Happy Wanderlust Wednesday! I'm super excited for today's post because I just had the most wonderful staycation with my mama friends this past weekend. We were celebrating one of my best friends who is moving back out of the country next month and so it was a very special weekend. The Dream Inn Santa Cruz was the perfect location for our staycation. We had amazing ocean view rooms, were provided the best customer service, and had a wonderful mom slumber party staying up WAY TOO LATE! Ever since The Dream Inn underwent a ... Read more...
JIFU: Best Travel Booking Site for Deeply Discounted Travel
Who has travel more as one of their New Years goals for 2019? I know for me, I'd love to travel the world!! I caught the travel bug years ago but in the more recent years, since having my son, we haven't been able to go on that many big trips as a family. So let's make 2019 the year for travel! Original post What's the main reason why you don't travel as often as you'd like? Is it because you don't have the time? Or is it because travel is expensive?

Mansur Gavriel Cafe Flora
During my last trip to Los Angeles for a conference I carved away some time to meet up with some of my blogger friends. I tend to have a bucket list a mile long for each visit with too little time to do it all. But I was so happy when one of my meet ups led me right around the corner from Mansur Gavriel on Melrose Place. The boutique has a cafe integrated into it, called Cafe Flora, so not only was I able to ooh and aww over all the pretty things, I was able to enjoy an espresso outside in their garden. This spot is seriously so cute, ... Read more...
Kimpton Goodland Hotel Review
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, Justin and I spent last weekend in Santa Barbara. We stayed at the Kimpton Goodland hotel in Goleta. When I'm booking a hotel in any destination I'm always drawn to unique decor. I love that Kimpton hotels are also unique to their location. The surfboard hanging in the hotel lobby, record shop sporting some major vinyl, wood detailing on the restaurant bar, and morning poolside yoga are all some of the reason why I loved staying at this hotel. Justin and I years ago took a trip to Huntington ... Read more...
