Nothing says Happy 4th of July, like a good ole’ family trip to Waco, Texas. So my husband and I packed up the boys and took them to a new city for the weekend. Waco is a cute town that sits along the Brazos River. It’s the home of Baylor University, the winner of the …
When I told my friends and family that I was taking a solo Guatemala vacation, the common question was, “Guatemala, why Guatemala?” The second question was, “Is it safe- especially for a solo female?” Well, after showing them pictures of where I was going to spend my Guatemala vacation- Lake Atitlan and Antigua, along with explaining that …
