A few months ago I was browsing Kayak for flights (as I do regularly) and I found ridiculously cheap direct flights to Dublin. We had been talking about doing a Europe trip with Kennedy this year and figured this was our chance for an Ireland adventure. Delaney is as Irish as it gets so Nate was excited to see the land of his ancestors! In our old life we were pretty spontaneous travelers, planning as we went, and barely stopped...

It’s been a while, but we are still here! It’s crazy how the weeks and then months can pass by so quickly. Each day is a new adventure with Kennedy and I truly enjoy the days I can be home with her. That being said, I can get a little (lot) crazy about keeping her on a schedule which is great for her, but means we don’t get out a ton during the week, I was getting just a bit...

Last week we ventured out on our first family vacation. It was Kennedy’s first commercial flight, first international journey, and first wedding! Overall, I’d say it was a huge success. Of course I was stressed about it, but EVERYONE I talked to said the same thing, “This is the best time to travel!” So travel we did, 4 flights, 2 layovers, multiple cab rides, and only a few tears (probably more on my part than Kennedy’s, but that’s not important!)...

Before turning 30, I thought it was this huge deal. I wanted to just ignore it and move on with life. Now that 31 is here, I look back with my increased wisdom time on earth and laugh. For my birthday, I wanted to be out of the country on some adventure, to minimize the blow of this birthday milestone. After lots of brainstorming we decided on Thailand. I’ve never been to that part of the world and it was so intriguing...

Today feels all too familiar. I just got home from dropping Nate off at the airport. He’s headed to Maryland to start training for his new job. And I’m staying back in Seattle, alone. I might be a little rusty on how to do life alone, but I think it will come back quick. The dogs and I used to be pros. For the first half of our relationship, Nate was still on active duty. He was deployed for at...

When it’s been raining in Seattle for six months straight, and you and two friends all have a birthday within one month…you plan a trip to Palm Springs! A couple of months ago a good friend, Sheena sent a text out a text saying something along the lines of “I NEED SUN, let’s go somewhere” (that might be paraphrased.) A week later Sheena, myself, and another friend Des had our trip booked to sunny Palm Springs. It was still three months...
