NYC Travel Diaries {Day 1: Back in the Big Apple}

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve visited New York City over the years, but I think this trip made number seven. Every visit has been memorable for a different reason. Some have been girls’ trips, others have centered around Broadway, Christmas or simply enjoying one of my favorite cities. This trip was all… Read More

Mickey & Minnie Cove Cabanas at Castaway Cay

If you’ve followed along for very long, you know that my favorite day on any Disney Cruise Line vacation is Castaway Cay day. There’s just something about stepping onto Disney’s private island that immediately puts everyone into vacation mode.

Pier Sixty-Six Resort in Fort Lauderdale

My favorite for Fort Lauderdale getaways and pre-cruise luxury I’ve now done two stays at Pier Sixty-Six in Fort Lauderdale and WOW… I’m still dreaming about it.

Disney Destiny Travel Diary {Day 1: Sailing Away}

We’re back from our multigenerational sailing aboard the beautiful Disney Destiny, and I’m still riding high from the experience. I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it again: Disney Cruise Line remains our family’s favorite way to vacation. It is quite literally the only vacation we’ve found where every single person genuinely enjoys… Read More

A Mother’s Day Tradition at The St. Regis Atlanta

I honestly don’t know how many years running my sweet friend L has organized this little tradition, but it has become one of my favorite Mother’s Day gifts to myself. Each year, on the Friday of Mother’s Day weekend, we scoot away from all the May-cember responsibilities for twenty-four hours at The St. Regis Atlanta.… Read More
