Join us on our final @tbaescapes Jordan tour of 2024 this September! 🐪 ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT + $500 OFF!
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Jordan is a very special place to me. Not just for its beautiful sites or its incredible landscapes, but because this was my first ever PAID press trip as a blogger (and my first time traveling to the Middle East) back in 2012.
It sent me on a trajectory that not only changed the way I see the world, but helped inspire me to launch my own all-female tour company.
Our Jordan “Ancient Wonders” tour combines cultural and historical highlights along with some of the biggest bucket list adventures!
Here are some of the highlights:
☑️ Exploring the city of Amman
☑️ Discovering the Greco-Roman ruins of Jerash
☑️ Hiking Wadi Mujib
☑️ Floating in the Dead Sea
☑️ Exploring one of the 7 World Wonders at Petra
☑️ Scuba diving and snorkeling in the Red Sea
☑️ Hot air balloon ride in Wadi Rum
Ready to feel like “Indiana Jones”? We’re offering the chance to join us at a major discount ($500 OFF)! Tap the LINK IN BIO to apply. HURRY as these spots won’t be available for long!

Meet @reserveps — the best kept secret at LAX! ✈️
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
PS is located in a private terminal at LAX with luxury suites with white glove service before and after your flight.
Concierge will check your bags with the airline and bring you caviar and champagne to enjoy while you wait.
I recommend arriving 3 hours before your flight so you have time to enjoy everything included in your booking—like chef-prepared meals, craft-cocktails, and spa treatments.
Before you head to your flight, you can fill a to-go box from the snack bar.
You’ll be escorted through their private security screening and chauffeured directly to your aircraft!
Now for the details…
Think of this like a Soho House membership for frequent flyers.
To have a private, line-free TSA screening, dedicated customs and immigration services on arrival, and expert drivers trained on the airfield to take guests directly to their aircrafts at one of the world’s busiest airports is a luxury you literally cannot buy anywhere else!
You can sign up for an annual membership for discounted rates on their private suites or salon (perfect for solo travelers). Or you can book on a per-use basis.
Visit their page for more information on pricing and the service!

Oliver’s ”Born TWO Explore” second birthday party! 🎂🏕️
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
We spent the most perfect sunny day celebrating our little happy camper with family and friends!
A few highlights included this amazing inflatable tent—it really created the “summer” camp vibes and took 2 minutes to setup.
We lined up a few camping tables with plush wood slice cushions for an adorable picnic setup for the kids.
And, a tradition I started last year, souvenirs for each kiddo to take home. We built a backdrop to hang these summer camp backpacks with custom embroidered patches!
I was torn on not doing a cake since we were doing s’mores for dessert. But, Oliver’s grandma made this “fake” cake which turned out incredibly cute and was the perfect centerpiece. She also set up this nature loom craft for the kids.
A few of the amazing details that made day so special (full details in a blog post on @the_baby_abroad coming soon!):
🤍 Biodegradable balloons by my favorite @gatherandpop
🤍 Kids’ Table in tent with coloring paper by @lalo
🤍 Santa Maria style BBQ @the.tipstop
🤍 Custom patches ended up costing about $2 each from @Letusdigitize
🤍 Our new Yukon @solostove with surround so we could have a wood burning fire on a composite deck— it’s AMAZING
Some of the other details:
🤍 Tent & picnic tables @costway
🤍 Lots of little details like the tenant flags, mugs and postcards were in the dollar section at @target (couldn’t believe it!!!) The lanterns and retro radio was Target’s Hearth & Home collection.
🤍 Wood slices and log cushions from Amazon

Adventures with @rivianofficial in Upstate New York! 🌲🏕️
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I just returned from an epic adventure with Rivian, where I got an early look at the Gen2 R1S and R1T that just became available!
We drove up to the absolutely dreamy Cedar Lakes Estate to see some of the new features firsthand.
The new models feature beautiful new trim and paint options, a glass roof that can be electronically tinted, up to an estimated 420 miles of range, more cameras, and safety features like blind spot monitoring that gives a high res view of the lane over before you change, and tons more!
You can even turn the frunk into a cooler—how “cool?”
And for the fellow parents out there: With a subscription to Connect+, you’ll be able to stream video through Google Cast and get access to more than 3K apps when you’re charging up and Apple Music’s catalog to help keep everyone happy on the road.
One thing I’ve been highly anticipating is the new Travel Kitchen—and we got a full demonstration! When folded, it’s as compact as a briefcase and unfolds to fit perfectly on the back hatch of the R1S or R1T. There are 2 induction cooktops for more even and safer cooking.
The Travel Kitchen should be available to order in late summer!

Meet my “mom” car— the Rivian R1S! 🛞
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I put down my deposit for the R1S before it launched back in 2021, so to say that I was excited about this car is an understatement!
I wanted a smart EV that could do it all, with tons of space and features for epic family trips. With all-wheel drive, all-terrain tires, and a 300-mile range, we are ready for any adventure!
There’s an optional third row that comfortably seats 7 passengers. With both rear rows folded down, you have over 104 cubic feet of space!
Kids travel with a LOT of stuff. So, the amount of storage space in the R1S is a game-changer.
The front trunk is also, you guessed it, HUGE and is perfect for:
-Balance bikes and beach toys
-Pack and plays and diaper bags
-A cooler! You can actually fill it with ice and drinks (how cool?!)
And, there’s a built-in air compressor for floaties and a removable Bluetooth camp speaker for dance parties.
It really is the ultimate family car!

Love it, mama! You’ll have to let me know if you make plans to partake in another one of these that are based in Europe (is the only one in Croatia?). Miss you! xo
Miss you too!!! They’re all over! Italy, Greece, and I’m going to The British Virgin Islands with them in March. You keen? 😉
It’s almost like HOLY SHIP! =P
