Two years ago when I was a “mummy” in Egypt 🐪
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
It’s kinda wild getting “this day X years ago” reminders now that I’m a mama. So much changes so quickly, it often feels like time is slipping away from me.
I’m not sure if anyone else feels this way, but I went from moving from Cape Town, to a global pandemic, to becoming a mama in the course of 2 years.
And, two years later, I definitely have imposter syndrome feeling like everything pre-2020 was a “past life.” It was my entire personality, so I’ve been going through a huge metamorphosis of mindset and identity over these past few years.
I’m not actually sure where I’m going with this, but this memory brought a lot of joy and I haven’t felt much like posting lately.
Life is filled with more joy than I’ve probably ever felt—but over the simpler things in life. And a lot of it is centered around being a mom. And sometimes it feels weird to share those every day moments of this “new” life I’ve been living since 2020.
Anyways, felt like ripping the bandaid by sharing something special to me with a little update since I’ve taken a pretty big break from social media.
❤️

We got the #AspenPlayhouse from @backyarddiscovery for Oliver for Christmas, and my parents helped paint it to match our house.
Photo 3 is our house. It looks so much like it!
The quality is amazing and it’s tall enough he can play in it for years to come.
He already plays in it so much—but I can’t wait for spring and summer! We customized it with foam flooring, some hanging baskets, a custom doormat, and lots of play food (he makes us about 5 servings of “hot” coffee and eggs every day lol)

Concerts are one of the most obvious “loud” environments where hearing damage can happen.
But let’s be real: traveling can be noisy AF sometimes – whether it’s crying babies or snoring men on the plane or just the hustle and bustle of a busy city.
With up to 30 dB of noise reduction, you can enjoy undisturbed sleep, enhanced focus during work or study sessions, and the ability to relax in noisy environments.
First off, how genius is the design? The curved shape perfectly fits your ear, blocking out all the unwanted noise without feeling like you’ve got something bulky shoved in there. The ergonomic design ensures a secure yet comfortable fit.
They’re also reusable and easy to clean, so you can say goodbye to those flimsy disposable ones that end up in a landfill —saving the planet *and* protecting your hearing. Yes, please!

So, whether you’re jet-setting across the globe or just trying to catch some Zzzs on your next road trip, do yourself a favor and snag a pair of these CURVD earplugs. Trust me, your ears will thank you later! 💖✈️ #ad
#EGPartner Every year, I like to put together a “travel bucket list” with inspiration for the coming year. @Expedia Group’s Unpack ’24 report was the perfect way to find out the latest travel trends for 2024 - thanks to @Expedia, @Hotelsdotcom, and @Vrbo!

Most of these bucket list items are not destination-specific, so I encourage you to use them as a launching pad for ideas, essentially some “choose your adventure” inspo!
🌟 Be a “Tour”ist: In 2023, Taylor Swift’s Eras and Beyoncé’s Renaissance tours’ cultural impact was undeniable, driving ticket sales, travel, and tourism. Expedia predicts that Tour Tourism will continue to thrive in 2024. If you’ve got a major concert or cultural experience on your bucket list, make 2024 your year to experience it!
🏠 Rent a Vacation Home: Since becoming a family of four (yes, we count our furbaby), we prioritize vacation homes whenever we travel. Last year, we stayed in an 18th-century farmhouse in Tuscany and a modern beachfront unit in Malibu. There’s something for everyone on @Vrbo! With separate bedrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, and living spaces, you can cook meals together, enjoy movie nights, and spend quality time together without feeling cramped or confined.
👯♀️ Take a Girls’ Trip: Are you itching to travel, but none of your friends are up for the adventure? Join @tbaescapes and go on a safari in South Africa, sail on a luxury Nile cruise in Egypt, witness the Petra in Jordan, go glamping in the Sahara Desert in Morocco, and discover one of the most remote wildlife destinations on earth, The Galapagos Islands!
🌏 Visit a Wonder of the World: Each of the wonders provides a unique and awe-inspiring experience, showcasing the ingenuity and creativity of humankind, and they are symbols of human achievement that stand the test of time. Make 2024 your year to visit the Great Pyramid of Giza or Machu Picchu!
