Don’t travel without this car seat! 🚗✈️

If you’re a parent on the go, the WAYB Pico car seat is a game-changer.

We don’t like renting gear from agencies. I’ve heard too many horror stories. And traveling with three kids who all need car seats? That’s a lot of heavy baggage. 😅

To make our lives easier, we invested in the WAYB Pico—and it’s honestly been a lifesaver.

✅ Lightweight (only 8 lbs!)
✅ Folds to fit in overhead bins
✅ FAA-approved for flights
✅ NHTSA-approved for cars
✅ Installs in seconds
✅ Comes with a sleek backpack—with the car seat, it’s lighter than a school bag with textbooks! 🎒

🚨 Note: It’s forward-facing only, so best for kids 2+.

We’ve used it on road trips, flights, and even Ubers in Mexico. It makes traveling with toddlers so much easier. No more dragging three bulky seats through the airport!
If you travel often or just want to simplify your next family trip, this seat is a must. Yes, it’s a little pricey, but 100% worth it!

I’ve shared so much about our fun family getaway to Round Rock, Texas, but let’s talk FOOD. 🍴

We ate so well, and best of all, every spot we visited was kid-friendly. That meant fewer interruptions and actual conversations. Honestly, some meals felt like mini date nights! 😍

Here are the must-visit, family-friendly foodie spots in Round Rock that you don’t want to miss:

🍩 Round Rock Donuts – You cannot leave without trying their world-famous glazed donuts and the Texas-sized donut that's bigger than your head! The donuts are iconic for a reason and totally worth the hype!

🎳 Uncle Buck’s Fish Bowl & Grill – Great food + underwater-themed bowling = the ultimate kid-friendly win.

🍔 Hat Creek Burger Company – Casual vibes, tasty burgers, and a fenced-in playscape. It’s perfect for a laid-back family meal.

🎶 Backporch Social – Live music, great eats (think classic American and fair food), lawn games, indoor arcade room, and a chill patio.

🍕 B-Lux Grill & Bar – Giant, indulgent milkshakes and signature dishes like a hamburger with cheese curds topped with a chicken wing! Plus, it has a bowling alley and TVs playing kid-friendly shows.

🔥 MACS – Gourmet mac & cheese? Yes please. So many fun combos, and the portions were super generous!

🍭 3 Star Candy Shop – The sweetest stop! Old-school candy, Blue Bell ice cream, and chocolate-covered treats.

Round Rock totally surprised us with its amazing eats and kid-friendly vibe. I wish more cities were like Round Rock. 🧳💛

Steal My New Mexico + Texas Itinerary! 🏜️🚗

In 2021, we road-tripped 2,743 miles across New Mexico and West Texas—hiking 35 miles through 4 National Parks and 4 Texas State Parks. It’s still one of our all-time favorite adventures.

Here is a shorter version for 6 - 9 days! 👇

🛷Day 1: Go sledding + hiking at White Sands National Park
🦇Day 2: Explore underground wonders + watch the bat emergence at Carlsbad Caverns NP
🥾Day 3: Hike Guadalupe Peak (the highest point in Texas!) or Devil’s Hall at Guadalupe Mountains NP
🌌Day 4: Visit the ghost town of Terlingua + sleep under the stars in a bubble dome
🛣️Day 5: Drive the River Road in Big Bend Ranch State Park—one of the most scenic drives in the US
🌄Day 6:Explore Big Bend National Park—you can hike Santa Elena Canyon, the Hot Springs, and Lost Mine Trail in one day, but I highly recommend spending 3 days here

Save this for your next Southwest road trip!

Beat the Texas heat and enjoy a family summer getaway in New Braunfels! This Texas Hill Country destination is one of the best family getaways thanks to its many kid activities.

You can have a blast at one of the world's best waterparks, relax on a river float, get up close with animals on an African safari, experience the thrill of an alpine coaster and a miniature train, marvel at the largest cavern in the state, and so much more.

For a stress-free family weekend, our top pick is The Resort at Schlitterbahn New Braunfels. Yes, it's not just a waterpark, it's a resort too! We love staying here because it's within walking distance of the waterpark, and guests enjoy the perk of one-hour early entry!

Looking for a fun, family-friendly beach destination in Texas?!? Check out South Padre Island! Home to the best beach in Texas and known as the "Sandcastle Capital of the World."

You can quickly fill an entire weekend at South Padre with fun family activities and only scratch the surface of all the island offers. Check out my new blog post for more details, but here are a few things you cannot miss!

- Spend the day at Beach Waterpark. A trip to SPI, especially in the summer, is only complete with a visit to this epic waterpark. It has an iconic sandcastle aquatic playground with several slides for young kids, and a 1,400-gallon water tipping bucket!

- Learn how to build a sandcastle with sandyfeet sandcastle services. The Sandy Feet team teach you how to make epic sandcastles using everyday items like plastic silverware. Plus you get to spend time at the beach!

- Go on an eco-friendly dolphin watch with The Original Dolphin Watch. South Padre Island is home to several year-round pods. After watching dolphins swim in the channel, you can see marine life up close before they release them back into the water. We saw about five different dolphins, including a mommy with her baby.

- Enjoy family-friendly activities at Gravity Park South Padre Island. Drive go-karts, ride the Ferris Wheel, play a round of mini golf, and the two most thrilling adventures—ride a giant swing and the world’s tallest reverse bungee!
