If there is one thing that I’m good at, it’s stretching out a birthday celebration. Even better yet? Now that the twins are officially born, we’ll have 3 months of celebrating birthdays back to back. Get ready kids — because in 2021, the birthday party run roughly a quarter of…
Off the Beaten Path
It’s officially our birthday month. Meaning: I know how to stretch out a birthday celebration like nobody’s business. It starts in August for my birthday and continues all through September for Kevin. However, planning a birthday extravaganza during a pandemic takes some effort. Then add in kids, well, we have…
Love a good roadside America adventure as much as us? If so, you’ll definitely want to check out our latest travels to our favorite must-see Route 66 attractions. Kevin and I have driven along “The Mother Road” at least a half dozen times — cruising along Route 66 in Arizona…

As anyone who follows us knows, Kevin and I have a pretty adventurous streak — whether its diving with crocodiles in Cabo or swimming at the top of Victoria Falls in Zambia. We just got back from an incredible 7 days in United Arab Emirates, traveling from Dubai to Abu…
