VIDEO: My Burning Man Experience

I’m still searching for a way to describe my first experience at Burning Man. But, there are simply no words. Instead, I figured I’d show you.

Check out My Burning Man Experience now on YouTube!

Rewind to the end of November….  It had been 2 months since Oliver’s brain tumor diagnosis, and we had just confirmed his craniotomy in Boston which would be 2 weeks later.  We’d learned that the surgery would blind him in his right eye, and the nerves in his eye and eyelid would take months to reopen and might not ever track in line with his left eye.  My perfect, beautiful blue-eyed boy 💔

Everything we’d been through was unimaginable but I’d been in fight or fight response for months and knew there were things I needed to do with Ollie before then.  I text my friend @chelseamarasphoto through tears to see if there was any chance of squeezing in Ollie.  As a friend and mama, she knew the importance of the photos and didn’t hesitate to meet us with pretty much zero notice—in the PEAK of holiday photo season.  Chelsea, thank you for dropping everything and giving me the most priceless gift as a mama. 
Oliver is now one month post op (almost to the day) and there are no words to describe how well he’s doing. His eye is nearly fully re-open, and thankfully, it is also moving in line with his left eye. His vision impairment also has no affect on his overall well-being. He’s the same sweet boy he was before his surgery and even his diagnosis.

The hardest year of my life… but with so much to be grateful for 💔

Thank you for following along through this year’s ups and downs. 2024 brought me to my knees more times than I can count, but there were also so many beautiful moments in between.

Oliver’s tumor diagnosis shook me to my core. The past four months have been a frantic search to find treatment options and go from diagnosis to craniotomy. Oliver is recovering and thriving, but I’m honestly not sure if I’ll ever get over the emotional trauma of everything.

Entering 2025 with a totally new outlook on life—focused on health, happiness, and healing.

Praying the universe is right and Geminis are getting a break in 2025 lol 🙏

What if you could travel the world… without paying for accommodation? Sounds too good to be true, right?

Here’s the secret—@homeexchangecom. It’s a social network where you swap homes with fellow travelers, whether it’s an apartment or a house.

While we stayed in a gorgeous, centrally located apartment in Manhattan to celebrate the holiday season, our guests enjoyed a sunny winter in Southern California while staying in our cozy home. It’s a win-win!

No expensive hotel stays, no home sitters needed. Home exchange saves you thousands by giving you a free place to stay in someone else’s home.

You can filter your search for homes with a pool or something pet-friendly or kid-friendly to find your perfect home away from home.

We left a little welcome basket and some local travel tips for our guests to make it extra special for them.

So whether it’s a modern apartment in the city or a beach house getaway, this travel hack can make your dream vacation a reality.

A fairytale stay 🏰

I highly recommend staying a night or 2 at @themanor_house in The Cotswolds.

It’s located in the tiny, picturesque village of Castle Combe—one of my favorite stops of our trip.

We had the entire village to ourselves early in the morning and at sunset which was so magical!
