A few weekends ago Justin and I took Mason to North Lake Tahoe for the first time. We’ve been numerous times by ourselves, going on an annual trip with our friends, sans kids, so we decided it was time to see Lake Tahoe as a family. I knew this trip would be way different than our previous ones and I was looking forward to experiencing all the family fun that Northstar and North Lake Tahoe have to offer.

I love Lake Tahoe during the summer. Probably more than I love it in the winter. While it is a beautiful winter wonderland I’m much more of an outdoorsy person when the weather is warm. We did so many fun things during our long weekend away. We went to the lake two days out of the trip one day we played in the lake and hung out on the beach and the other we rented a paddle boat to take Mason out on the lake. He absolutely loved the paddle boat and it was so hard to get him to leave the lake each day.

We played games outdoors with Mason at Northstar and spent time at the pool at our hotel, Northstar Lodge. If you haven’t been able to tell yet, Mason loves the water. We also went on an easy hike around Northstar pushing Mason in his stroller. I loved getting workouts in while having family fun time. I would highly recommend taking the family to North Lake Tahoe. There’s a gorgeous gondola ride you can take from Northstar Lodge up to The Ritz-Carlton. The views are incredible and there is so much to do up at The Ritz. You don’t need to be staying there to take advantage of the outdoors spaces. They have a few different restaurants and a cafe. There are also games set up outside to entertain your little ones! Mason quickly made a friend when we went up for coffee our last morning in Tahoe, only to learn they were also from the Bay Area and were staying at the same resort as us.

Traveling as a family, we get to meet so many other families with kids around Mason’s age. I love that we get to meet and interact with so many more people when we’re traveling. Not to say that we aren’t social when it’s just the two of us, but having your child with you is such an easy way to strike up conversations with other travelers. And getting to see places we’ve been to before but through his eyes is a lot of fun too. Yes, it’s just like home in the sense that we experience meltdowns and times where he’s just not listening but overall I truly enjoy family travel!

If you have kids, do you prefer family travel or adult only vacations?!

Soaking in every bit of this pregnancy. That doesn Soaking in every bit of this pregnancy. That doesn't mean that it has been easy but just that I feel so incredibly blessed and fortunate to be able to do this again. My body is definitely more achy this time around and I feel so much more tired than I did when I was pregnant with Mason but those baby kicks are my absolute favorite and I know I'm going to miss them so much when baby is born.⁣

28 weeks & HELLO 👋 third trimester! I hope you 28 weeks & HELLO 👋 third trimester! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend 🐣 Mason had a special delivery from the Easter bunny 🐰 and we did some fun Easter activities including baking our favorite m&m cookies 🍪, attempted but failed at making birds nests out of rice krispy treats, did a small eater egg hunt, and Mason dyed some hardboiled easter eggs. Oh and Mason didn't change out of his easter jammies the easter bunny left for him all day, so we never got dressed in our Easter Sunday best. So much fun and memories were made but didn't really document much of it. Instead, we enjoyed being in the moment!
My sister-in-law said that my mani reminded her of My sister-in-law said that my mani reminded her of Easter 🐣 eggs and she's not wrong. I definitely wasn't thinking of that when I got this mani two weeks ago but with Easter right around the corner they definitely look like marble dyed Easter eggs. Luckily the growth isn't too bad so I can definitely go through the weekend without needing to get them redone...but after that I'll definitely be heading back to the nail salon for something new. 𝐀𝐧𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭??!

I've been looking for some maternity dresses for my maternity photoshoot as well as dresses I can wear for Easter, my baby shower (if I'm able to have one), and for a wedding I'm attending this summer. I got some of the dresses in that I ordered the other day so I figured I'd share them with you all to get your opinion on which ones are your favorite!
