January Wrapped 🗓️
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
We landed in Cape Town mid-January and hit the ground running.

Oliver and I packed up our life and moved abroad for a year — chasing a simple question: what’s the best that could happen?

My parents joined us for the first month — which meant extra hands, loving support, and the sweetest way to begin this chapter.

Between toddler sickness (IYKYK) and playing full-time tour guide, we somehow managed to squeeze in so much life.

A long weekend in Paternoster.
Glamping under the stars at Camp Canoe.
Summertime in the city.
Oliver starting at his new preschool.
Adventures through the Cape Winelands.
Slow weekends at the farmer’s market.
Afternoons stretched long at the beach.

It’s been messy and magical.
Exhausting and energizing.

Somewhere between pharmacy runs and beach swims, it started to feel less like a move…

and more like the start of our biggest adventure yet! 🌍

Sun-drenched mornings, salty air, and the kind of place that makes you instantly exhale @waldorfastoriacostarica ✌️

Our stay at this brand-new property was truly a dream — sweeping ocean views, elevated design, and more pools than I’ve ever seen at a hotel in my entire life.

From award-winning wellness to coconuts by the pool, every detail felt thoughtful and intentional.

🧖‍♀️ The Spa
Recently named Costa Rica’s Best Resort Spa, this sanctuary blends modern wellness with local healing traditions — volcanic mud rituals, rainforest-inspired therapies, and grounding treatments that leave you floating.

🛎️ Amenities
World-class service, beachfront access, a stunning collection of pools (truly — endless), curated experiences, and those sweet elevated touches everywhere you turn. Newly opened, yet already operating like a seasoned 5-star icon.

💦 Kids’ Club
One of the coolest spaces for littles — crafts, games, toys, and outdoor play areas that made traveling with Oliver feel easy (and fun for him, too).

🥥 The Food & Coffee
Fresh, locally sourced Costa Rican flavors with elevated execution. Oceanfront bites, poolside snacks, handcrafted coffee experiences, and yes… plenty of coconuts.

🌿 Sustainability
Proud holders of the Bandera Azul Ecológica for conservation and environmental efforts — luxury and responsibility beautifully intertwined.

We truly cannot wait to come back. ✨

If you’re looking for a luxury, family-friendly escape in Costa Rica — this is your spot.

A huge thank you to @waldorfastoriacostarica for hosting us on this sunshine-soaked getaway.

This isn’t a hotel.
It isn’t a resort.
It’s ONE vacation home — and it might be the most epic one I’ve ever stayed in. 🤯

We stayed at @lazyriverresort in Palm Springs with 4 families and 11 kids — and I can confidently say this is the ultimate group vacation house. From morning lazy-river floats to arcade tournaments to movie nights, you truly won’t hear “I’m bored” even once. (Parents… you know how big that is. 😅)

This place is a private mega-estate designed for groups that want to actually stay together — without sacrificing space, comfort, or fun:
✔️ Sleeps a massive group (25+)
✔️ Iconic bunk room with 8 queen beds
✔️ Private lazy river + water slides
✔️ Full arcade + movie theater

It’s perfect for all kinds of groups — the ultimate setup for birthdays, reunions, bachelorettes, retreats, or those long-overdue “let’s all finally travel together” trips.

And the cherry on top? The @staywandery concierge service. They helped us coordinate an in-home hibachi dinner night (yes, comedic chef + fire + kids losing their minds). They can arrange everything for your visit from private chefs to photographers to yoga instructors — making group travel easier and more memorable. ✨

It’s the kind of place where you don’t need a packed itinerary — the experience is the house.

Tag your group — this is the trip you’ll be talking about for years!
