I don't know about you, Reader, but I am looking forward to spring. And for my kids, Spring Break is just over a week away! If you don't have spring break plans, I have a few last-minute ideas.

And, like I mentioned last week, camping and renting an RV is still a fantastic option. When you rent with RVShare, you can save $40 with this link and code RVSBOOST40. Here's a few of...

Hey friends, I don't know about you, but I'm deep into making my summer plans. When I had teens, I had to schedule ahead of time to get on their calendars. Now that my oldest is 21 (today!)

I've partnered with RVShare a few times in the past and I'm definitely looking forward to browse the rigs in some of our favorite...

Hey friend, Currently, I'm traveling through Arizona and have taken no less than 1000 pictures of the Grand Canyon. (I may be exaggerating by a few hundred.) Either way, all those gorgeous photos take up space on my phone and I literally ran out of room as I was taking some behind-the-scenes videos. I have an Apple phone, but I use Google Photos as my photo storage. I find that the price of storage outweighs the cost of iCloud storage. Here's how I do it. I have the Google Photos app on my...

Hey friend, “Don’t listen to what they say. Go see.”– Chinese Proverb I’m sharing the above quote because it really inspires me. It reminds me that others' judgements or perceptions about a place, a people, a culture, do not inform what I believe. With so much talk about unchecked social media and radical changes in our government, that proverb reminds me that what we see on our screens is not the whole truth. It reminds me to meet new people, experience new cultures, and witness new...

Hey Reader,. I’m sitting in my home office, binge-watching Gilmore Girls, and writing you. It’s been scary week watching the wildfires in Los Angeles. I know all of our hearts are going to the victims of this tragedy. From my friends that are there, they are feeling the outpouring of love and community. Anyway, I’ve also been spending a lot of time on figuring out how to help and wanted to send you over a few things that I saw that I think you’d like as much as me. World Central Kitchens is...
