Summer might be winding down, but it’s quite literally impossible for Paris to have a bad season.
Whether you’re marveling at the Christmas decor during Winter, enjoying the cherry blossoms of Spring, celebrating Bastille Day in Summer, or embracing a crisp walk in Autumn, there is always a reason to visit Paris.
Here are just some of my favorites in Paris—be sure to save this for your next visit!

This might be the last car seat you’ll ever need 👇

We’ve trusted @cybex_usa since Ollie was a newborn. Through flights, road trips, and every adventure in between, @cybex_usa has been with us around the world.
As a first-time parent, I admittedly went through more car seats than needed. Now, there’s the Callisto G 360. 🙌
It’s designed to work from newborn up to double digits, which means no more swapping seats at different stages.
This seat features 360° rotation, a one-time install, and SensorSafe alerts, making travel days and everyday drives so much easier (and safer!) 💛

Night dives are scary… until they’re not. 🌙🤿
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I used to think they were terrifying—it actually took me almost 50 dives before I built up the courage to do my first one. But now? I’m convinced there’s nothing more magical underwater.
What makes them so amazing is how different the ocean feels at night—you’ll see a whole new cast of marine life, from squid glowing like shooting stars in the dark to nocturnal creatures like octopus and lobsters emerging from their hiding places, and even manta rays depending on where you are in the world. ✨
On a recent trip to the Maldives with @tbaescapes, I had the chance to do a night dive with manta rays—easily one of the most incredible experiences of my life. You drop torches into the water, squid glowing like stars shimmer in the glow, and then the mantas come swooping in. They flip, spin, and dance above you in the dark… it honestly feels otherworldly.
Safe to say, I’ll never pass up a night dive again. 🖤

From toddler to big boy, this year’s birthday gift called for something a little extra special. Something that builds confidence and a love for adventure.
That’s why I went with the EZ Bike from @royalbabybikes. 🚲
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
It’s designed to help little ones learn real balance with their “slide before ride” philosophy.
@royalbabybikes believes training wheels inhibit kids from learning real balance, creating a false sense of mastery whereas the EZ Bike helps kids learn proper balance faster. It starts as a balance bike so kids build confidence without relying on training wheels, and with the quick-release crank, it easily transforms into a pedal bike when they’re ready!
@royalbabybikes’ slogan “Once a RoyalRider, always a Loyal Rider” means their mission is all about inspiring kids to embrace biking and enjoy the outdoors from a young age. They’ve been Amazon’s top-selling kids’ bike brand for years, with award-winning designs built on research and development, it’s lightweight, easy to ride, and actually fun for kids to use.
Ollie was absolutely in love with his birthday gift and was off exploring within minutes — safe to say we’re officially along for the ride!

Diving in one of the most magical underwater landscapes on earth… The Maldives!
This year, we officially launched our newest @tbaescapes all-female trip and it was pure paradise.
We set sail on a luxury yacht, explored vibrant reefs, had night dives with manta rays, and even landed on our own private beaches. Absolute heaven!
Getting scuba-certified is still one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever given myself. I’m endlessly grateful to keep using it to explore the world’s oceans, spot breathtaking marine life, and make lifelong friends along the way. 💙
