Pink Flamingos at Aguas Calientes

Aguas Calientes, Bolivia

A four day 4×4 tour with Tupiza Tours in Bolivia brought me to some of the most incredible natural beauty I have ever seen.

At what quite possiby might be the world’s best road stop, we arrived at Aguas Calientes. These natural hot springs were perfectly heated by natural volcanic activity and there was a perfect view to match! The hot springs opened up to crystal blue waters inhabited by pink flamingos and a horizon of snow capped volcanoes.

A week late but happy one month Earth-side little

A week late but happy one month Earth-side little Oliver 👶🏼🤍

(His sad face in the third photo tho ☹️🥹—the reality of trying to get a cute photo of a newborn means three days of trying and getting lots of sleeping and crying photos lol)

Does the front yard count as leaving the house? 🤪

It’s been 3 weeks and 3 days since Oliver made his debut. We still have hard days, long nights, and I’m lucky if I get a shower in most days. But, we’re soaking up all of the sweet moments in between.

Oliver’s favorite spot is the front yard. If he’s fussy or can’t quite seem to fall asleep, we just walk outside, let the sun gently kiss his little feet, and suddenly he is calm and his eyes filled with wonder. I trust it means we have a little nature lover in the making 🥰

He is also obsessed with being as close to us as possible, so baby wearing is pretty much constant.

I practiced with @sollybaby wraps as soon as we got home from the hospital and they’ve been my go-to for around the home. (I promise they’re super easy to use once you’ve practiced a couple times in the mirror)! I’m wearing Ollie here in the Rising Sun wrap.

We have a few other baby carriers in our arsenal so I wanted to share our favs:

💕 @ergobaby “Omni 360 cool air mesh” has been our go-to for hot summer days. It’s super supportive and keeps baby cool.

💕 @artipoppe is our other go-to for style and functionality. Their carriers are beautifully designed and grow with newborns until they’re 40lbs!

💕 @lalabubaby makes the “Dad Shirt” you might have seen in my stories—Meyer wears it every day and Oliver loves it! I also got their “Kerrier” for when he’s a little older.

And lastly, my dahlias are in full bloom so having fresh cut flowers all over the house makes me so happy! I planted a different variety this year so there are some beautiful bright pink and purple flowers with those giant “dinner plate” ones that I grew last year 😍💐

#sponsored Summer road trip, anyone?

One of my favorite ways to explore is on a road trip! And, now that summer is here, and we have a new baby, the first trips we’ll be taking are road trips around Southern California.

I’m working with @NHTSAgov to share tips on how to stay safe on the road and get you ready for a summer trip! While these might seem like simple tips, some of these things can often go overlooked.

Make sure your vehicle is ready to hit the road by reviewing NHTSA’s safety checklist: Get your vehicle serviced; Check for vehicle safety recalls; Check all the “bells and whistles”: tire pressure and tread wear.

Also, check the spare; make sure your headlights, brake lights, turn signals, emergency flashers and interior lights are all in working order; coolant level; fluid level for oil, brakes, transmission, power steering, and windshield washer; the condition and fit of belts and hoses; wiper blades in good working order and pack an emergency roadside kit.

What are your “musts” before heading out on a road trip?
