My main goal here has always been to encourage you to make plans and make memories with your family. In light of the recent Coronvirus outbreak, that is shifting to look quite different than it usually does. Now, instead of venturing out around town or to new destinations, we get to spend time together at home. The message is still the same: Make Plans & Make Memories. Now get to make all of those memories at home while we wait things out.

The good news is that although we can't control everything that is going on around us, we can control what we choose to do with our time. Listen in to learn about the things that our family will be doing together over the coming days and possibly weeks as we work to make time spent in our home more meaningful.

There is something magical about getting your dreams down on paper. Not only is it a clarifying process but it allows the mind to be free from holding the information and gives you even more space to dream. This is why I believe that creating a travel bucket list will bring joy along with lots of inspiration for upcoming family vacations. Join me as I share my current travel wish list and I hope that it will inspire you to write down your dream destinations and allow you to find more joy and excitement in travel.
