Here are the states that I’ve been to as a Jersey raised girl turned Californian who’s done many road trips, several cross-country moves & traveled full-time for a year ❤️🤍💙

How many states have you been to & what state would you like to see next? 🌎

I would love to see Alaska, and Wyoming & Montana are the only states that were on our nomad travel list that we didn’t make it to… so maybe those two on our next long road trip!

Took a road trip to Joshua Tree National Park & were treated to these gorgeous views!

Joshua Tree marks National Park 5️⃣ for our 5 year old! The hike was the perfect length & difficulty for her. Trail info below.

📍Mastodon Peak
2.5 mile loop
400 ft elevation gain 🥾
Took us about 2 hours to complete
The trail features awesome views + the remains of old mines!

What’s your favorite breakfast food?

I’m forever a pancakes-for-breakfast kinda chick, and I’ve been loving pumpkin pancakes this fall! 🎃🥞

These easy single serving pancakes are made with simple ingredients like pure pumpkin, whole wheat flour, and plant-based vanilla protein powder for a nutritional boost.

Grab the recipe via my first link in bio or stories today!

Got a projector for backyard movie nights & I’m obsessed! Looking forward to doing a Christmas movie night next!

Comment ‘MOVIES’ for links to the projector & screen that I nabbed on Amazon.

My family traveled full-time for over a year during my daughter’s entire 3rd year and have gone on countless long road trips. Here are tips I have for helping to make road trips with kids a success! 🚙🌎

1️⃣ BUILD IN FREQUENT STOPS. I always plot out our route and find parks that we can stop at to get my daughter’s energy out and let her have fun on the playground.

2️⃣ BRING NEW ACTIVITIES OR TOYS FOR THE RIDE. It doesn’t need to be fancy, I often pop into the dollar store for car activities. My daughter loves stickers, so I always include stickers and a coloring book or board book that she can spend time sticking them onto. Sometimes I also hide away little toys that she likes for a few weeks leading up to a road trip - when I reintroduce it, it feels new again to her!

3️⃣ BRING LOTS OF SNACKS! Too many snacks are always better than not enough when it comes to kids (and also, husbands that get hangry 😉). I try to bring a few things that take awhile to snack on, & I also bring something “special” in case she’s starting to lose it, like chocolate peanut butter cups.

4️⃣ FOR PARENTS OF RECENTLY POTTY TRAINED KIDDOS & YOUNG ONES… BRING A PORTABLE POTTY! I can’t tell you how many times we’ve been in the middle of nowhere with no truck stop in sight and needs to pull over on the side of the road so that my daughter can go potty.

5️⃣ KNOW YOUR LIMITS. We never drive more than 6 hours in a day and we stop every couple of hours because that is our limit with a very active little one!

When’s your next road trip?!

My daughter and I love doing puffy paint crafts for every holiday… so October obviously means spooky puffy painting! This witch’s cauldron puffy paint is a fun & easy Halloween craft. Here’s what you need:

-Shaving cream + glue to make the puffy paint ✔️
-Green dye ✔️
-Paint brushes ✔️
-Cardstock paper ✔️
-Artsy items you can use to make your art spooky & sparkly, such as pipe cleaners, tissue paper squares, small plastic spiders etc ✔️

1️⃣Combine equal(-ish) parts shaving cream + glue to make the puffy paint.
2️⃣Mix in a few drops of green dye.
3️⃣Cut black cardstock paper into cauldron shapes and glue it onto cardstock paper (we used purple here).
4️⃣Swirl your puffy paint around the cauldron to make a potion painting. Get creative and add your spooky and sparkly items onto the cauldron and potion!

Had the chance to get away for the night to the OC with my hubby (thanks mom & dad for babysitting!) to celebrate our 15th anniversary 💙

A decade & a half of marriage, and nearly half of our lives together!

From the stress of buying & selling homes, to the magic of living around/traveling the world together.

From supporting each other in military life, to supporting each other in business ventures.

From the exhaustion of being parents to a colicky baby that didn’t sleep for years, to the chaos of being parents to a hilarious 5 year old who is always keeping us on our toes. From life with an adorably naughty rescue puppy, to life with an elderly dog who leaves us #2 surprises all over the house.

Through it all, we’ve unapologetically done it our way. Here’s to hoping the next 15 years together are just as fun & exciting!
