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 …
May 13, 2021 marked our nine year anniversary.

January 2021. It’s the time of year to celebrate my birthday. I was clueless on what I wanted to do. After the “fun” of 2020, I knew I wanted to do something actually fun to celebrate. I was also exhausted and didn’t want to put too much effort into planning and logistics. Then it dawned …
After our twin boys turned eighteen months old and they were super mobile and full of energy, we knew it was time to take an adults-only break and go on a couples trip. That year we chose Cuba, and man was it the fun and relaxation that we needed. From that moment, we made a …
I absolutely love how majestic photos from underwater photoshoots look. For some reason I thought this type of photoshoot was only for real-life models.
