The McAnally Life Cliff Notes... So much has happened... I'll be honest since we moved from Ljubljana, Slovenia back to Monterey, California I needed a life break! I put my blog on the back burner and I focused on my career, family, and had a baby. In November 2017 we moved back to Monterey, California from Ljublijana, Slovenia. We thought[...]
Fall is my favorite time of year! Why not share it with everyone and host a Fall Favorites Party! In this blog post I tell you everything you need to know in order to host your very own Fall Favorites Party.
Tyler's parents came to visit us in Slovenia in October, and the one thing that they really really wanted to do was go to Venice, Italy. We were lucky enough to only live 2 hours away, and it was so close I honestly couldn't say no. Below is everything I did/wish I would have done. I hope this list makes visiting Venice with your children[...]
When we move to a new city everything is new and it can be a little challenging to find the "real" local places. We normally don't find our "spots" until 6 months in. Lucky for us, this is our 2nd round of Monterey and we pretty much know all the ends and outs of this area! With all the friends that we have moving here next month, I thought I would sha[...]
Everything you need to know before moving to Monterey California.
Hello! I've been super silent as this move from Slovenia back to The United States has been challenging! I'm super used to moving... this is my 8th move in 8 years, but what killed me this time was the amount of time our stuff took to get to Slovenia (74 days); we got our property, and our home in Slovenia felt like home FINALLY! Just to pack it all ba[...]
When we travel with our children, we do things that are educational and fun with our children. Tyler loves to go to museums and tends to do these things while the children are napping during the day. During the day, while the children are up, we try to do something as a family that we would all enjoy! Budapest, Hungary, made this very, very easy! B[...]
Taking a break from everyday life can be good for the whole family — but what if it doesn’t feel like a break? What if you come back from your holiday needing another one? You can’t control everything, but you can boost your chances of actually getting a breather by packing some key essentials. From speeding up travel times to keeping an eye o[...]
We made a quick stop in Bratislava, Slovakia on our way from Vienna, Austria to Budapest, Hungary. We were told not to stay the night in Bratislava as it was a small, boring town! I wish now I would not have listened to them, and I wish we would have stayed the night! I did not expect to fall in love with this city, and enjoy myself as much as I d[...]
Last month we were lucky enough to travel to Vienna, Austria. I honestly wasn't too excited to visit Vienna, I'm not the type of "traveler" that enjoys seeing things that every American comes to Europe to see. (Make sense?) I like to be the person telling the stories of the "unknown land" I guess that's one reason why I loved Bosnia so much, it's not a[...]
