Zach and I have spent much of our relationship traveling the world together. As a child, I was fortunate enough to travel quite a bit; my mom and I tagged along with my father on many international business trips, and through work, I was able to spend time in France and Italy often. While I was spending time in Europe, Zach was off exploring nearly every continent.

Although Zach traveled considerably before we met, we certainly did not let that stop us from continuing to visit new destinations together.

Once we had our daughter, our travels slowed a bit and certainly more so now with the Covid pandemic, but it sure did feel good to pack up our bags and hit the road to Saratoga Springs for a jaunt this past weekend. 

From our many years traveling, we learned that not all luggage is created equal. I’m sharing here some of our most trusted pieces, including my Away carryon as pictured above, for extended weekends and expeditions across the globe.

| Lenox Luna Nesting Dinnerware Set / Home |

Lenox has the greatest dinnerware set that includes six bowls and two plates, hidden within a nesting set – perfect for dinner for two or a larger gathering with friends. The best part, when put together, the Luna serves as a compact centerpiece for your table or to have on display in a cabinet.  

 | LAKE Poplin Shorts Set / Style |

I’m a huge fan of pajama sets. They make it easy to be lazy in the morning because they’re so cute, you don’t need to change right away.  This poplin shorts set from LAKE is perfect for warm summer nights and mornings too.

| Stoney Clover Lane Classic Backpack / For the Kiddos |

One of the first items I bought before having Wesleigh was this backpack from Stoney Clover Lane. I love a good monogram or personalized item and I knew it would behoove us to have a backpack that would double as a diaper bag for day trips and overnights, so I ordered this classic backpack. To jazz it up I included Wesleigh’s initials in glitter and a fun rainbow patch. I figure this is an item that will continue to be used as she gets older.

 | Strawberry Jam / Food + Drink |

This simple fresh strawberry jam recipe from Martha Stewart. Requiring only three ingredients, it’s so easy to make, kids can help with each step along the way, including from the very beginning picking your own strawberries.

| Sydney Hale Co. Candle / Wellness |

With production in Richmond, Virginia, Sydney Hale Co. formulates high quality candles with the most amazing scents, practices sustainable methods and the best part, a portion of each sale is donated to animal rescue organizations. As someone who lights candles every day and supports local and national animal rescues, the Sydney Hale Co. is one I’m thrilled to support.
