Hello & Happy September! August was a pretty exciting month around here. We got back from an amazing 10-day trip to Norway, and overall, it was fabulous. We also somehow lucked out with the weather. Norway tends to get quite a bit of rain, but we had several beautiful, sunny days during our trip. I definitely wasn’t complaining! I’m working hard on my Norway vlog now, and I’m hoping to start sharing a lot more from the trip in upcoming newsletters. There’s plenty to come because Norway gave...

Hey friends! After four straight months of catching flights, I’m officially taking a month off from traveling. Wisconsin finally decided to bring us some good weather, so I’m soaking up the sunshine, enjoying being home, and trying not to immediately open Google Flights out of habit. Small victories, right? This month, I’m leaning into local adventures, slower weekends, and maybe finally tackling a few Wisconsin spots that have been sitting on my “I live here, so why haven’t I done this yet?”...

Hey friends! I just got back from an amazing family vacation and can't wait to talk about and show you our experiences. We spent a couple days at Disney and then a week onboard the world’s largest cruise ship, Star of the Seas. It was such a fun mix of high-energy park days and relaxing time at sea. We went to Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot, and somehow packed a lot into just a few days. It was one of those trips filled with great weather, lots of laughs, and so many memories...

Hey friends! I can’t believe it’s already April. March felt like a whirlwind in the best way, and it honestly flew by. I kicked things off at tennis sectionals in Indianapolis, which was such a fun time. Then Andrew and I headed to Vegas for a long weekend with friends. This was my fifth time in Vegas, but somehow my first time checking out Fremont Street, and it definitely lived up to the hype. Between that and walking miles on the Strip, it was full-on Viva Las Vegas energy the entire time....
