I wanted to make history come alive for Ollie and what better place than in Philadelphia, USA? #MarriottHotelsPartner
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Our stay at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown created the perfect opportunity to really explore the heart of this historical city. From the Liberty Bell to Franklin Square, we really dove into the heart and culture of Philadelphia.
After a day of exploring, we were treated with some of Philadelphia’s finest delicacies at Marriott’s Thirteen Restaurant.
We stayed cool on our trip by bowling a few games at Liberty Lanes, the hotel’s on-site, retro bowling alley. Did I mention there was even an arcade??
And after a long day, we were soothed by the many comforts and amenities Marriott has to offer.
Traveling with little ones isn’t always easy, but being a Marriott Bonvoy member truly
makes it so much smoother.
From comfy cribs already in the room to friendly staff who actually get what traveling with a toddler is like, Marriott Hotels takes so much stress off our trips. It’s the little things that make a big difference when you’re on the go with a little one!
Thank you for the stay @MarriottHotels!

THIS is my travel sidekick I cannot fly without 👇
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Did you know that 1 in 4 flights are delayed or canceled? It’s enough to make you go mad… unless of course you have @airhelp!
AirHelp is a flight & claim tracker app that is a complete lifesaver on travel days helping me...
✔️ Track unlimited flights (no ads, no limits)
✔️ Get real-time updates for gates, terminals, and baggage claim details
✔️ Receive automatic alerts if I’m eligible for flight compensation
✔️ See my travel history log with a built-in travel map (my favorite part)
Honestly, I wish I had this app sooner! It would’ve been a game-changer on long-haul flights with my toddler. Whether you’re a frequent flyer or just planning your next adventure, this is one of the smartest tools you can have on your phone.
Download the @airhelp app today and fly with peace of mind.

Here are just some of my favorites in Paris—be sure to save this for your next visit!

This might be the last car seat you’ll ever need 👇
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
We’ve trusted @cybex_usa since Ollie was a newborn. Through flights, road trips, and every adventure in between, @cybex_usa has been with us around the world.
As a first-time parent, I admittedly went through more car seats than needed. Now, there’s the Callisto G 360. 🙌
It’s designed to work from newborn up to double digits, which means no more swapping seats at different stages.
This seat features 360° rotation, a one-time install, and SensorSafe alerts, making travel days and everyday drives so much easier (and safer!) 💛

Night dives are scary… until they’re not. 🌙🤿
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I used to think they were terrifying—it actually took me almost 50 dives before I built up the courage to do my first one. But now? I’m convinced there’s nothing more magical underwater.
What makes them so amazing is how different the ocean feels at night—you’ll see a whole new cast of marine life, from squid glowing like shooting stars in the dark to nocturnal creatures like octopus and lobsters emerging from their hiding places, and even manta rays depending on where you are in the world. ✨
On a recent trip to the Maldives with @tbaescapes, I had the chance to do a night dive with manta rays—easily one of the most incredible experiences of my life. You drop torches into the water, squid glowing like stars shimmer in the glow, and then the mantas come swooping in. They flip, spin, and dance above you in the dark… it honestly feels otherworldly.
Safe to say, I’ll never pass up a night dive again. 🖤
