This isn’t a hotel.
It isn’t a resort.
It’s ONE vacation home — and it might be the most epic one I’ve ever stayed in. 🤯
We stayed at @lazyriverresort in Palm Springs with 4 families and 11 kids — and I can confidently say this is the ultimate group vacation house. From morning lazy-river floats to arcade tournaments to movie nights, you truly won’t hear “I’m bored” even once. (Parents… you know how big that is. 😅)
This place is a private mega-estate designed for groups that want to actually stay together — without sacrificing space, comfort, or fun:
✔️ Sleeps a massive group (25+)
✔️ Iconic bunk room with 8 queen beds
✔️ Private lazy river + water slides
✔️ Full arcade + movie theater
It’s perfect for all kinds of groups — the ultimate setup for birthdays, reunions, bachelorettes, retreats, or those long-overdue “let’s all finally travel together” trips.
And the cherry on top? The @staywandery concierge service. They helped us coordinate an in-home hibachi dinner night (yes, comedic chef + fire + kids losing their minds). They can arrange everything for your visit from private chefs to photographers to yoga instructors — making group travel easier and more memorable. ✨
It’s the kind of place where you don’t need a packed itinerary — the experience is the house.
Tag your group — this is the trip you’ll be talking about for years!

The sweetest Christmas!🎄
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
After a year of clear scans and no recurrence of Oliver’s brain tumor, my gratitude feels deeper than ever. We filled the year with moments that mattered most—chaotic “3 year old boy” mornings, meaningful adventures, and time together that I’ll never take for granted.
Travel continues to be our favorite way to celebrate life and perspective, and we’re stepping into the new year with full hearts and open horizons.
Wishing you a joyful and happy holiday season!

Solo in Madrid? Yes, please 🇪🇸✨
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
If you’re dreaming of a city that’s beautiful, welcoming, safe, and made for wandering at your own pace — Madrid belongs at the top of your list.
From terrace-hopping with tapas and vermouth, to slow mornings in El Retiro, sunset views by the Royal Palace, world-class museums, flamenco nights, rooftop bars, and neighborhoods full of local energy… Madrid is the ultimate choose-your-own-adventure for solo female travelers.
I put together a complete solo travel guide to Madrid with:
• Where to stay (from luxe icons to new openings)
• Local experiences you shouldn’t miss
• The best neighborhoods for food, culture & shopping
• Sunset spots, rooftops & live music
• Tips to feel confident and at home while exploring solo
