Tell me you’re a parent of a teen without telling me… I’ll go first: I just spent $300 on groceries and somehow… there’s STILL ‘nothing to eat.’ 🤦‍♀️ Drop yours below! 👇

✈️ Packing for a trip always starts with the same false confidence… until reality hits.

🧳 The Overpacker: Brings 12 outfits for a 3-day trip “just in case” and somehow still forgets pajamas. Believes in emotional support shoes and would rather sit on their suitcase and pray than remove a single item.

🎒 The Minimalist: Packs a swimsuit, a toothbrush, and vibes. Claims they don’t “need much” but will definitely be borrowing your stuff the whole trip. Will brag about their carry-on status while shivering because they didn’t bring a jacket and still claim "I'm not cold!" (if you think this is about you, it probably is Jason!)

💬 Which one are you? Or better yet—which one is your travel partner? Tag them and expose their packing crimes!

🚨 They just booked their dream getaway… and barely made it in time! ⏳

They lucked out with a FREE balcony upgrade (hello, ocean views!) and some sweet perks—but while they were booking, prices jumped for everyone else. 😬

This deal? Not sticking around. Prices are moving fast, and once it's gone… it's gone. If you’re even thinking about a luxury escape, DM me “VIP” and let’s lock in the best rate before it disappears! 🚢✨

Roses are red, travel is sweet, but romance with kids… takes a backseat. ✈️😂

Let’s be real—Valentine’s Day hits different when you're traveling with kids. Gone are the candlelit dinners and couples massages. Instead, you’re bribing tiny humans with snacks so you can steal a quiet moment with your partner.

❤️ Romance now looks like:
✔️ Holding hands over a Happy Meal instead of fine dining
✔️ Whispering sweet nothings like “Don’t lick that!” in a theme park
✔️ Watching the sunset... through the rearview mirror while passing out Goldfish
✔️ A hotel “date night” that ends with a toddler between you and Cocomelon on full blast

But you know what? This is love too. Messy, chaotic, unforgettable love. And one day, when the kids are older, you’ll get that dreamy couples' getaway. Until then, cheers to finding romance in the little moments. 🥂

👇 Tag your Valentine and tell them what romantic moment you’ve managed to sneak in while traveling with the kids!

Being a sports mom is not for the weak. It's spending Valentine's Day dinner at our annual spot with some of our favorite people because it's the only day we had available for the next decade because ⚽️. What did ya'll do for Valentine's?

What’s your ultimate date night? 😍 Drop your dream date below!

A) 🍽️ Fancy dinner & wine night
B) 🎡 Something fun like mini-golf or an escape room
C) 🏝️ Weekend getaway (YES PLEASE)
D) 😴 Napping without interruptions...counts, right?!

Let’s hear it 👇

Confession: Some of our best date nights aren’t fancy. Sometimes, it’s just grabbing takeout and eating it in the car while the kids blow up our phones, or just a simple impromptu drive to the beach. (perks of living in Florida).

It’s not about where you go—it’s about making the time. And trust me, if we can squeeze in date nights between work, soccer, and possibly literal rabbits 🐰, so can you!

Real talk—why is it so hard to turn off the “parent mode” on date nights?! 🤦‍♀️ Drop a 👫 if you desperately need a night out!

📢 PSA for all the exhausted, over-caffeinated parents out there:
When was the last time you went on a real date—one that didn’t involve running errands, sitting at a kid’s practice, or discussing who’s handling the carpool schedule?

Yeah… I thought so. 😬

Between work, kids, and the never-ending chaos of life, it’s easy to put your marriage on autopilot. But here’s the thing—your relationship deserves more than leftover energy and reheated conversations.

If you’ve ever felt like your partner and you are more co-managers of a household than a couple, this one’s for you. New blog is live! Date your mate—it’s a non-negotiable. 💕

𝓛𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓲𝓼 𝓲𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 (𝓢𝓪𝓵𝓽𝔂) 𝓐𝓲𝓻💘

Before the eye rolls. Before the “Bruh, you’re so embarrassing.” Before the endless school drop-offs, extracurriculars, and late-night “Mom, I forgot I need a poster board for tomorrow” moments… it was just us.

Back when we were young (and way cooler in someone’s eyes), my husband and I used to take off to the beach on a whim—no kids, no drama, no schedules. Just us, a blanket, and a small cooler. We’d sit there for hours, toes in the sand, talking about everything and nothing at all, listening to the waves crash as the world felt quiet, simple, and ours.

Now? 20 years later. Life is amazing, but it’s loud. It’s full of teenage attitudes, constant snack raids, and kids who somehow need everything from us, except when they’re ignoring our texts. And if we’re being honest? We miss us.

That’s why Valentine’s Day feels different now. It’s not about the chocolates or the flowers—it’s about reclaiming time for just us. Because even when the house is full, it’s easy to feel like we’re passing ships, buried in everyone else’s needs.

So this Valentine’s Day, let’s dream a little. If you could have one kid-free getaway—just you and your person—where would you go? 💭💙

💕 Tag your man if it’s time to make that trip happen.

❤️

You start with a perfectly planned, color-coded packing list, ready to conquer family travel like a boss. Fast forward to reality:
✔ Your kid packed a rock collection and one shoe.
✔ Your spouse threw in a swimsuit and called it a day.
✔ You’re knee-deep in suitcase Tetris, sweating over zipper survival.
And yet… you forget your own underwear?! (Been there, done that. Thank you, Target!)

Let’s talk about the chaos of packing—because it’s a delicate balancing act between “prepared” and “we're moving out.” Read all about it over on this weeks blog.
