HOW TO LIVE EVERY DAY LIKE IT IS VACATION

img_4539One of my favorite parts about being on vacation is all the relaxation and calm that comes with it. I don’t really care what I do on a vacation, whether it is museums, beaches or a cozy cabin, because no matter where I am, I can find a cozy spot to curl up and read. I made a promise to myself when I came home from Florida that I would try to live each day like a vacation. Lately I feel like I just go to work, go home, sleep and do it again. I am trying to find more purpose in my everyday life and a reason to jump out of bed in the morning. Okay, so this current snow storm is making it a bit tricky to do, but with the warmer spring weather I hope this gets easier!

Here are some ways I can continue to live each day like I am on vacation… Continue reading “HOW TO LIVE EVERY DAY LIKE IT IS VACATION”

Guide to Universal Theme Park

Our family dream has been to go to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Theme Park in Florida for years. We kept saying, yeah we will get to it but just never did.  You know those things that you promise to do when you have more free time? Well… we went and had a blast! I even got my brother to laugh and dance with the Grinch at Seuss Landing! Here is my guide to Universal Theme Park with what to do, how to not wait for rides and a lot of photos! Enjoy 🙂 Continue reading “Guide to Universal Theme Park”

Guide to Atlanta + a little life update

Sharing my Atlanta travel guide full with plenty of photos of our adventures. I was missing my college roommate, so I booked a flight and spent a long weekend in Atlanta, Georgia. I got to experience the city as a local and enjoy the warm weather in February. Getting back on a plane to go back home was very difficult after a weekend of warm weather and adventure!

Plan a Winter Getaway

I hate the cold. I long for the summer months when I can throw on shorts and flip flops before I go out of the house. Now I have to put on layers and bundle up. Right now I am in between jobs and my parents have some saved up vacation days so we decided to book a spontaneous flight to Florida to soak up the sun. Turns out you can do this too!

Oh, The Places You Go (In 2016)

One of my life goals after college graduation was to travel as much as possible. I tried to take a really sad fact that all of my friends were moving across the country and tried to make it a positive that I had a lot of visiting to do!

Unfortunately, when you are a working girl, it limits the time off I had to go places so I did not go to as many places as last year. This year definitely was filled with new places, new sights, and new adventures!

The traveling red suitcase went on a lot of adventures this past year, and even though it was damaged en route to Texas (Thanks, United!), it was fixed and has a few more years to go!

Here are some of the places I visited and some were new places I crossed off my bucket list! Excited to see where 2017 takes me.canstock14468516
