weekend warriors: the lazy girls’ guide to the napa valley
After an entirely unintentional hiatus, we’re back! Back in action! Well, you know, we hope. We fully intend to be back. Sometimes life gets in the way, but what can you do? Instead of dwelling on the fact that we haven’t properly blogged in what feels like forevs, let us instead focus on everything we loved about the Napa Valley. Spoiler alert: we loved everything. But before we get to Napa, let’s backtrack for just a sec. The plan: awake, bright eyed & bushy tailed, in our beautiful suites overlooking San Francisco, and let our eyes adjust to the soft…

video sneak peek: 24 hours in napa valley
Hey, we warned you. Back in January, we said! We’re going to do more videos! 2015 is the year we pretend to understand iMovie! So why not start with a lil peek at our 24 hours in Napa Valley? Naturally, on our first joint trip of 2015, we forced our husbands to keep their iPhones at the ready. They were on strict orders to capture any video-worthy moments. Not wanting to be caught unprepared, they videoed about 10-20 seconds of every single thing we did. This meant that we had about an hour’s worth of clips to work with. Luckily,…

jetsetters: michael & hilda of newkidz on the block
The absolute best part of our recent trip to South Africa with Hands Up Holidays was the work we did with local organization Newkidz on the Block.

It was an honor to aide their mission to improve the lives of some of South Africa’s most disadvantaged children. We can say wholeheartedly that Hilda and Michael are two of the most impressive, caring, and passionate people we have ever met. We could sing their praises for days! Honestly, we…

weekend warriors: 36 hours in san francisco
We’ve had an amazing month of travel for many reasons. But one thing worth noting? We’ve officially added a new favorite city to our repertoire. That’s right, after 36 hours in San Francisco, we can say it. You passed the “would I live here?” test with flying colors. And, dear travelers, we are clearly not experts on this new-to-us city. But here’s what we can strongly suggest for your own weekend escape to the City by the Bay. Based on our experiences, of course. See how happy it made us?

the lazy girl’s guide to northern ireland // roadtrip edition
After a recent trip up north, I had a few revelations. I obviously decided to throw together a handy little guide to guide to Northern Ireland, but first: let me be introspective, mk? One of the biggest revelations I’ve had since moving to London is that outside of this very cosmopolitan, international city, the UK & Ireland are far more suited for adventurists and lovers of the great outdoors. As they should be! The countryside is beautiful, and if hiking, biking and coasteering are your thing, well, have at it! But, what if they’re not your thing? Are you destined…
