I’ve been to Portland many times, but last summer was the first visit we did with our kids and it was definitely a fun, but different experience.

Living the Airstream Life at Caravan Outpost in Ojai, California
This month has been absolutely insane. The day after Christmas our kitchen flooded, which led to basically a complete home remodel. We are still without a kitchen, boxes are piled up – painting supplies everywhere and new kitchen appliances are sitting in the middle of the dining room.

Not only is it beautiful, but it has something for everyone — river activities, fishing, hiking, breweries, great food, and more, and that’s just in the summer. This…

Ah Paris, so beautiful, historical, and so filled with buttery pastry, savory cheeses, wine and rich foods. Recently my husband and I were able to go to Paris for four days following a conference I had in London.

Big Sur, California and Pfeiffer Burns Campground
Big Sur, California is what coastal roadtrip dreams are made of.

The long stretch of undeveloped land is strikingly different than the rest of California’s densely populated coast — this is one of the things that makes it so special. The clear blue water, wildflowers, cliffs, and bridges…
