The Most Budget Friendly Family Spring Break Vacation- Park Royal Cozumel, Mexico

December 14, 2016December 14, 2016pedisnpassports

Not sure about you, but come January, we are typically fantasizing about a spring break beach vacation that won’t break the bank after all of the holiday spending. You may even lose faith and consider staying home to clean closets or reorganize your garage rather sipping Pina Coladas or enjoying the rhythm of a poolside Mariachi band.

Well have no fear, for we have found the most budget-friendly tropical vacation with many direct flights, a small convenient airport minutes from the pristine resort, the most delicious food and the warmest staff-Park Royal in Cozumel.

A Beautiful Winter Tradition–The Christkindlmarket In Chicago and Now In Naperville

November 25, 2016December 14, 2016pedisnpassports

For the past three years, we have begun a beautiful Christmas tradition. We head to Chicago for the most amazing German Winter Festival–The Christkindlmarket. This glorious festival instantly transports you into a snowy European village at Christmas time. From the smell of hot chocolate (with the best whipped cream) and spiced mulled wine, to the quaint wooden huts selling authentic German fare, to the twinkling lights and colorful Christmas decorations, the sweets, beer steins, and traditional German cuisine, –this place will certainly fill your heart with the spirit of Christmas!

How To Choose Your Travel Destinations

November 17, 2016November 17, 2016pedisnpassports

The most popular question we’ve been asked since we’ve started blogging:

How do you decide where you want to travel?

Of course time and budget play key roles in this process, but with so many choices, how does one possibly whittle things down to any decision at all? Spin an inflatable globe? Blindfold Brooke and have her pin the tail on the map? Throw darts at our scratch map? Yes, we’ve tried all of these but there has to be better ways to make such globally sound decisions:)

Loving My RajRang Mandala Tapestry

November 5, 2016November 5, 2016pedisnpassports

Hi All! It’s Brooke. I have to tell you I’ve been in love with Mandala Tapestries since I saw my first one on a You Tube video. It was hung on a wall in a bedroom and I immediately knew I had to have one of those for my room! I researched a few different companies and found that Rajrang had by far the best variety with the richest colors and patterns I’ve ever seen. Rajrang’s mandalas were also within my budget so I was super excited!

I Adorn U Jewelry — I love this gorgeous mandala!
