The BEST time to travel? 🤔 It might just be sho The BEST time to travel? 🤔 It might just be shoulder season. ✈️

It’s that sweet spot between peak season and the off season, when you can often find better prices, fewer crowds, and still enjoy great weather.

And honestly, some of my favorite trips have happened during this time.

The exact months will depend on where you’re going, so always do a little research before booking. But if your travel dates are flexible, checking shoulder season is one of the first things I recommend.

You could get the same destination, the same beautiful views, and the same experiences… just with fewer people and potentially for a lot less.

Save this for the next time you’re planning a trip. ✈️

Have you ever traveled during shoulder season?

My Babylove @fotosbyfola In a world constantly t My Babylove @fotosbyfola 

In a world constantly telling us to choose ourselves, put ourselves first, chase our own desires, our own needs, our own happiness… you have spent over two decades showing me something different.

You choose me. You put me first. Even in the moments when I don’t always see it.

I am spoiled because of you 😂 and maybe somewhere along the way, I got so used to being loved by you that I forgot just how precious it is to be loved this way.

Thank you for always seeing me. For loving me. For never trying to change me, yet somehow making me a better person.

Thank you for the joy and peace you bring into my life. For being patient with me, for your kindness, for always being good to me, for being faithful through every season, and for the grace you continue to show me.

I thank God for you, my greatest blessing.

Happy anniversary & cheers to many more years together by God’s grace.

A few weeks ago, we celebrated my daughter’s 13t A few weeks ago, we celebrated my daughter’s 13th birthday in the most special way. 🥹💕 Thirteen is such a milestone, and when it comes to celebrating our kids, we’ve always been intentional about making their birthdays feel like them.

This was our 6th birthday party ever, and this time, I really wanted her to choose the things she loved. @BaubleBar was such a natural part of it because she already loves their bracelets and making her own jewelry. 

They provided the cutest bead kits for the girls to make bracelets and keychains, along with beautiful pouches personalized with each guest’s name to take all their goodies home in. The girls absolutely loved it!

Thank you #BaubleBar for helping us make her 13th birthday that much more special. And those personalized pouches? Let’s just say I was very tempted to snag one for myself. 😆

I linked the party kits and personalized pouches in my SHOP page/Stories along with a few more highlights from the celebration.

Here’s to celebrating the milestones, big and small, and making memories along the way. 💜💕

What Do You Mean….you’ve been traveling all th What Do You Mean….you’ve been traveling all this time and nobody told you?!

Okay, let’s get into it because some of these can actually save you MONEY.

- Cancelled flight: This happened to me! Hotel, transportation AND food were covered and best believe I still got my €600 compensation! Know your passenger rights.

- 3+ hour delay: Contact the airline! I’ve used ChatGPT to draft the email requesting compensation, miles or a travel credit. It works.

- Basic Economy: A cheaper ticket doesn’t mean applicable passenger rights disappear. Get your refund, credit or compensation when you’re entitled to it.

- Pay in LOCAL currency: When that card machine asks USD or local currency, choose LOCAL. Let your card handle the conversion and please travel with a card with no foreign transaction fees.

-Kids’ (under 12)flights: Stop automatically paying the adult fare. Some international airlines offer discounted child fares. Always check.

- Luggage tracker: It’s 2026. A tracker goes in EVERY checked bag. Knowing where my luggage is when the airline doesn’t? Priceless.

- Need a passport FAST? Urgent passport services exist and, in some circumstances, you can get one VERY quickly. And pleaseeee check your passport BEFORE booking that trip.

- Airline loyalty: With these ridiculous flight prices?! I’d rather be loyal to flexible CREDIT CARD POINTS. More airlines, more options, better value.

- Overpackers: I say this with love… we are NOT paying $100 because you needed 17 outfits for a 5-day trip. Post coming because we need to get you together.

Which one had you saying “wait… WDYM?!
SAVE this for your next trip and send it to your travel group chat. 

And if planning the trip is the part you’d rather leave to someone else… that’s what @tiwalajo is for.  We plan, you travel.  #traveladvice

She loved the set, asked where it was from, and next thing I know… she came with me to the pop-up, y’all😌

Because when the fit is fitting, apparently even Brandy needs the details. 👀
And yes, there may or may not be a little proof at the end of this Reel. (Watch to see😂)

Love that the Cannes Zuki pant set  that caught her attention was by a Nigerian designer too. 🇳🇬✨ they ship worldwide. Set available in other prints.

CHARCUTERIE BOARD MAKING WITH CRACKER BARREL CHEESE

This post was sponsored by Kroger.  All opinions expressed in the post are my own and not those of Kroger

Temperatures are rising and if you’re like me and entertaining friends and family is top on your list, I have got what you need to keep your guests happy and make you the hostess with the mostest. Today’s post is sponsored by Kroger and Cracker Barrel Cheese but all opinions shared are mine. Charcuterie boards are the perfect snack for any occasion and Cracker Barrel Cheese has all the variety you need to put a killer spread together. This was my second time making a charcuterie board and by far the easiest one to put together! All I added were fruits and nuts, Cracker Barrel Cheese had the rest covered and the best part is you can purchase these products at your local Kroger family store.

charcuterie board making

You can find Cracker Barrel Cheese products in the fridge section at Kroger stores. For my board, I decided to try a few options, after all, variety is the spice of life! Pictured below are the Extra white sharp cheddar cheese sticks, Cheese Dippers and Pretzels, Rich & Bold cubes and Pairing boards Jalapeno cheddar.

What I absolutely loved about the cheese aside from the great taste, is the variety of different cheeses available so you know even a cheese snob would find an option that they would love! Did I mention how yummy they taste!

I also picked up my nuts, fruits and spread from my local Kroger store.

I also love that I didn’t have to worry about cutting the cheese, which made it easy to display on my Charcuterie board.

The Cracker Barrel Pairing board comes with either salami or pepperoni and crackers, and the Cheese Dippers come with pretzels or pita chips.

Fun facts: Cracker Barrel Cheese has been in the business of making award-winning cheeses since 1954.

It took me minutes to put this together. Did I also mention that the price point is fantastic!
