From quiet time to busy school morning routines, we’ll share how different environments shape our mornings and talk about the little habits that help us feel grounded and ready to take on the day.

Evening Routines Lately: Episode 507

Travel Daydreams & Destinations

Where would we go if time, money, and (ahem) kids were of little consequence? Where would YOU go? In our first episode in a three-part travel series, Meagan and Sarah talk about dream destinations and what kind of travel experiences we envision as we move out of the intensive ‘family travel planning’ years. We talk about how our personalities inform the way we think about travel, whether we aim for a ‘vibe’ vs. a specific location, and how we feel about traveling with our spouses.
