Thank you, Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. For my birthday, I wanted to do something special.

We’ve lived in LA almost a year, but there are still so many areas we haven’t explored. Last weekend, we decided to check out Abalone Cove Shoreline Park and their tide pools. It was such a gorgeous drive, with amazing views. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, you should definitely check it out and…
You know when you’ve been somewhere so many times, but it feels like the first time? That’s how I felt on my most recent trip to New York. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been in the city, but this was the first time I was there while the leaves were changing. I…
I received discounted lodging at Beaches Resort in exchange for promotion. All opinions are my own. Last year, I went to Beaches Resort by myself to attend the Social Media on the Sand Conference.

I received discounted lodging to stay at Beaches Turks and Caicos. All opinions are my own. Most of the time, I can pack in 30 minutes or less and I usually nail it. I almost always wear just about everything in my bag, except maybe an extra pair of undies or shoes that I brought…

This post is sponsored by Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board. All opinions are my own. I can’t believe it’s already been two months since Ieft Puerto Vallarta. I’ve been lucky enough to travel to a lot of different place around the world, but very few of them have stuck with me like Puerto Vallarta has. There…
A few weeks ago, I traveled to Portland for work. Just like my last trip, I only had about 30 hours in the city. As I learned last time, it’s pretty amazing what you can do with 30 hours in a city. Since I was able to see so much last time, I decided to…
I received complimentary admission to Halloween at Disneyland. All opinions are my own. Last week, Disneyland invited me to attend their opening night of Oogie Boogie Bash at California Adventure Park. I’ve never been to Halloween at Disneyland or Disney World before, so I had no idea what to expect. What I did learn was…
This post is sponsored by the Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort and Spa and the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board. All opinions are my own. Full disclosure, I’m a Marriott fan.

Last week, I wrote about our time in the Twin Cities. We spent half of our trip at my sister’s house there. Then, we spent the next week at my parents’ house in Green Bay, WI, which is also my hometown. It was the first time I was home in 4 years and it was…
My sister lives in the twin cities. My kids and I visited for a couple weeks earlier this summer, so we had a chance to explore a lot both Minneapolis and St. Paul. I love visiting the Twin Cities in the summer because there is so much to do, especially with young kids. It was…
