A love letter to Wisconsin ✨💕☀️ Your summers are second to none. They are where everyone comes out of their homes, stays out late to watch the sunset and roast marshmallows. It’s really where you come alive and show your best. From the Friday fish fry’s to Brewers games, to family barbecues and festivals, and even fireworks and sparklers at night. There are so many wonderful things about your summers and it is really one of the things I dearly miss from living there. So much is jammed into three months of summer to truly get the most out of the beautiful weather. It’s like Wisconsinites forget how wonderful summer is and they try to soak it all up. I am so happy I got to have another taste of these wonderful summers this year and I cannot wait for the next time I get to do it all over again. As much as I am away from you, I always find myself excited to come back home. Until next time. 💕 #wisconsintravels #travelcontentcreator #travelgram #travelblogger #travelinghome

Going back to my favorite place 🥰☀️✨ If you haven’t watched my reel for all the vibes of my past weekend getaway to the most magical place on earth be sure to check it out! I was so happy to be back but honestly forgot how dang hot it is in Florida (not that it isn’t all over the country currently). Having the perspective of a formal local doing a full day in the parks I have a few tips that will save you this summer if you are looking to travel to visit the mouse. ✨ SUNSCREEN! The sun is no joke and I was reapplying more than I ever had before. Take a bottle in your park bag and apply every few hours or whenever you feel you need it. You’ll thank me later. ✨Bring a reusable water bottle. Yes there’s water for sale but you don’t want to spend $5+ every time you need a drink. Plus most quick service locations will give you ice water to fill your water bottle with. ✨A portable fan. I bought mine off of Amazon and I recharged it each night and it lasted pretty much all day. Even to have it inside to help circulate the cooler air helped greatly to cool off quick. ✨Take breaks. As much as you don’t want to, take a break. Go to a resort and relax in the lobby or just go back to your hotel for a midday Power Nap. It’s needed and often can help you wait out any rainstorms. You will feel much for refreshed the tackle the rest of your adventure. I’m still recovering from a go go go weekend that I’m not used to but I guarantee these tips will certainly help you in your next trip. What are your go tos for summer adventures? #mostmagicalplaceonearth #waltdisneyworld #travelcontentcreator #travelblogger #artofanimation #disneygirlie

Living on that sunshine ☀️ I don’t know about you all but this past weekend felt like the unofficial start of summer and I’m here for it! We did quite a lot while staying in town which was honestly needed after all the travels we have had as of late. I’m ready to really enjoy these summer months and all the adventures it holds ✨ #summertime #travelcontentcreator #unofficalstartofsummer

Continuing my pursuit of the National Treasure ✨ Had a wonderful weekend exploring Philly, nerding out on the filming locations of one of my favorite movies and celebrating a graduation. It was a much needed vacation with some wonderful people 💕

The force is strong with this one ✨ Happy May The Fourth for all who celebrate! I certainly haven’t been shy in sharing my love for Asoka, The Clone Wars, Bad Batch, Rebels and the Mandalorian. Don’t get me wrong, I really do enjoy the movies but I have really loved how these different series have expanded the story, added to and introduced characters I adore. I haven’t always been a Star Wars person but I’m so glad I have found the deep love I have for the world of Star Wars. Plus I have meet some pretty incredible people who have become some my closest friends. I love the Star Wars days I have gotten to have so far and I can’t wait for more to come! May the force be with you all.

anthophile (plural anthophiles) (zoology): An organism that visits flowers. A person who loves flowers. 🌸 🌺🌻🌷 I think I have a thing for flowers. 🤣 Over the weekend we went over to the Botanical Garden in DC and just a month’s difference blew me away with how many flowers and plants in bloom. It certainly made my soul so happy. I’m living for these warm days and the sunshine ☀️

There’s just something about a skyliner adventure 🚡 Thinking back to last weekend and my solo adventure along the skyliner and to Hollywood Studios. I certainly miss having more of these adventures but I’m sure glad I got to have one on my last trip. It was just so peaceful riding along and taking it all in. It really has made me think of all my travel plans coming up and how my priorities have shifted to what I want to do, see or accomplish on said travels. I feel in this new season of 30, different things are important to me than what was before and it’s wild how much can change your perspective. It has certainly made me proud of who I have grown into and excited for all the travels and experiences to come. ✨ #skyliner #disneyparks #disneygram #disneygirl #solotravel #travelcontentcreator #travelmore

The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all 🌸🌺🌷🌻 This past weekend I got to travel back to Orlando, hop around parks and visit friends…it was honestly so much more needed than I realized. It has been go go go go go lately which has brought so much opportunity and good things, but you don’t realize what you need until you stop and take a breath. Being in Epcot enjoying rides, the flowers and the food just made me feel at home. Florida and Disney specifically will always feel like home to me, no matter where I go. Flower and Garden holds a special place in my heart from all the years I got to experience this festival growing up. It really showcases the talent of Disney Cast Members that make this festival so beautiful. I wish I had more time with this festival but I’m so glad I got to see as much as I could while I was in town. To my locals and those who have been to Flower and Garden so far, which topiary is your fav? I must say the Goofy blowing the dandelion was so beautiful and I loved the movement it portrayed! #flowerandgardenfestival #disney #disneyparks #disneygirl #travelcontentcreator

We will always have Florida ☀️ This weekend was just what I needed. Cleared my head, enjoyed some theme parks and spent much needed time with my people. Until next time, you’ll always have a place in my heart. ❤️ #flowerandgardenfestival #florida #wdw #disneyparks #universalorlando

A peep at my camera roll ✨📸 Exploring new areas and enjoying the spring/summer-like weather ☀️ I couldn’t ask for a better way to spend the weekend. Plus these coffee shop signs are everything ✨

This weekend has made my heart so happy 💕✨🌸 From dog sitting, finishing my first week at my new role, exploring and celebrating 10 years of friendship with taynavis 🤯 I couldn’t be happier! Brighter days are certainly ahead. 😊✨🌸💕

Sunny days at the vineyard 🍇🍷 Something you may not know about me is that I wasn’t really an alcohol person. I was always the DD and even when I turned 21, I was apprehensive to try anything. I had no idea what a good limit should be, what I should try and what I would even enjoy. As I have gotten older and have surrounded myself with incredibly supportive people who make me feel safe, I have branched out to try different drinks. Through this I have really learned what I like, what my limit is and what my body needs to really to enjoy these occasions. A couple of weekends ago we ventured out to wineryatbullrun for a wine tasting and it was just lovely! We had a wonderful server who took us through seven different wines (white and red) and told us what to taste for. It was such a cool experience to learn about how wine is made and what makes the different notes come through on some and not others. I highly recommend if you are in the area and interested in learning about wines in Virginia. All this to be said, I hope this encourages you to try new things and learn about the things that you maybe apprehensive about, you maybe surprised and find it is something you really enjoy. I do enjoy an occasional glass of wine and now I know that I like some red wines too! Plus is know what to pair them with if I do decide to have a glass. Anyone else have similar feelings towards alcohol? What have you discovered you like? Let’s chat below! #travelcontentcreator #winery #wineryatbullrun #virginiawines
