“I don’t know exactly what the future holds, but I’m stepping forward with grit anchored in grace.” How’s everyone holding up? I’ve been pretty bummed with everything that I’ve had to cancel so far and possibly more to come BUT what has helped my mind get through it is. I know I’m not alone feeling this way. There’s millions of people going through the same thing. I’m hopeful and excited for the future. #nevermissasunrise #sunrise #mexico #tulum #travelphotography #planetwanderlust #coronacation #beachvibes #thisismyhappyplace #colorsplash #memoriesforlife

“Isn’t it crazy to think that a person who is a stranger to you, at some stage will come into your life and become your family. One family you are born into, you can’t choose them but you will always love them. Your other family you will meet one day, it might be at a party, might be online , might be on a beach in Thailand.”-MarieandJakeSnow. Isn’t love crazy??

Shedd Aquarium's Vision A world thriving with aquatic life, sustained by people who love, understand and protect it. Here, there and everywhere, Shedd Aquarium connects nature lovers and animal enthusiasts with the aquatic animal world. Beluga encounters, beach clean-ups and 360 virtual dives with Caribbean reef sharks are all tools that deepen connections with wildlife and work toward this vision. ********************************** For Brooks Birthday this year I decided on surprising her with a trip to the Shedd. Do you throw parties for your kids birthdays or do you gift them experiences? #chicago #chicagobucketlist #igtravel #mommytime #worldtraveler #instakids #candidchildhood #childhoodunplugged #familyadventure #exploringtheworld #traveldeeper #childhoodmemories #planetwanderlust #lonleyplanet

Now that it’s getting cold outside and you don’t know what to do to keep the kids occupied. This is the perfect opportunity to check out @toysrusadventure downtown Chicago. They have fun rooms to let the kids burn off some energy and trunks full of treats in each room. Definitely a must do if you’re in Chicago #chicago #chicagobucketlist #chicagoblogger #exploringhome #childhoodmemories #candidchildhood #iphonephotography #exploremore #cityguide #traveladdicted #planetwanderlust #lifesizetoys #mysecretchicago

We are on our way to the toysrusadventure and just exploring Chicago a little. #toysrusadventure #chicago #chicagobucketlist #chicagohome #explorechicago #chicagolife #therealchicago #chicagogrammers #mychicagopix #downtownchicago #windycity #chitown #chicagoland #sisters #candidchildhood #exploringhome #citylife #mysecretchicago

“Life is meant for spectacular adventures.

When we traveled to Oahu.. I had a list of places we absolutely had to stop at and explore. This beach was on our must see list. To get here was a little challenging and it’s a small entrance path between houses. The water is crystal clear and the coral had tons of fish (which I wish I could show you..unfortunately my GoPro camera was dead when we arrived here) but you do have to be careful of some man of war jellyfish..which I got stung on my hand by a small one.
