The girls killed their first flower girl assignmen

The girls killed their first flower girl assignment at my brother’s wedding last night. It felt so good to be around family we haven’t seen in far too long, hoping for more moments like this soon! Happy Saturday everyone, doing anything fun this weekend?

Fall is just about here which means cooler weather

Fall is just about here which means cooler weather and whew we are looking forward to that. It's our favorite time because we can finally get out and play without melting, our favorite game is human jump rope with Kennedy as the jump rope! We are loving the @Nike Club fleece from @kohls for the whole family, especially because they offer so many bold colors with shoes to match. What do you look forward to most come Fall? #kohlsfinds #sponsored #nikesportswear

Our favorite countries we’ve visited! (Save & share this post): Since we haven’t left North America in 2 years decided to reminisce!

1. Kenya: Talk about a dream trip! In Nairobi with went to the Giraffe Center, the David Sheldwick Elephant Orphanage, and the Karen Bilxen Museum. In Amboseli National Park we got to see Mt. Kilamanjaro, in Lake Naivasha we saw hippos both in and out the water and did a walking safari where we were so close to giraffes, zebras and more. In Maasai Mara we saw 5 cheetah take down a Topi, slept in a tent amongst the wild animals and visited a Maasai Tribe. We ended the trip relaxing on the Indian Ocean at Diani Beach.

2. Morocco: The entire country is just gorgeous. We explored Marrakech, Fez, The Sahara Desert and Chefchaoen and enjoyed every minute. From ATV rides in the desert to exploring the tanneries to spending Thanksgiving learning how to make the tajins we ate so much while there and were just amazed by the architecture.

3. Brazil: We only got to visit Rio de Janeiro on our trip so we’ll be back because we loved our preview to the country. We fell in love with the Afro-Brazilian culture, it has the largest population of Black people outside of Africa. We took Samba lessons, a cooking class learning how to make moqueca fish, went to a Brazilian futbol match, hiked Pedra do Telegrafo, walked up Escaderia Selaron & more.

4. Cuba: We got to visit going to both Havana and Vinales. Havana is like nothing else I’ve ever seen, the liveliness of the city, the music, the dancing, whew. We thoroughly enjoyed our Salsa lessons, hanging out on the Malecon, seeing Plaza de Revolution, taking a tour of the rum factory, learning how to roll Cuban cigars, riding around in a classic car, horseback riding in the country side & more. Cuba was a dream!

5. Thailand: The food, the beautiful beaches, the culture, the buildings, Thailand had it all! It’s so affordable once you’re there. We had meals as low at $1.25. Everyone we met was so nice and we enjoyed the architecture & exploring the temples.

What has been your favorite country to travel to? What country do you hope to visit next?

The @crocs classic sandals have always been my favorite style. We clearly wear them everywhere but where/how do you wear yours? Are you team Crocs at the pool, park, at home or everywhere? And the biggest debate ever, Crocs with or without socks?! #CrocsAmbassador

Our favorite states in the US! (Save and share thi

Our favorite states in the US! (Save and share this post): Throughout the last year we have explored so much of the US. Together we’ve been to 20 states and I really hope we get to see all 50 because wow, the US is filled with so many gems. Here are our favorites and why (in no particular order lol):

1. Wisconsin: Never would I have imagined Wisconsin would make it on this list but we’ve been twice, to two different cities and loved each for different reasons. I highly recommend everyone visit at least one, we’ve done Door County and Wisconsin Dells.

2. Louisiana: After visiting 11 times myself (no judgment lol) & then going with the whole family and seeing how much they enjoyed it I knew it was the real deal. People only think of Bourbon Street but New Orleans and Louisiana are so much more! The food, the history, the culture, the adventure: there is literally so much to do.

3. Tennessee: Wow! We’ve now been to 5 cities in Tennessee (Memphis, Nashville, Franklin, Chattanooga and Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge) and each one of them had something amazing to offer. Honestly I’d 100% consider moving to Tennessee! From seeing Black Bears in the wild, to mountain coasters, to the history, food & music!

4. Utah: I mean y’all saw the recent trip lol, that was our 2nd one and I fell even more in love. Cannot wait to explore all it has to offer in the winter.

5. Alaska: I mean wow, we were blown away and we only got to see the SE part of the state, we cannot wait to see more. There is truly something for everyone here and I mean taking a helicopter to the top of a glacier, we will never forget that trip

6. New York: Well all of us were born here and it’s not called the greatest city on Earth for nothing. The food, the music, Flatbush, Harlem, the fast paced life, the everything! And do not sleep on Upstate, there is just so much to do here!

I have blog posts on each of these places on our website www.thetravelingchild.co (ok well I haven’t gotten around to writing the Alaska one but it’s coming and in the meantime you can check my story highlights).

Have you been to any of these states? What states in the US are your favorite?
