World Travels

London, England with Two Children under 4!

London was so much fun! I don't like the normal "tourist sites" or the "big cities" everyone visits. I tend to enjoy the more low-key, small countries that don't get much credit. However, London threw that all out the window, and I'm so glad it did! I LOVED it!  How We Got To London Where do I begin... Let's see we flew out to London on Wednesday on a Wizz Air flight. Tyler arrived on Tuesday which worked out great because he got to see and do everything he wanted to do before we arrived. The boys an[...]

Parenting in Slovenia

When we first moved to Slovenia in December 2016 one thing that Tyler and I noticed right off the bat was Slovenians have the most well-behaved children and dogs! I'm not even kidding; I had to search hard one day to see a screaming child after many days of realizing that my children were the only ones screaming, not listening, and a total train wreck. I set out to figure out what they were doing right and what I was doing wrong. Below you will find what I've concluded from my research.They aren't helicopteri[...]

Pula, Croatia

When Tyler and I started to plan this year, we both decided that for everyone's birthday, we would make sure to travel someplace FUN! Lucky for us, we traveled so much the last couple of months we earned a free hotel with hotels.com. If you aren't familiar with hotels.com and travel ALOT, you need to hop on over and start booking hotels, to earn a free night's stay.  Tyler's birthday is March 27th, and I knew it would be a lot to have just been in Serbia to come home, wash our clothing and head out the[...]

Belgrade, Serbia

It's beginning to get really hard picking a favorite city! I mean come on I LOVE Bosnia, I LOVE Slovenia, I LOVE Serbia, we really haven't visited a place that I'm not in LOVE with! It's a GREAT problem to have considering all these places are places we could live for three years.  However, Serbia definitely left a special place in my heart! In Slovenia we have a nanny Natalija (really a good friend) that watches Heath during the day twice a week, so I can go out in town, run errands, have coffee wi[...]

Mostar, Bosnia with the Children!

It's not a secret I LOVE Bosnia! I LOVE Bosnia so much I'm always trying to figure out ways to get back to Bosnia. So when I found out that we would be traveling by Mostar, Bosnia on our way to Podgorica, Montenegro I suggested to Ty that we take a slight detour and visit Mostar the home to the famous bridge Stari Most (Old Bridge) . It was so worth the detour for many reasons! (I'll get to that in a minute!)  When we arrived in Mostar it was your typical Bosnian town. We found parking very[...]

Spilt, Croatia

We stopped in the city of Spilt, Croatia on our way to Montenegro, and it proved to be a great decision! I'm so happy that we got to spend the day in Spilt or "The Spilt" as I called it all day haha It was driving Tyler crazy! I thought it was hilarious and I tried very hard to drop "the" but just couldn't seem to drop "the" ha Poor Tyler.  We stayed at Hotel Luxe it was in the perfect location and had a parking lot! If you plan on renting a car or driving yourself I HIGHLY recommend staying[...]

Sarajevo, Bosnia

  Sarajevo, Bosnia is my FAVORITE city on Earth!! Yes! It beats Ljubljana, Slovenia, Monterey, CA, and even my hometown! It’s the town of my dreams! It’s fantastic, and I’m going to tell you why. So when Tyler first told me we were heading to Bosnia, I was like, uhhh I don’t want to go. When I mentioned Bosnia, people gave me weird looks and always said how dirty it was and how much cigarette smoke was in that city. They were right!  What they didn’t tell me was how cool it was. In wh[...]

Austria, Germany, and Italy Oh My!

This past week we traveled to Garmisch Germany! OMG!!  BEAUTIFUL it definitely lived up to its hype! The boys and I had a BLAST! We went into town and ate at a local cafe, walked around and took lots of pictures, I also got brave enough to take them both sledding by myself on the Alps!!  We stayed at the Edelweiss lodge in Garmisch, Germany. GREAT location, super close to EVERYTHING, it was a 2-second drive to the ski slopes, and seconds away from places to eat, and walk around.  O[...]
