I’ve always love capturing our family adventures on camera - there’s nothing better than looking back at those moments together.

But I know the feeling of coming home from vacation and realizing the best photos are the ones you aren’t in! 😢

Let’s face it, as a mom, we’re more likely behind the camera rather than in front of it.

That’s why I’m excited about flytographer - local photographers in 350+ destinations who can capture real, joyful family moments wherever you travel.

If you want to check them out, the link is in my bio. You’ll save $25 off your first session and for the month of September, you’ll save $50!



** I may earn a small commission if you choose to book a flytographer photographer.

🚀 Did you know the CN Tower is more than just a pretty landmark? Here are some fun facts to fuel your next Toronto adventure!

✨ At 553 meters tall, it was the world’s tallest freestanding structure for 32 years! 👀 The glass floor? It can hold 35 moose (yes, you read that right)! 🦌

💨 If you're feeling brave, take on the EdgeWalk and go hands-free around the tower's ledge—116 stories high!

Perfect for your next family trip. Tag someone who’d dare to do the EdgeWalk with you! 💪

✨ Traveling with Kids? Here's a Game-Changer for Stress-Free Flights! ✨

✈️ We’ve all been there—struggling to keep little ones entertained mid-flight, wondering if that nap will ever happen... 😩 But here’s a hack that saved our last trip:

💡 Download a New App (or show) Just Before Boarding! 💡

Why? When it’s fresh and new, kids are way more likely to stay engaged longer. Plus, they’re usually so curious about it, it buys you a solid hour (or more!) of quiet time.

Bonus tip: Bring kid-friendly headphones 🎧 and a comfy neck pillow for those precious in-flight naps! 😴
