What to Do With All Those Summer Travel Photos 📸


Hey Reader,

If your phone is bursting with photos from summer trips, but they’re still stuck in your camera roll, you’re not alone.

I finally did something about ours, and I’m obsessed with how it turned out. I printed a bunch of our family photos with Mixtiles and created a gallery wall right next to our National Park pin map.

Here’s a peek of my wall. It’s the perfect combo of where we’ve been and who we were with.

That map was a Christmas gift, and now it finally feels complete with our faces next to our pins.

So, if you're wondering what to do with your own summer travel photos, here are a few ideas:

📌 Build Your Own Gallery Wall
Mixtiles are so easy—no frames, nails, or guesswork. Just peel and stick.
Get Mixtiles on Amazon

🗺 Pair with a National Park Pin Map
This is a great way to turn your travels into decor and keep inspiring future trips.
This is mine and I love how it looks!

🖨 Try an At-Home Photo Printer
If you want more flexibility, a mini printer is fun for scrapbooking or gifts.

👉 Here’s how I organize our vacation photos

Let’s turn those memories into something you see every day—not just swipe past in your camera roll.

Travel on!

Hi friend, If you are staring at your cart thinking, My teen does not need more stuff, you are not alone. When our kids get older, the gifts they remember most are the trips, the experiences, and the moments that feel different from every other day of the year. Not the sweater that went to the back of the closet on December 26. So this year, consider swapping a few “things” for an experience gift that turns into a future trip together. And the best part. None of these ideas needs to be...

Hey friend, If you’re craving a little extra family connection this holiday break, something easy, low-pressure, and actually fun for teens, try making a travel vision board together. We’ve done this for years, and it’s become one of my favorite ways to slow down and dream with my kids. No planning. No budgets. Just everyone tossing ideas on the table and seeing what sparks joy. And honestly? Some of our best trips started this way. My daughter’s graduation trip to Crater Lake. A Costa Rica...
