✨ Here's our honest review of the experience!

The Margaritaville at Sea cruise was packed with excitement and fun. Find out if it's the perfect getaway for your next family vacation.

Our itinerary for our 3 days 2 nights girls trip to Moorea is up on our blog ✨

I feel like we did a lot! I talk about how we took the ferry from Tahiti over with our rental car. Where we stayed, where we ate & what we did.

We took a snorkel excursion, pool pass for a day at the Hilton. Stopped by coral gardeners HQ, went pearl shopping and went to a private Motu for more snorkeling.

Of course we did a ton more when Alex and Addy joined us but wanted to get the 3 days out so it helps you plan a trip to Moorea! You have to do at least a day on the island if you're planning a French Polynesia trip.

Gong Xi Fa Cai 🐲✨🧧Hope You Get Rich!😉👌🏽

It was our first year getting to experience this tradition. Found all of our Chinese Zodiac animals and what they mean.

This year is the year of the Dragon 🐉. We loved seeing the temple and getting to celebrate in Malaysia. What’s your animal?

Exploring Singapore’s vibrant streets! 🌈

19 Koon Seng Road. Known for its colorful houses, showcase the best of Straits Eclectic architecture, a treasure reflecting the city’s rich cultural heritage. The bat-shaped windows are iconic and through the design of them they take you back in time. I’m in love with these homes! 💖✨

If you're planning a visit to Bali consider treating yourself to a delicious lunch at the Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. Dining at the Sawah Terrace is an incredible experience!

And a great way to try some local cuisine. We really enjoyed the family style dining, being able to try many variations of traditional Indonesian meals. The girls really loved trying the new foods and it was a fun way to experience this as a family.

We had a view of the river watching the rafters go by and that was pretty entertaining too! Everything about this lunch was amazing.

After we ate we were able to walk the gorgeous property! Highly recommend eating here if you want a cultural experience with your family while in Ubud! 🌾

This sanctuary is part of the Ritz-Carlton Reserve collection of properties. It's special and we hope to stay one day in the future 💖

✨Videos of the experience are on our insta

Stayed at one of the prettiest family friendly villas ever on our trip to Bali!

📍Villa Moana Canggu, Bali Indonesia

The family friendly villa is huge with 6 bedrooms. We LOVED how kid friendly it was. They had a bunkbed & toys for Audrey. Super close to the beach and local trendy places to eat. Highly recommend .moana.canggu if you’re planning a Bali family vacation.

✨Oh and we had our first floating breakfast experience that was so special 💖

Did you know that I used to be a ?! 🤪

Well who am I kidding…I still am! 🤪I was editing some photos from past parties for a current brand collab and realized I don’t think I’ve ever really shared that I love to plan parties with y’all!?

These are some photos of ones I’ve put together in the past! I was very limited on my budget so they’re not like crazy out of this world or anything. Just simple yet I LOVED putting them together…

As a creative it’s a piece of me that I kind of miss… I still curate party printables for our Etsy shop so no worries there but just thought I’d share a little of what I’m working on & a little of me! 🥰

We stayed in one of the coolest resorts nestled in between these epic cliff dwellings!

📍Bluff Dwellings Resort & Spa ✨

If you’re planning a trip to Monument Valley you’ll want to stay here!

It’s super family friendly, with a playground on property, pool with slide & a hot tub. They have everything you need with a cafe (Cedar Shack) to get breakfast lunch and dinner at. The shop inside had plenty of options for snacks and drinks and the staff was just incredibly kind and friendly to us.

The location is beautiful, the rooms were spacious and clean with views of the surrounding landscape and came with fire pits to use in the evening. 🌌🔥

Lodging prices were fair if not better than some of the other offerings in the area & overall we loved it. 100% staying here again if we’re every back in Monument Valley 💖

🌴 Embracing Family Vibes at Hotel Valley Ho 🏨✨⁠

When it comes to family getaways, Hotel Valley Ho in Scottsdale, AZ, stole our hearts. From chic rooms with direct pool access to a savoring scrumptious breakfast, every moment was about creating cherished memories. 🏊‍♂️🍳 And let's not forget those picture-perfect spots around the hotel that added a dash of magic to our stay. Swipe to see the smiles and fun! 😄📸 ⁠

🌵 Wrapping up our Baja escapade as we head north to embrace fresh adventures! 🚗💨 ⁠

and we're diving into exciting new changes. After docking our boat in Puerto Peñasco, we said "bye" to the waves and "hello" to land life again. 🛳️🏡 ⁠

We had to fly back to La Paz to grab our truck and then dove into a house-sitting venture for the past 3 weeks & just relaxed. Now, we're crossing back into the States for our next house-sitting journey, and adding two unexplored cities to our map. 🌆🗺️ ⁠

Stay tuned for the rollercoaster of adventures ahead! 🎢✨ because once you find out what we're planning next you may think we're a little crazy 😜⁠

It's close to the beach, it's by some good restaurants and the place comes with some pretty friendly pups on property. ⁠

LMK if you have any questions 🤙🏽✨⁠

Embracing Paradise, one moment at a time 🌴🌊✨

From horseback riding through sandy shores to beachcombing for hidden treasures, to watching the girls laughter as they went down the water slide a bazillion times… we soaked up every moment! Sipping pool side drinks and relaxing on the lazy river floats… we definitely found the perfect weekend escape!

Had no idea this was here so close to Puerto Escondido & Arizona otherwise I think we would have got up here quicker! 😆

Out of all the places we’ve been in Mexico… If you haven’t been to Mexico before I’d 100% recommend planning here for a first experience. Especially if you’re closely by in Arizona, Texas or California 🥰

Thanks for hosting us! We had a great time 💖

Glad You’re Here

If you didn’t already know, the most exciting thing we are currently doing is building our sailboat. I know it sounds crazy but we are so excited to live a life out of the ordinary.

What kind of Sailboat did we get?

Glad you asked! We purchased a Wharram Raka 36′ Catamaran, as seen above. That’s a sketch of our sailboat!

The coolest things about these boats are that they are made of wood, you can beach them, and their design is heavily influenced by the Polynesian culture.
