It’s sad this is a glorious day, I wish there wa It’s sad this is a glorious day, I wish there was never a murder to be happy about a guilty verdict of in the first place but I am glad we can breathe a little easier today. 

Please don’t take this verdict as the work being over, there is so much more to do. There are so many more trials to see through, so many families who haven’t gotten justice for their loved ones, we cannot let up! #BlackLivesMatter
So often we wait for special occasions to dress u So often we wait for special occasions to  dress up, book that trip, get our nails and hair done or have a fancy meal. Here’s to making every day a special occasion just because we’re alive and well and have our family!

If you’ve been following this trip in my stories you’ve seen all the amazing things this resort has to offer. That’s what keeps us coming back! #HostedByHCV

From the villas with full kitchens and multiple bedrooms, to the amazing pools with water slides, a Lazy River, and splash pads, to the activities right at the resort like mini golf, arcades and rock climbing, there’s never a dull moment. 

Virtual school is coming to an end so we’re def thankful we could savor every moment!

Celebrating year 5! Five years ago I opened up IG Celebrating year 5! Five years ago I opened up IG and signed up for The Traveling Child account all thanks to my friend Paula who thought other parents and those wanting to be parents would find inspiration in seeing us travel the world with Jordyn and Kennedy. 

I personally thought she was crazy, “why would people want to see pictures of us traveling”. She told me she’d seen me travel with Jordyn the previous 2 years and while pregnant and that so many parents thought it was impossible. Now I knew that to be true as I’d often hear “you know you’re not going to be able to travel anymore” all throughout my pregnancy. 

Never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d be here 5 years later with a community of like minded travel lovers who many have become like family and don’t think we’re crazy for the places we take the girls, authoring a children’s book, writing for and being featured in publications like Essence, The Points Guy, Condé Nast, landing partnerships with dream brands like the Travel Channel I never thought would happen and a life I never thought we could give our kids.

I can’t even imagine what the next 5 years will look like. Thank you so much for supporting our family over the past 5 years, so much of what we do wouldn’t be possible without your support.

If you have a dream do not give up, you won’t always see success in the first few months or even years but if you’re passionate about it the possibilities are endless. I don’t have a degree in journalism, never took a photography class or really had experience in any of the qualifications for this career I have except I loved to travel with my family. People will doubt you, call your idea stupid and other things that might have you thinking of quitting but keep pushing, you have nothing to lose but the possibility of accomplishing your wildest dreams!!

If this page has done nothing else I hope you’ve learned how to find flight deals and know if kids live there, kids can visit! Much love, Monet.
Moms deserve luxury too! I’m so ready for my nex Moms deserve luxury too! I’m so ready for my next solo trip, I usually take one every year but 2020 ruined those plans. Not this here 2021, I am ready to go!  My solo trips give me time to rejuvenate, do some on my favorite things I can’t always do with the whole family, sleep in, eat what I want when I want without compromising for anyone, the ability to change my mind at the last minute because I want to without affecting anyone else and so much more. Have you traveled solo? If you haven’t do you want to?

If you’re looking to take a solo trip you can click the link in my bio for my blog posts on my previous ones, Tulum, Mexico has been my favorite. #solotravel #momcation
Last weekend we visited our 8th National Park, Eve Last weekend we visited our 8th National Park, Everglades National Park, which is just 90 mins from where we live. We brought the @Cuisinart Large Backpack Cooler to bring all the essentials we needed. Since it's a backpack it was easy to carry on our boat tour and hikes but also large enough to store our water and food. It keeps items cold for 16+ hours and since it passed the Florida burning sun test, and kept our food fresh after a long day we won't be going on any adventures without it. Have you visited any National Parks? Which one is your favorite and/or which one would you like to go to next? #savorthegoodlife #coolerbag #hikinglife #CuisinartPartner
We normally travel to New York 2-3 times a year bu We normally travel to New York 2-3 times a year but since we haven't been since 2019 we decided to bring New York to us thanks to @loweshomeimprovement. Two of our favorite things to do in New York are Movie Night in Bryant Park and watching plays on Broadway so we combined the two and transformed our backyard into the ultimate Hometrip to Bryant Park and watched Cats! 

 

What's an activity from your previous travels you'd like to recreate at home? Here are a few quick tips:

1. Don't overthink, it doesn't have to be exactly the same.

2. Add your own twist like we did watching a Broadway play instead of a movie.

3. Find small elements to bring your Hometrip full circle, we made virgin Manhattan's for our drinks.

P.S. I was extremely surprised to find everything we needed for the transformation at Lowe’s. Yes, I expected to be able to find the patio set but the popcorn machine, popcorn kernels, charcuterie boards and bar cart not so much. It was a pleasant surprise to be able to shop in one place for everything we needed. #LowesGoals #LowesPartner

The Dosh App is the Best Thing to Happen to Hotel Bookings

July 23, 2019      Affording Travel, Hotel Reviews, Reviews

I discovered the Dosh App earlier this year and it instantly became one of the ways my family saved money to travel. We thought the cash back they offer for shopping at participating stores was amazing and couldn’t get better but we were wrong. They just launched their travel feature which gives gives cash back on hotels! Just like the restaurants and stores this is in addition to any points or miles you earn from using your debit or credit card to make the purchase. If you aren’t using this feature you are seriously missing out on amazing savings.

So how much cash back can you get from booking your hotel through the Dosh App? As an example, we just spent a weekend in Key West and used the Dosh App to book our hotel. The cash back offer on the Key West Marriott Beachside Hotel where we stayed for two nights was $173.15. Who doesn’t want to shave that much off their accommodations spend? We were able to use that 25% cash back for meals and activities on our trip. The crazy part is that’s not even the highest possible cash back offer. Some hotels are offering 40% cash back through the app!

How to Search for Hotels Through the Dosh App

Within the Dosh App you will type your destination and dates and then search for rooms. You can sort your search by lowest to highest cost, most cash back or filter it by specific hotel names or amenities you require. It’s very easy to use and a simple process.

This blog post is sponsored by Dosh.

What’s the Catch with Booking Your Hotel Through the Dosh App?

Don’t worry you aren’t losing anything by booking your hotel through the Dosh App. It’s like using any other 3rd party booking platform, except this one comes with major perks. Before booking our hotel I double checked the price for our room directly on Marriott’s website and it was the same. The only difference was now we saved $173.15 where as booking through Marriott we would have gotten nothing in return. You can still collect your hotel loyalty points by asking the desk agent to add your Bonvoy number or whatever hotel’s loyalty program you’re apart of to your reservation at check-in. 

How was our check-in process? It was seamless! I provided my name and my reservation was found immediately and as it should it showed we already paid for our room. We were given our room keys and wished a happy stay. Our room was perfect and clean and exactly what we booked. 

Our favorite parts about the hotel was the 24 hour pool and the free shuttle into town which runs until 11PM. Parking in Key West can at times be difficult or expensive so we were thrilled to have this option. 

How to Get Your Cash Back for Booking Hotels Through the Dosh App

So when and how do you get your cash back? You will see your cash back pending as soon as you book your hotel through the app. After completing your hotel stay your cash back will move to your available balance on our around 30 days after your stay. The money in your available balance can be transferred directly to your bank account, PayPal account or can be donated to the charity of your choice.

The Dosh App expanding their cash back to hotels is the best thing to happen to budget travel. If you aren’t already using the Dosh App you’re missing out on a lot of savings. Download it here using my referral link and get a bonus just for signing up. Plus if you refer your friends and they book a hotel now through the end of August, you can get $25! So what are you waiting for, download the free Dosh App today. Happy travels!
