brother visited Ethiopia and Kenya in December and met a girl. Two years ago, we met her for the first time for New Year’s in Dubai. And in late 2017, just after Christmas, we flew to Ethiopia for their wedding! Because we were traveling specifically for the wedding, we didn’t […]
Toby and I are very excited to announce that we are expecting a baby girl, due in April 2019! We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season, but our rainbow baby is definitely at the top of our list! We thought a Thanksgiving visit to Tokyo Disneyland was the perfect opportunity to […]
Even though Cincinnati has appeared on several lists of recommended places to visit in recent years (including, notably, the New York Times’ 52 Places to Go in 2018 list), you may not think of the Queen City as a foodie destination.

Bonjour! Today I’m going to tell you all about visiting Disneyland Paris, from an American Disney fan’s point of view. But before we get started, you should know a few things about me. Those of you who read my blog, follow me on Instagram, or happened to have gone to middle school with me have […]
I had been obsessed with visiting India for almost 20 years by the time I moved to Bahrain, so obviously it was at the top of our “to go” list from the beginning. The country is so vast and magical that you definitely need more than a few days to even get a feel for […]
I have never been very good at packing light, and packing for summer in Spain last year seemed particularly daunting, since I knew I was going to have to haul my own suitcases through hotels and train stations in Barcelona and Valencia before heading to the US (with those same suitcases)! Plus, since I was […]
Last year, my friend Patty and I decided to take a free military flight to Europe and do a girls’ road trip in Southern Spain for about five days. We visited Sevilla, Cordoba, Granada and Rota before heading home, and it was an awesome trip! Because we weren’t 100 percent sure we’d even get on […]
I have been wanting to try SUP yoga for years, but no one would ever do it with me in California or DC. So imagine my surprise when we moved to Bahrain and my first (and best) friend there turned out to be a certified SUP yoga instructor! Haunani is an awesome yoga instructor on land AND […]
