Do I look as tired as I feel?!? 😆

3 flights, one of those being a 9 hour red eye.

3 kids, who are troopers… but it’s still traveling with kids.

3 hours of sleep, and I think that’s a generous assumption. 😩

3 backpacks that no one wanted to carry because they were too tired and too hungry.

But in just 3 hours we will finally be in a place I’ve always dreamed of visiting!

I CAN NOT WAIT!!

We love Freeze pops!

So, I made the girls these adorable freeze pop sleeves to stop their hands from getting so cold.

They fit our favorite @BJsWholesale exclusive Wellsley Farms Freeze Pops perfectly. We just placed an order for curbside pickup with BJ’s and now we are all stocked up!

I don't know what’s a better #momhack, the freeze pop sleeves or the convenience of curbside pickup 😉

✨Cheers to 38!✨

These girls have showered me with love today and I’m just so lucky to have them and a great husband and family to make this day truly special!

Breakfast in bed and a special lunch at home is exactly what I needed… and in just a few days we will be celebrating in Italy and then Germany a few days after that! And that’s why a quiet birthday is needed 😉 who wants to come and help me pack?!?

I still can’t believe it’s happening. It’s the best gift a girl could ask for!

✨Did you hear the news?!?✨ Today on Live I sh

✨Did you hear the news?!?✨

Today on Live I shared something pretty big for our family.

We have been dreaming about this for years, and planning it for months, and up until a few weeks ago I questioned if it would really happen.

In a little over a week, the 5 of us will be traveling to EUROPE FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH!!!

Yup you read that right, a month!

This dream all started in 2008 when scott and I decided that we should backpack Europe. We took our two week honeymoon, quit our jobs, missed our return flight, and spent the next 4 months exploring. On the flight home we met a family, doing the same thing we were, but with their young kids and we knew we wanted that one day.

This trip isn’t going to look at all like that trip did years ago. No hostels and unplanned visits to countries we know nothing about.

But it is going to be filled with family! Seeing my sister and watching her become a mother, meeting my nephew, taking my girls to try real pizza, and see sights their little eyes have never seen. Teach them German words and how good bratwursts really are. This might look different but it’s still a version of our dream we so desperately need and want!

We are not naive. We know that this trip is going to be difficult… long travel days and lots of complicated requirements… and honestly I’ve had some really rough, anxiety filled days. But I just keep reminding myself that good things don’t come easily and this is truly what’s meant for us.

So what you see from my page might look a bit different these next few weeks but I hope you will stick around and follow us on this incredible adventure!

Dreams really do come true 🌈

As I put her to bed, she grabbed my cheeks and said
“Mama you make me the happiest”
And in that moment my heart melted into a puddle.
Hazel you make me the happiest ✨🌈

Saturday’s are for snacks and shopping…

Well more snacks than shopping. We had all kinds of treats and right as I attempted to do a bit of shopping the girls decided they wanted to tag team and make it nearly impossible 🤣
I miss the days of pushing them in a stroller, with snacks to distract them, while I could get some errands done.

While we were out we got to see the @drinkjove truck in action! They will be in tampa until the 20th so keep an eye out to get free samples, swag, coupons, and prizes! Ybor today and Armature works on Tuesday. This new alkaline bottled water is clinically shown to provide deep hydration for skin and cellular health through its Advanced Cellular Hydration Technology™ #sponsored #drinkjove #jovewater #happycellshappybody #hydratinglife

I treated the girls to a mommy and me spa day and after a crazy week it's the perfect way to reconnect.

Face masks and painting nails. Bath bombs and bubbles.

We finished it off with our favorite @zestsoap products from the new Power of Zest line and felt so Zestfully clean! Their new Power of Zest line has so many fun scents, each of my girls could pick their favorite! It was such a fun way to end the best day.

Family travel vlog - Central Florida. This trip was such an action packed one, full of first time experiences, and plenty of fun!

Head to the blog later today to get the full recap of our entire trip!

We just got back from the most amazing trip! And it very well might be one of our most unique and adventurous trips yet!

What blows my mind is we didn’t even have to go very far. Less than an hour drive and we were able to go on a safari and feed wild animals, learn to wakeboard/kneeboard by the best instructors, have gourmet meals on a budget, stay in our own private cabin, and more!
When I say I was completely blown away by how much fun we had in @visitcentralfl I mean it!
I can not wait to share these hidden gems and show you how much fun we had!

✨ our summer routine ✨

I felt I was a little naive to think I could have a relaxing laid back summer 🤣
after 3 days of this so called “relaxing summer” I realized that meant complete chaos.

My girls just do better on a routine so I tried to find something that had the balance of an easy summer while also giving them a bit of structure.

I shared in stories today how this new routine is really working for us and i hope it can help you too!
It’s been about 3 weeks and I feel like it’s something we can keep up all summer long.
