Lately I’ve been using my Faro Light Backpack from @bagsmart_official for pretty much everything. It transitions easily from hiking trails to everyday suburban mom life 🧑‍🧒‍🧒, plus it’s lightweight, breathable, and keeps things organized!

I love the color-block design too, and it works just as well for hikes as it does for errands or running to the park with my kids 🌳

Cincy and NKy friends- This is a great staycation Cincy and NKy friends- This is a great staycation idea!! ✨ It’s also great for anyone planning to see the Ark Encounter too. 

Don’t forget @abideglamping also has fun igloo domes you can stay in too!

Staying in a glamping tent with a built-in spiral tube slide at Abide Glamping 🌀🛝⛺️ was so much fun!

Located in N.Kentucky, this family-friendly glamping spot has fully furnished tents (real beds, electricity, nice bathroom, cozy seating) 🏕️ plus outdoor space to spread out.

Here you’ll also find fire pits, 🔥 space for grilling, 🍔and easy access to nature! 

This is a great option for families who want a unique stay, but don’t want to skip out on the creature comforts 🤪

Exploring the stunning cliffs of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore was one of my favorite parts of our Michigan road trip last summer. ☀️ 

It sort of feels like stepping into a painting thanks to its colorful sandstone cliffs, hidden waterfalls, and Lake Superior views! 💧 

We took a boat tour to see the beautiful shoreline views from the water 🛥️(we had two small kids with us), but you can also kayak through it to see caves and arches 🛶 

(( We booked our boat tour with @picturedrockscruises ))

You can also hike along trails with incredible overlooks. 🥾 Don’t miss Chapel Rock, Miners Castle, and Spray Falls! 

This part of Michigan’s upper peninsula is so stunning 😍 It’s definitely a “must do” road trip

Is it crowded? Hot? Overpriced? …while the answers Is it crowded? Hot? Overpriced? …while the answers to the questions may be “yes” 😬(especially if you visit in the summer), 💕 it’s still absolutely worth it to visit this incredible medieval walled city!! 

I’ve been to Dubrovnik a few times over the years, and would be happy to go back again! 💕

Truly a magical destination that feels like you’ve jumped into a movie set! 🎥
