Simply put, this is how I would describe my time visiting Oahu, Hawaii.
Life is meant for the living and let me tell you that over here they are not afraid of taking risks. Before I get into the best of the best during our visit to Oahu, Hawaii…
A quick note…Oahu is insanely beautiful and there are many great outdoor activities to choose from. However, being that we also wanted some time to relax, enjoy the beach, swimming and some fun pool time with the kids, we did not explore the other Hawaiian islands. But I would definitely recommend at least visiting 2 of them because it is GORGEOUS especially if you’re not planning on coming back anytime soon….lordy lord those are long flights with kids….

”I don’t want to have kids because I want to travel”
This statement could not be any more wrong. Yet, I hear it soooooo often, and it’s the number one thing that gets us nervous when we usually think of traveling with young kids.
Do you squeak like a dolphin whenever you think ”well, I want to travel but….I have young kids”
What’s your story?
Did she tell you this?… scenario number 1
Are you one of those moms that socializes at mommy groups. You know the place where moms happily shares their mom undereye bags stories and secretly compares their child’s motor skills and natural abilities to the other ones. Then, a comment about our childless friends might slip into the conversations because honestly, we can all relate to this subject one way or another.
True story, one mom said that her ”friends without kids” would lovingly look at her kids and say” your kids are soo cute, ahhhh you should have more”. Then she replied: ”why don’t you have some then” , that’s when it happened…”no way, we want to travel, kids aren’t for us….but yours are sooo adorable!” Yep, that answer is becoming a natural pairing like salt & pepper, couples and traveling.
OR did she tell you this? ….scenario number 2
The instructor of the zipline told me that she was engaged. A very fit, petite, funny and late twenties, I’d bungee jump looking kinda women. As soon as she heard that we had left our 2 young kids at the airbnb with my parents so we could do an activity together, like fire burning her toes, she immediately added that ”I’m not ready for kids, I want to travel before any kids”
Yes, traveling before having babies launch out of you is great but don’t fall into the ”i’m doomed to stay at home or only visit relatives and friends” lifestyle if that is not your hearts desire.
Comments closedTraveling with kids can be a wonderful experience if you let go of expectations and carry a well-packed mommy bag.
Imagine if you could take, let’s say a basic tshirt in your closet and create a dozen different looks around it….
…well you can and today I am giving you an example of how I wore 1 tshirt with black pants and styled it a few different ways.
Who doesn’t want to be able to make that tshirt go a long way by wearing it multiple ways ….yep no one will be telling you ” you’re wearing that again?” or ”don’t you ever wash your clothes…” because by wearing it with different things in your closet, no one will focus on that ONE piece but look at your overall style and say ”Wow, that looks good on you!”
This is your chance to have fun and stretch your creativity muscles a bit.
So today, I hope that you can get inspired to take one of your pieces or even the one that you are bored with and wear it differently.
Don’t overthink it…just try something.
So let’s get started….

Because they are soo darn cute!
Unlike other celebrated day of the year, Valentine’s Day inspired/themed baby clothing can be worn any day of the year.
Hearts, Bows, Arrows, Sparkles, Red, Pink or White, these details and colors are always cute on babies anytime.
Let’s be honest, sometimes the style is so cute that you don’t want to risk it being sold out. However, I usually prefer to shop and wear later even a few Valentine’s Day inspired baby\toddler styles once the sales hits.
We all know that the cutest outfits are usually for the little girls but…

It’s simple.
It keeps you warm.
Here are a few key pieces to take your winter style from looking like a Michelin snowman to ”oh, hey there good looking!” and that’s your inner voice doing the talking.
Most days it isn’t usually -20 degrees (or -4 Farenheit) like what we have been getting this week (which we basically need to look like walking hot dog to survive, hello puffy winter coat). HOWEVER, most days we can actually look pretty good rocking our winter clothing by simply adding a few key layering pieces.
