Gear Reviews

The days of my husband and I being able to fit all of our worldly belongings in our two well-trodden backpacks have long disappeared, and have been traded for rolling suitcases, car seats, and copious amounts of snacks to get…

One trip around the world and four trips around th One trip around the world and four trips around the Sun… 🎂

This week we celebrated our littlest adventure kid turning 4! (Swipe to see a photo from his first birthday on safari in Kenya) 🥹

We love this spunky, kind, inquisitive, hilarious little man of ours and we can’t wait to see the grand adventures he takes in the next four years 🌏

Happy birthday, Bodhi! 🥳

THE busiest. This place is stupid busy but also THE busiest. 

This place is stupid busy but also crazy beautiful.

These quintessentially perfect rice fields, with their incredible symmetry, are unlike any others we found throughout our trip. The only way to beat the masses is to show up at sunrise (with all the other Instagrammers) before normal people arrive 🤣

There are dozens of cafes and shops that line the road, which force you to walk through and become a potential customer to get to the rice terraces. Once on the other side you realize that every other cafe/shop has some sort of swing/bed/prop for you to take your perfect IG photo- bonus! 😏

Real talk: This was definitely, by far, THE most touristy thing we did during our entire trip to Indonesia over four separate islands, and potentially during all our travels last year haha… but it was a fun morning nonetheless 🤪 

Sometimes it’s fun to just be “normal” tourists and do “normal” people things instead of going so off the beaten track and trekking through jungles to live with tribes, for example, but then we get a taste of how busy these places are and are reminded there is so much more to see if you step outside your comfort zone and be a bit more creative with your travels. You learn so much more about yourselves when you’re out there instead of following the masses ❤️

Not every playground needs a slide and swings… 😏

Outside Jogjakarta is a tiny fishing village built into a protected little cove. During the day a fleet of hundreds of turquoise boats are beached, waiting for their middle-of-the-night departures to get the best catch in the early morning hours 🌅

While the boats are beached they make the perfect jungle gym (regardless of whether you wanted to climb or not, you’re forced to maneuver over/under the overlapping stability beams if you want to make your way to this beautiful little beach) 😅

The kids entertained themselves here for HOURS, climbing around the boats, playing hide and seek, and swimming in the calm clear water until after the sun went down.

We ended this unexpectedly amazing little excursion with a $2 nasi goreng dinner at the only restaurant still open by the time we left the beach. The owners of the restaurant were so kind to let us use their showers to rinse off before our ride back to Jogjakarta, and even brought a huge bucket with hot water for Bodhi to take a bath in 🛁

One of our favorite memories from this trip for sure. Thank you, Indonesia, for your incredibly welcoming people, delicious food, and natural beauty. We can’t wait to return ❤️🇮🇩🙏

6 going on 16 😳 I’m not sure when Liv got so 6 going on 16 😳

I’m not sure when Liv got so big and grown up, but I’m so grateful we have these photos of her from this stage of her life 🥺

Seasoned parents always tell you that time goes by so fast, but when you’re a brand new parent to a tiny newborn it seems like some days and sleepless nights go on forevvvvver. 

But then one day you realize your squishy faced baby has somehow turned into a beautiful young woman, wise beyond her years, cheeky as can be (you can see it in her smile in the first photo 😏), incredibly kind to humans and animals alike, curious and full of never ending questions, and one of the biggest joys of our lives 😩😭❤️

So now we’re those “seasoned” parents, telling all those new parents all the things they won’t listen to either. But one day you’ll realize it really all does go by so so fast.

Absolute serenity, until you know the backstory be Absolute serenity, until you know the backstory behind these photos 😏

We just knew we needed to check out this famous water temple before we left Bali 😍 

We woke up in what felt like the middle of the night to drive a couple hours and try to make it to the the temple before sunrise… Once we got there I picked out the most disheveled (aka photogenic) boat, against the suggestion of the temple worker who really wanted us to take a super fancy swan boat 🦢 (presumably so we wouldn’t end up sinking in the 12” of water during our little excursion).

We then proceeded to run aground half a dozen times in the few minutes we were paddling around the temple, while our two very overtired kids continued to fight over whose turn it was to paddle, and Bodhi accidentally whacked Liv with the paddle no less than three times. 

All in all it was a great morning, but a wonderful reminder to us all that things aren’t always as perfect as they seem on social media 😉

I always get so sentimental towards the end of the I always get so sentimental towards the end of the year (that “Auld Lang Syne” song gets me EVERY TIME) and it’s only gotten worse since having kids 😅 

But I’m feeling truly grateful for the time we have with each other, the two little people we’ve created, and the life we’ve built full of adventures around the world 🌏 Because really all that matters is what you choose to do with the little bit of time you have here ❤️

Volcanoes + Vintage Landcruiser + DJI FPV = 🤯 Volcanoes + Vintage Landcruiser + DJI FPV = 🤯

Our 3 year old took us for an epic off-roading adventure through the “Sea of Sands” inside the absolutely massive 9x10 km Tengger caldera on the island of Java 🌋

This was one of our most favorite days in Indonesia! 🇮🇩 It started with a 2:40am wake-up call so we could drive a couple hours up a mountain and watch the most unreal sunrise over the smoking Mount Bromo 🌄

After sunrise we headed back down to the “Sea of Sands” to play around for a bit before climbing the active volcanic crater, with the aforementioned 3 year old on our backs 🥵🧗

P.S.: No children were harmed or put in charge of driving heavy machinery for the making of this video 😉

Wait for it… 😳🐢 This was our introduction Wait for it… 😳🐢

This was our introduction to Galapagos, about 3 minutes after we arrived at our lodge, so we should have known right then that we were in for QUITE a ride on those islands 😅

The abundance of wildlife in Galapagos is unreal, and staying at @villasmontemargalapagos where the tortoises roam just steps outside our villa was beyond our wildest dreams. 

There were SO MANY tortoises around and it was incredible to be able to see such amazing creatures wild and free! Definitely a place to add to your Bucket List ✅
