Sandals Royal Bahamian Nassau, Bahamas Travel Guide
This year for our anniversary, we wanted to stay nearby but go on an all-inclusive tropical vacation. We chose Sandals in Nassau, Bahamas. We have had great experiences with other Sandals Resorts in the past, but to be fully honest, this is not the best Sandals Resort out there. We still had a great time and enjoyed the gorgeous Bahama blue water!
Girly Solar System Third Birthday Party
Journey to the MAYLEY Way Galaxy! Our baby girl turned 3 in July and I don’t want to talk about it! Haha! Too soon! She is very into the planets and outer space so we knew this year’s theme would be SOLAR SYSTEM! It was so fun to put together! We kept it pretty simple and had a few little fun things to pull it together, like the space themed sensory bins (the kids LOVED) and the bouncy house!
Maine Travel Guide: Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park

This year we traveled to Bar Harbor, Maine and explored Acadia National Park. In this guide, you’ll find all of our favorite restaurants and spots that are a must see and do!
Under the Sea Second Birthday Party
Mayley is two! I can’t believe I’m writing this post. I wanted to use this post as more of an inspiration post rather than linking to sources. Because, most everything came from Target and Hobby Lobby or local companies. Enjoy the inspiration photos of this adorable Under the Sea themed birthday party!
Sunset Key Cottages Key West, Florida Travel Guide
Sunset Key has amazing amenities like pools with a pool bar, beachside service, private beach with plenty of chairs and towels, a spa, and a couple of places to dine. You can also get grocery service delivered to your cottage. The cottages are in good shape for how long they’ve been there. I really enjoyed their cozy, beachy, Bahamian feel.
If you’re looking for somewhere that feels like you’re out of the country, but keeps you right inside the US, this is it!

Someone help me because I cannot believe I’m creating this post! MY BABY IS ONE! I truly do not know how this happened so fast. I had so much fun, actually way too much fun, planning her tropical puppy first birthday party and her styled birthday shoots (see these photos on my IG feed soon)! In this post, I will share all of those fun photos and party details.
Montana and Canada Travel Guide: From Glacier National Park to Banff National Park
When my husband and I got married, we made a commitment to get away for our anniversary each year. This started with our honeymoon and we’ve continued it since! It’s been so WONDERFUL for our marriage. I can’t say enough how crucial it is to get away, just the two of us, from the ebb and flow of every day life. It’s an investment worth making and we hold tightly to keeping this tradition throughout all our many years to come!
