Travel tip: bring one of these pouches to keep your passport in when you travel and stay in hostels.

This pouch is fire safe and is a faraday cage, meaning, it blocks any electronic signals. You can keep your passport in here, a credit card, your phone, or anything of value so no baddies can get your information while you sleep in shared accommodations.

Alex can pretend to be a doctor with this set. Not sure if he will be one in the future, but pretend play is always good!

My mom does a lot of laundry so package day made her happy. This product cleans the washer as she's doing laundry, win-win!

Halloween is coming and the boy is excited!!!!

We've been doing a little bit of Florida exploring recently, and have been home quite a bit. This product was provided for the boy and he was so happy to get it. The pillow is super soft and is now one of his main pillows during bedtime.

This is from a boy who loves dinosaurs ☺️

Last video is of us picking up the product from Walmart and boy was so happy he opened the package in the car 😹

Package days mean something good in the mail that the boy can help show off. Today, it's Tanzanian coffee.

☕ This is perfect for an always tired mom who's always working or doing something for 16 hours of the day, whether it's work, house work, travel, or childcare.

Does anybody else feel analysis paralysis when it comes to picking their next read or TV show to watch or places to visit?

I swear, the amount of content out there to read, listen to or watch, is just too much. You can spend your lifetime trying to catch up with your favorite shows/authors/streaming service, but it's still not enough.

Same as traveling: too many places to see, too many things to do, but too little time. Even if I traveled full time, one lifetime is still not enough to do everything I want to do.

And I guess that's OK. It's just a matter of accepting we can't do everything.

Small towns and cities are sometimes the best places to go since not a lot of people visit these smaller destinations.

Thanks to Google Maps, the world is my oyster. I managed to discover the Williams Reindeer Farm in Palmer, Alaska just because I zoomed in on our driving route to see what we can see and do.

On the blog: how to spend a few hours at the Williams Reindeer Farm in Palmer:

Planning for our honeymoon through Alaska, I casually looked at Google Maps on our route from Anchorage to Denali. I saw that there's this Reindeer Farm in Palmer, around 50 minutes north of Anchorage. The Palmer Reindeer Farm is a short detour through our road trip from Anchorage to Denali National Park. I like animals, so I’m like, why not? I’ve never been close to reindeer so here’s my chance....

Museums and aquariums became a staple of places we had to see and visit once we had a child. There’s something about seeing animals up close that fascinates young children, so Zoo Knoxville became a must-see when we were planning our trip to Knoxville. Just a quick 10-minute drive from Downtown Knoxville, the zoo has a lot of animals in several distinct habitats....

Yay! The bag I'm waiting for arrived just in time for ! I will need to use all the space I can get as I go from 80F to 40F temps in a few days time.

Alaska is where we honeymooned back in 2017 and I'm coming back (without the husband, who has to do kiddo duties) after 7 years!

Thanks .foldie.official for sending the product over. Can't wait to use it in a few weeks!

Our little family decided to do a quick weekend getaway in Knoxville, TN.

Allegiant flies direct from Jacksonville to Knoxville, and the flight times are perfect for those who work and just want a weekend getaway. We flew on a Friday afternoon and was supposed to come back Monday morning.

Of course, with weather interruptions, we didn't get to come back until Monday afternoon, but my husband was able to work in McGhee Tyson Airport Knoxville, TN while waiting for our flight back home. Thank goodness it wasn't cancelled even with terrible weather in Florida!

Anyway, here's what to do on a weekend (with kids) in Knoxville:
