    Hi i am planning on going to Ireland and Scotland between the middle of may to the beginning of June. Do you know what is the temps going to be like? I am a Miami girl… LOL so i would love to not bring so many clothes to keep me warm. i was wondering what kind of advice would you give to someone who is going almost two week.

    thanks! loving your website!

      Hey babe! I was actually in Ireland this past June and we got lucky and were greeted with quite a bit of sunshine and not much rain…at all! Which is kind of rare lol. I’d Google as you get closer and see what temps are estimated to be. I got by with some sundresses and jeans/tees, but it’s always subject to change, so bringing things you can layer (flannels and sweaters) would be a good idea—just in case. I hope that helps!

    The last time I was in Ireland was Summer of ’96. I brought my fiddle, rented a car and made my own itinerary starting with a week in Kilfenora. My favorite places to visit were places off the map – some hiking trails I liked, some beaches in Connemara and up the coast from there, some hikes near Sligo. I can’t name names, but I loved them all.

    Enjoy your blog!

Unforgettable memories from the ultimate girls’ weekend getaway—with 18 kids, sunshine, and pure luxury at @lascasitaspm 🌴✨

Las Casitas is managed by @vehm.mx, the premier property management company in Punta Mita. They oversee the most exclusive villas in the area, and every one of their properties is fully staffed and loaded with luxury amenities.

This gorgeous beachfront estate in the exclusive Kupuri community features three private casitas, 12 bedrooms, 13.5 bathrooms, a stunning infinity pool, hot tub, gym, and beach access. It’s designed for big groups, but feels intimate, relaxed, and totally elevated.

The real MVPs? The incredible full-time staff. We had a chef, sous chef, pastry chef, butler, concierge, and housekeeping—literally someone looking after our every need. Every meal was a gourmet experience, and every moment was effortless (which, with 18 kids, is saying a lot).

@vehm.mx helped us coordinate in-house massages for the mamas, and organized a piñata for the kids and a mariachi band to celebrate Oliver’s birthday THREE-esta!

Perfect for a 40th birthday, girlfriend getaway, or large family trip—we’re already planning our return. I can’t recommend it enough (or stop talking about it)!
