Best Airplane Travel Gear on Amazon for Kids (3-5 years)

0 comments / Family


We are by no means expert family travelers. T and I are lucky enough to have traveled solo to over 25 countries collectively, but when it comes to traveling with our children I still get some serious pre-flight jitters. Like, how do other parents look so chill at the airport? Tell me, people!

But now that we’ve traveled internationally with our kids a few times, I feel like we have a better handle on what we absolutely need (and don’t need) when we fly. And I’m intentionally focusing on what to pack for the airplane flight ...that’s always the hardest part for us since we try to limit what we carry onto the plane.

What to Do in Mexico City With Your Kids

0 comments / Family


Thomas and I just spent a week in Mexico City with our 3.5 year old and 19 month old kiddos. It was an absolute blast!! But I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the tears and sleep-deprived tantrums (sometimes by our kids, but mostly by this mama!). One thing that kept us all sane was our new stroller Buggy Board and loads of fresh churros. Since we’re currently based in Denver, Colorado, we love that CDMX isn't too far of an international trip for our young kids. Plus there's tons of buzz-worthy, family-friendly activities in the city. It's really a perfect destination for families who want to explore a major international city -- and expose their kiddos to amazing food, beautiful architecture, and a new culture -- without flying halfway around the world.

DIY: How to Make a Large Metal Frame for Oversized Engineering Print Poster

2 comments / diy



This project might be my proudest DIY moment ever! I made this custom frame measuring nearly four feet tall and it cost me $0 in supplies. Clean, minimal, and with an industrial vibe, it's absolutely perfect for my black and white engineer print of an incredibly special travel photo.

15 FREE Travel-Inspired Printables for Your Gallery Wall or Office

0 comments / diy

We bought a new place that's been a steady source of project inspiration (more DIY and global-inspired home decor ideas to come!) and we're saving our pennies for a few big trips later in the year. I typically get a little stir-crazy in the winter (don't we all??) and thought it'd be fun to add a typographic, travel-inspired print to my evolving gallery wall. Here are 15 (no, wait, actually 16!) gorgeous, FREE printables I've rounded up:

Global Inspired Cocktail: La Casa Rosada KahlĂșa Recipe

0 comments / drinks


Happy KahlĂșa Day! Ok, today is arguably not as famous as Cinco de Mayo, aka National Margarita Day. And unfortunately no parades are planned, nor is the President (at least, the U.S. President) making a speech. But regardless, this chica will be celebrating her inner latina tonight with a special concoction.

Global DIY: How to Make an Ikat Duvet with Paint

4 comments / D.I.Y.


A simple, black ikat design is pretty ubiquitous these days. From Nate Berkus for Target, to Elle Decor, to Etsy, you’re bound to see some interpretation of the design. Does that make this trend any less covetable? Heck no! But a girl has only so many sofas and windows to embellish.

Global Style Inspiration: How to Display Tribal Tunics

0 comments / Decor

Kate Spade said playing dress up begins at age five and never truly ends. True, right?! I love pretty clothes...especially those with a tribal flair. Let this little girl dress up in colorful kaftans, cholis and kimonos.
