We recently vacationed in the Clearwater Beach, Florida area and today I’m sharing my honest thoughts on where we stayed: Marriott Sand Key. We must have looked for WEEKS for a place that was family-friendly, fairly Covid safe, and on the beach with a pool. It also needed to be within the US because our youngest didn’t yet have a passport. I didn’t really want to be in a super crowded hotel, nor did I want to be in an Airbnb in a place we didn’t know at all. We ended up booking at the …

I won't lie, I'm partially blogging my Disney World packing list so I have it for the future. I read list after list before we went, plus scoured the internet for the cutest toddler Disney outfits.

That would definitely be my main piece of advice for Disney World with a toddler, but I …
Day Trip to Legoland Florida
LEGOLAND was a really fun part of our Florida trip. None of us had been before, and it was the perfect activity for the slightly chilly (55 degrees) day. Legoland is built for kids ages 2-12, but our 18 month old had an awesome time (and so did my husband!). We decided to do an afternoon at Legoland because my husband loved LEGO growing up. It's something he really enjoys doing with E (well, Duplo, she's not yet working with the smaller LEGO pieces). He has been to their location in Europe …
Best Disney-Area Luxury Family Resort: Four Seasons Orlando
If you've been following along on social media, you'll have seen that we recently jetted off to Orlando to spend a few days in the sun. I've been to a LOT of hotels, and there are only a few that I've regretted not booking for a longer stay. Four Seasons Orlando easily falls into that group! We had the most magical time at FS Orlando during our stay, and I'm so excited to share about our vacation today. Getting to Four Seasons Orlando We arrived in the early evening, slightly frazzled …
