About Us
Hi and welcome to our blog! I'm Nicky, a mama to a lively 2-year-old boy. My husband, Alex, and I are excited to share our family's adventures, tips, and stories with you.
​
Originally from sunny Southern California, I moved to beautiful Florida over 10 years ago. Alex hails from Grand Rapids, MI, and together we've built an adventurous life in the Sunshine State.
​
Our blog is a reflection of our passions and interests. From fun activities and exciting adventures to travel tips and delicious recipes, we love sharing the things that make our family life special. We also have two adorable pups, a playful Boxer mix and a loving Yellow Lab, who often join in on our escapades.
​
Join us on our journey as we navigate life, one adventure at a time. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful memories with your loved ones. Thanks for checking out our blog!

Oahu, HI: The beautiful beaches, stunning hikes, and rich culture of Oahu have left us with some of our most cherished memories.
Florida Keys, FL: From snorkeling in crystal-clear waters to enjoying the laid-back island vibes, the Keys are always a favorite escape.
Destin, FL: Known for its white sandy beaches and emerald green waters, Destin is a perfect family getaway.
St. Pete Beach, FL: With its gorgeous sunsets and vibrant local scene, St. Pete Beach never disappoints.
Orlando, FL: From the magic of theme parks to unique local attractions, Orlando is a destination we always look forward to.
