We have definitely been spending much more time ou We have definitely been spending much more time outdoors these days since we began our 3 month road trip on our yellow school bus. Charlie’s been loving checking out all of the flowers in all of the different areas so we decided to bring a little life into our bus and add some fresh flowers for the season. You already know there’s nothing I love more than flowers in my home. #ad Air Wick Scented Oils has partnered with World Wildlife Fund to reseed one billion square feet of native wildflower and grassland habitats in the Northern Great Plains, one of the largest natural ecosystems in the U.S., over the next three years.

Walt Disney World (Florida) or Disneyland (Califor Walt Disney World (Florida) or Disneyland (California)? We visited Disneyland California for the first time ever and the simple answer is we absolutely loved it. If you’re deciding between the 2, here’s what you should take into consideration. The biggest benefit to choosing Florida is the size of it. Walt Disney World has 4 parks instead of 2 and they’re all much larger than the ones in California. Basically, there’s a lot more to do. If you’re planning a long trip then this is the way to go. There’s also more wow factor in Florida. The rides are better and newer. The princess castle is almost 3 times the size of the one in Disneyland. Everything is bigger and better in Florida. As for Disneyland California, it’s small and that’s my favorite part! For the first time ever Charlie was able to walk a whole theme park. In Orlando she won’t even make it half way. Disneyland is smaller and everything is really close together, so you can get from one ride to another in a minute instead of having to go on a long walk. With a little kid it’s much more doable. Another reason we loved Disneyland is that the wait times were much shorter. I’ve heard that it’s usually like that. Kids get impatient with the long wait times so this was a huge factor for me. We spent about 6 hours at Disneyland and we got to ride 13 rides. We never do that much in Florida! Also, we saw lots of characters during our visit to Disneyland. We’ve been to the Orlando parks at least a dozen times since covid and we saw more characters the 1 day in Disneyland than we’ve seen in all of our Orlando visits since covid. Finally, the weather is a huge one. In general California has much better weather. It’s not as hot. It’s not humid. It doesn’t rain often. Unless you’re planning to visit Florida in the winter, the weather will most likely be better in California. I honestly think the weather is why we lasted so many hours. In Florida this time of year we’re sweating before making it in the gates. Either way, Disney is incredible and you’re going to have a great time! But if you’re picking between the 2… these are the best things to consider and of course how far you live from them.
The one great shot we got on that extra windy day The one great shot we got on that extra windy day in San Francisco ❤️ We had been in Sonoma Valley during the day and it was hot out so we were in dresses. By the time we got to San Fran it was pretty cold and insanely windy. Let’s just say we weren’t dressed properly anymore. In every photo my hair is up in the air and I’m struggling to hold my short flowy skirt. But at least we got a cute one of Charlie, wind in her hair and all.
Save this post if you’re doing a road trip in Mo Save this post if you’re doing a road trip in Montana because this place is a gem! This spot in Hungry Horse Reservoir is not only gorgeous, but we had it all to ourselves 2 trips in a row. On our first big road trip in 2019 we met another bus and the guy told us about a nearby spot that was amazing. We took his word for it and headed there just with the coordinates. He wasn’t kidding. This amazing piece of heaven was ours and only ours. 2 years later on our current road trip, we had to go back. We stayed for 2 days and 1 of the days we were all alone again. The other campers we saw there the first day said they found it on a dispersed camping app… it’s on IOverlander and Dyrt. This is called Flossy Creek and located in Hungry Horse Reservoir. In 2019 it took us over an hour to get there because it was a long dirt road, now most of the main road has been paved, making it a much quicker drive. The end part is still a dirt road and the turn off to get down there is a tight dirt road with tight turns. This is still my favorite dispersed camping spot, 2 trips in a row. Make sure you don’t miss it if you’re heading to Montana!
What a difference 2 years makes, but at the same t What a difference 2 years makes, but at the same time, so much is exactly the same. Our first big bus trip was summer 2019 (almost exactly 2 years ago). The 2nd and 3rd photo are from our 2019 road trip. Both times Oregon has had some seriously dreary weather but we got a break and some pretty decent visibility when we got to the famous Cannon Beach. Both times it’s been extra cold out which doesn’t stop Charlie from enjoying the beach. Both times she’s run right into the waves and been so happy, even though the water is freezing. But visibly so many things are different. Charlie is huge and oh so independent. She doesn’t need my help. She’s got this! She’s grown up so much and changed so much in these last 2 years. She’s gone from a baby to a independent big girl. I’m loving being able to experience this with her at different stages in her life. She might not remember all of these trips but they are helping make her into the woman she will be one day. I just pray she always loves exploring and learning. It’s a big beautiful world we live in.
My favorite morning yet 💛 We woke up to the mos My favorite morning yet 💛 We woke up to the most magical morning in Hungry Horse Reservoir in Montana. Not only did we have this beautiful spot to ourselves but this happened. The warm water flowing in from the creek caused the steam right above the water, which was just perfect with that sunrise light. I took this picture on my iPhone from inside the bus. By the time I got my sweater and shoes on to go outside the sun had peeked over the mountains and it just wasn’t the same. So glad I was able to experience this even if it was for a split second from our bed. This is what’s so magical about traveling on the bus… you get to experience things like this.
People always tell me that Charlie looks just like People always tell me that Charlie looks just like me and I always say I don’t see it. Well today, I see it. I’ve always thought she was a mix of both of us, but in this picture she’s definitely a mini me. Maybe it’s the big sunglasses and the matching mask chain, but she’s definitely a miniature version of her mama today.

If you’ve been watching my stories you already k If you’ve been watching my stories you already know that Yellowstone is my least favorite national park. Yesterday we stopped at the Grand Prismatic Spring and this was really cool to see. It’s not what I was expecting from pictures I had seen online, but it was beautiful. If we could just get rid of the crazy crowds it would have been perfect 😂 Have you been to Yellowstone? What did you think? And I’d love to know… what’s your favorite national park and your least favorite?
Disney House Details! Our Beauty & the Beast raili Disney House Details! Our Beauty & the Beast railing is probably my favorite detail in the entire house and what I feel in love with when I first toured the home. The railing was custom made to include characters from the movie. Look closely… how many do you find? Our Disney home was included in an publication on @refinery29! Make sure you check it out. It’s linked in my bio.

Found the best photo spot in Bryce Canyon and it’s so easy to get to. We took the shuttle to Inspiration Point. At first we hiked from Inspiration Point up to the first viewpoint, but we then turned around and hiked down to Sunset Point. Half way between Inspiration Point and Sunset Point there’s this piece that sticks out and is the perfect spot for photos without taking any risks. It’s a wide piece of flat land that you can walk out onto and it makes it look like you’re a part of all the hoodoos. The hike is less than a mile and mostly on flat land so it’s perfect to do even with children, but make sure you don’t miss this spot for your photos. If you take the shuttle, you can get back on it at Sunset Point. In Utah the red rocks are endless but they’re so beautiful.
