These are some of my favorite travel hacks that have helped me survive 70+ days on the road and why I swear by them.

What’d one travel product you can’t travel without? 👇🏻

Midlife parenting at its best. 😏

Nobody warns you that the hard seasons don’t disappear just because you love each other.

What changes is the agreement underneath it all, that no matter how rough it gets, you’re both still rowing. That’s 32 years for us, and counting.

Tag your person, the one who’s still in the boat with you.

If your first thought is “wait, don’t you do this for a living,” you’re right.

And that’s exactly why I hire someone else for my own major trips.

I still share the ideas, the must sees, the non negotiables. I just don’t want to be the one chasing confirmations and figuring out transfers while I’m supposed to be relaxing.

Even a travel agent wants to feel like a guest on her own vacation.

DM me TRAVEL if you’re done being your own travel agent.

Who are we to go against science, right?

If you need the actual science...
Real time with your girlfriends boosts serotonin and oxytocin, lowers stress, helps you sleep better, and even supports immunity and life expectancy.

Technically, girls’ trips are life saving.

📌 Tag your girlfriend and let her know - it’s doctor’s orders.

53 years old and I’m just now admitting some of this out loud.

1. I still feel like I missed the secret life manual everyone else got handed for adulthood. Meanwhile I’m standing in my kitchen asking Alexa if you can substitute vegetable oil with avocado oil.

2. I look normal but I am painfully awkward at social events. If we’re in the same group conversation, I will either say nothing at all, or I will tell you the story of how I didn’t make it to the bathroom after giving birth to my son and ended up in Dan’s arms instead.

3. I lost both of my parents and there are still days my whole world feels tilted. It sounds childish, but sometimes I still don’t believe they’re gone.

4. When my kids left for college I missed them terribly, but I also felt this huge excitement watching them navigate the world with the tools we gave them.

5. I sometimes have to bribe my adult kids to come on vacation with us. Turns out it was never about not wanting to spend time with us, they’ve just grown up and have their own travel priorities now.

6. The silliest things bring me the most joy. A good fall in love book. Cheesy pizza. Pistachio ice cream. A night in a hotel room with room service and a bathroom that’s just mine.

7. I secretly hate working out every day. I do it anyway because I want my body to keep up with my kids and eventually my grandkids. I have big plans with them.

I am apparently now the same age as “old people”?
Asking for a friend.

Booking directly with the hotel does not get you the upgrade.
