Thinking about traveling the world? Featuring our travel adventures from around the world.
Our weekend in Paris kicked off our week-long adventure through France. Our next stop is where we would be spending the rest of our week basking in the sun (and heat!) of Nice. We had an amazing time. Like our Paris itinerary, I filled our days with tourist attractions, but made sure to take it at a slower pace and throw in relaxation all around. Here are some things to…
We recently traveled to France and spent a short time in Paris before heading to Nice for the remainder of our week. While we wished we had some more time in Paris, I built a just-right itinerary to hit all the spots in the short time we had available to us. This is how we saw a piece of Paris in thirty six hours. The idea of this trip has…
We took our first big, family vacation to Disney World! Everyone had such a great time and it really was an amazing trip. This is our Ultimate Disney Vacation Recap where I will share all the things about our trip. My goal for this recap is to share the tips I found along the way, helpful things to pack, and our general experience staying at a Disney World Resort. What…
arAt the end of a vacation, no one wants to say they wished they had more time to see [insert tourist attraction]. However, the last thing you want to do is jam pack your itinerary and not experience your destination “in the moment.” But, Brian, how can I do this? Plan, plan, plan. Is it that easy? No. You need to research your destination. Figure out what you want to…
This Hot Mana Hot Sauce giveaway ended Wednesday, 1/24/18. Thank you to everyone who entered! You guys, we’ll never be done talking about Hawaii. My cousin (the one living in Hawaii) starting crafting a deliciously-hot hot sauce a few months ago. Her first few batches sold out faster than you can say, “Maui”. It was hard for her own family to get a bottle of this stuff! But we were able…
Fall is my favorite season. But not being consumed in nature has made me miss that fall feeling. Yes, we can walk through Central Park and experience the fall foliage. But it’s just not the same when you’re living in the ‘burbs. So, I fill my life with PSLs, apple pie, pumpkin bread, and apple cider donuts. This year, I wanted to plan out a day where Fatima and I could:…
Here’s our Ultimate Guide to Maui complete with adventures, food, and must-see spots! We curated a Google Map with everything below so you can explore the island with our help. Maui was a vacation we’ll never forget. The island is so beautiful, the people are so welcoming, and we were the most relaxed we’ve been in a while. I grouped places and activities below by location (except for snorkeling). This…
Going to Hawaii? Wait! Check out our favorite places to eat on Maui! We had an amazing vacation. So much so, we had to recreate Julia’s Banana Bread and are still trying to make some of the food we had there. We explored the island with my cousin and her husband. They brought us to some of the best local eateries and gave us some of the best recommendations. From breakfast…
While we were in Maui, banana bread was everywhere. For two people who love fall and are counting down the days until then, this was a treat. One of our first encounters with banana bread was at the Old Lahaina Luau. We got a loaf as a gift at the end of the night. It was heavenly. From that moment on, we saw banana bread everywhere. However, we had our…
When we planned our trip to Hawaii, we wanted to stop in Los Angeles to sight see and break up the trip. But what were we going to see with such little time? We knew we wanted to see Hollywood, a movie/tv exhibit, the Hollywood sign, and the Pacific Ocean. You know, the touristy highlights. We started doing research, consulted some friends and coworkers, and planned out the trip. We…
It seems like we’ve been talking about this vacation for at least year now. But we’re finally headed to Maui! One part wedding, one part vacation. A few years ago, my cousin dropped everything and moved to Maui. Now, she’s getting married on Sunday! For us, it’s kind of like a destination wedding. We put together this Ultimate His and Hers Travel Packing List for Maui so we wouldn’t forget…
Summer is right around the corner. Thinking about what to do this summer, we’re overwhelmed. There’s so much to do in New York City! However, the summer weather is unpredictable. One day it will be beautiful and the next it will rain. We’re here to help you with some options. Here are some of our favorite things to do in New York City, rain or shine. Rain or Shine: There are so many things to do…
This post and outfit is brought to you by our friends at Lovita & Co. Sundays for Brian and me mean long walks through Central Park, frozen yogurt, pizza, my favorite outfit and lots of laughs. We both work downtown, so on the weekends we stay local and avoid all touristy areas. The hustle and bustle of downtown can be draining and a break from that is much-needed on the weekends. Plus,…
Here are 5 DIY Projects to share you travel adventures. Where will your travel plans take you in 2017? Last year, we ended up in London. It was mostly Fatima on business with me tagging along. But in the 36 hours of free time we had to explore, we covered every inch of that city. We woke up early, put on our sneakers and began walking. This year, it’ll be Maui…
Did you know May was National Photo Month? Now that we’re settled into our new place (more on that soon!) we wanted to refresh our DIY Instagram Photo Collage we put together last year. Since then, we visited Cabo, London, Orlando, celebrated birthdays, and discovered new brunch places. Our favorite destination, by far, was Orlando because we explored Diagon Alley and Hogwarts/Hogsmeade in Universal Orlando’s The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Refreshing…
After a beachless summer last year, we vowed to try to make this summer full of beach weekends. We won’t count our week in Cabo as part of this challenge, but we made the effort to get to the beach twice. Yes, TWICE! Living in NYC, we are surrounded by beaches in Connecticut, New Jersey, Long Island, and even right here in the city. Our first #beachweekend was at Coney Island…
