I’m so excited to share that @the_baby_abroad family travel blog is now live! 👶🏼✈️ TheBabyAbroad.com
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I’ll be sharing countless articles addressing the most common travel questions I got throughout my pregnancy, Oliver’s early travels, and now that he’s a BUSY toddler.  Of course, I’ll also be sharing all of my tips for flying with a little one, airline reviews (with kids in mind), comprehensive travel guides on the destinations we’ve traveled as a family, honest product reviews, and everything in between.

But what I’m most excited about is that this will be a community resource with tons of guest authors. Raising a child is such a unique experience for every family, and I personally love to see how ALL types of families travel.

My hope is that The Baby Abroad will become a resource that represents all types of families exploring the world with their kids at every stage of life.

Ranch weekend at @carmelvranch 🫏🌳
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Carmel Valley Ranch #hosted us for the coziest getaway!

We had a picnic with donkeys, rode in “Monster Trucks” (four wheelers) to visit the cows and goats at The Corral, fed the chickens in the organic garden, and had tons of adventures around their 500 acre properly.

The food was also so good. Their kids menu had TEN options including everything from fish to steak to hamburgers and chicken tenders. And there’s the option for room service, which we did every morning for breakfast. Toddler parents, you feel me on all that!

The “bliss” on Oliver’s face tasting the mac and cheese in the last photo tho 😂

It’s the ultimate destination for a babymoon, romantic getaway, or family trip with kids of any age!

PS- Ranch Hand Ollie might be the cutest thing ever 🥹

Tiny Ollie vs Toddler Ollie visiting the African penguins in Cape Town 🥹🐧
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
It’s #worldpenguinday so had to share some very special moments from Boulders Beach!

Oliver had just started crawling on his first visit last year and he was blowing kisses and pretending to be a penguin on our latest visit this year. Almost exactly one year apart.

The photo of him 🧀’n with the penguin is framed at home — it is too stinking cute!

Charging up for my next adventure with the NEW @anker_official MagGo! 🌟
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
What’s the one product I *always* take when I travel? A power bank!

Like most people, when I travel, I’m out the entire day exploring without the ability to charge my phone.

And I use my phone a LOT for battery-draining functions like maps, transportation, and, of course, taking photos and videos.

The #AnkerMagGo can fully charge most iPhone models at 2x the speed of other 7.5W power banks.

I love the magnetic wireless charging and the built-in folding kickstand for an upright comfortable viewing angle.

No more tangled cords, just sleek, convenient charging on the go!

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Focusing on ways to be more environmentally conscious both at home and while traveling is incredibly important to me — so that the generations to come can keep exploring this beautiful world.

I know that sometimes it seems like there are “too many” things to do in order to be “more green” or focus on sustainability...and it can be very overwhelming.

Where do you begin? Are you doing enough? Can you really make a difference?

The truth is that YES, you can make a difference.

Even the smallest things like eliminating or limiting your use of plastic or cutting back your meat consumption make a big difference.

Each single-use plastic item you don’t use and throw away is one less piece of plastic added to landfills or the ocean. Small choices every day add up to big changes!

While you don’t have to create a massive composting pile in your backyard (unless you want to)—there are other things you can do to reduce your environmental impact and be environmentally conscious at home.

Most importantly, vote to put people in power that have a strong stance on protecting the planet and climate policy. Collectively, we can have the greatest impact by holding the people at the top accountable.

I’m sharing a few resources today in my stories like the best reef-safe sunscreens, and how to reduce your environmental impact while traveling.

Once you begin to implement little changes, they become habitual, and soon enough you’re part of the change.

Let’s do it for Mother Earth!
