Can you believe we are already in the holiday season?! I feel like it should still be October, but watching Disney transform into a Holiday Wonderland, I am so ready for the holidays! I can't wait to put up my tree, decorate my house and shop for some amazing gifts. Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing some holiday gift guides with you to provide some gifting inspiration. Since I spent a good part of October traveling, I thought it would be fitting to make the first gif

Have you ever found the perfect tote bag and then you notice there is a graphic or a saying on it that you don't like? What if there was a company that would make a tote bag that said exactly what you wanted to? Well, I may have found the perfect company for you! The Shop Forward is a company that is all about giving back. Since they opened in 2014, they have raised over $2,500,000 for various charities.

This is the post I am almost excited to share! We have all seen the photos, that are all over social media, showing these amazing teal-colored lakes! One of these social media posts is what sparked my interest in going to Banff. I always wanted a big party for the 35th birthday, but when I saw my first photos of Peyto Lake I changed my mind and wanted to take a trip. I wanted a trip that I would remember for years to come!

They have one package, the ultimate explorer, which provides entrance into the Banff Gondola, a glaci

I cannot believe this was my last full day in Banff. This will be my last daily post from Banff, but when I tell you I saved the best for last, I'm not lying! We started the day by trying a new place for breakfast, Good Earth Coffee House. I had a pumpkin spice latte and a breakfast sandwich. We found a fire pit outside of the coffee shop and decided we needed to visit it for a few minutes. It wasn't long before our excitement kicked in and we knew it was time to get in the c

Hello Day Two! After some fantastic sleep we woke up to falling snow and snow covered roofs! Today was our easy day, so we hung out in the hotel and then hit the streets of Downtown Banff! We started off with a small breakfast at Whitebark Cafe, which is a small coffee shop right next to the hotel. We then walked through most of the shops down Banff Ave. We stopped at the Banff Ave. Brewing Company for lunch and yo our surprise, they were playing every 1 p.m. NFL football gam

Good Morning from the Canadian Rockies! I have been thinking how I should do these posts from each day I am gone and I decided I will do brief posts each day and will do series of full on travel posts when I get back. Yesterday was soooo long! I was up at 2 am so we could pick up our fourth person and drive to the airport. We flew Alaska Airlines, which is always great. Our first leg was Atlanta to Seattle and it was smooth sailing. I didn't sleep a lot on the flight, I just
