    Loved this! So in love with your photos as well. Paris is beautiful and it’s definitely on my bucket list of places to travel. How long would you recommend to stay in Paris? Would a week be long enough? x

    • A week is definitely long enough to see the main sites!

    Hello! Greats tips! I will be taking my first solo trip (ever) to Paris (never been) in a few weeks (yippie !!) and I was wondering about cab/metro safety, especially at night. Any tips for solo female travelers?

      Hi Lupe! How wonderful! One of the gals on my team used to live in Paris 🙂 The metro is pretty safe to take – even at night, though you always do want to be aware of your surroundings. There are some sketchier parts of Paris though, so I would read up on areas to avoid at night, though as a whole I haven’t had any issues. One thing to note (and this might seem silly) but don’t smile on the metro – smiling can be seen as an invitation or flirting with someone, while it’s common in the US to maybe smile if you’re feeling uncomfortable. Also make sure to keep your purse/backpack zipped up and watch out for pickpockets. I hope that helps!

        Oh wow thank you for the heads up on smiling! I would’ve got myself into some trouble because I’m always smiling at everyone! I’m super excited for my trip!

          Have the best time!

We just returned from a bucket list sailing trip around the British Virgin Islands with @themooringsvacations — and it was an absolute dream come true!

If you aren’t looking for a vacation from the kids but from the cooking, cleaning, and responsibilities of everyday life, this is your sign!

Four moms, four kids, a crewed catamaran with a gourmet chef, a stewardess, and a captain that cook, clean and sail for you during 7 days of adventure, turquoise water, white sanded beaches, and quality time with your friends and little ones—it was heaven!

Check out my story highlight “BVIs ⛵️” for all of the fun from our trip! And stay tuned for an in-depth blog post with tips on sailing with kids + our complete itinerary 🏝️

Nestled in the province of Siena, this UNESCO-listed region is home to some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Italy, not to mention some seriously charming medieval towns. 

If you’ve ever daydreamed about sipping wine in a sun-drenched vineyard or strolling through a postcard-perfect village, this is the place to make it happen.

This almost week-long road trip includes: San Gimignano, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Fosso Bianco in Bagni San Filippo, Pienza, and Siena. And with the help of the @Expedia’ app, we found endless tour options and coveted day trip excursions to keep us busy.
