✨ 48 Hours in Chicago✨ Our quick trip to the ✨ 48 Hours in Chicago✨ Our quick trip to the Windy City was packed with incredible food, fun, and family time. From exploring Hyde Park to savoring a classic deep-dish at Giordano’s and diving into the sweetest fun at the Museum of Ice Cream, every moment was a highlight. We wrapped it all up with a sunset boat tour on the Chicago River, taking in the stunning skyline and reflecting on how amazing it is to experience new places as a family. Chicago, you were magical—we’ll definitely be back! What’s your favorite Chicago memory or a must-visit spot for next time? Let me know in the comments! #FamilyTravel #ChicagoAdventures #WindyCity #TravelWithKids #HydeParkChicago #DeepDishDreams
This recipe is the perfect mix of fresh, sweet, an This recipe is the perfect mix of fresh, sweet, and tangy flavors, thanks to the lemon blueberry marmalade and the light, creamy mascarpone coconut cream. 🍋🫐 ⁠ ⁠ The crêpes are delicate, golden, and slightly crispy around the edges. ⁠ ⁠ Here’s how you can recreate this delicious dish at home:⁠ ⁠ Ingredients:⁠ ⁠ Lemon Blueberry Marmalade: lemons, blueberries, water, and sugar⁠ Crêpes: eggs, milk, flour, sugar, and salt⁠ Mascarpone Coconut Cream: mascarpone, coconut cream, vanilla, and salt⁠ ⁠ The result?

This has become one of my go-to dessert recipes.⁠ ⁠ Have you tried making crêpes at home? ⁠ ⁠ #LemonBlueberryCrepes #HomeCooking #CrêpeRecipe #FarmToTable #LocalBites #CookingInspiration
Before I get to cooking, I’m gathering some insp Before I get to cooking, I’m gathering some inspiration and ingredients. I start at a farmers’ market in Denver, where I find the most beautiful local honey—the perfect sweet touch for my crêpes. ⁠ ⁠ Then, I make a quick stop at a local grocery store for fresh blueberries, lemons, mascarpone cheese, and more. 🫐🍋 ⁠ ⁠ There’s something so rewarding about using fresh, local ingredients—it adds another layer of meaning to every dish I create.⁠ ⁠ With everything in hand, I’m ready to cook! I’m recreating Le French’s Crêpe Suzette but with my own twist—swapping the traditional orange segments and mascarpone chantilly for a lemon blueberry marmalade and a mascarpone coconut cream filling. ⁠ ⁠ I can’t wait to see how these flavors come together!⁠ ⁠ #LocalBites #FarmToTable #CrepeSuzette #CookingInspiration #FreshIngredients #SupportLocal

Stay tuned to see what we pick up and how it all comes together!⁠ ⁠ #LocalBites #TasteTest #CrepeSuzette #SupportLocal #CookingInspiration #LeFrenchDenver
I used to think every family moment needed to be p I used to think every family moment needed to be perfectly planned to feel special. But I’ve learned that the best memories happen when we let go of the plans, take unexpected paths, and embrace the present.⁠ ⁠ Today in Morrison, CO, we wandered off the beaten path and found ourselves enjoying the calm and stillness around us. It was a beautiful reminder that sometimes the most meaningful moments are the ones we never planned at all. 🥰⁠ ⁠ #FamilyAdventures #MorrisonCO #OffTheBeatenPath #WanderTogether #UnplannedMagic #ExploreMore
Join us for a day of exploring Falls Church, VA! ⁠ ⁠ After living abroad, it’s fun to dive back into U.S. life by visiting local spots, checking out a classic American grocery store, and indulging in one of the most hyped-up treats—Crumbl Cookies! 🍪⁠ ⁠ Come along for the adventure and see what makes these simple moments special.⁠ ⁠ Have you tried Crumbl yet? What’s your favorite flavor? 😋👇🏾⁠ ⁠ #FallsChurchVA #ExploringLocal #CrumblCookies #LifeAfterAbroad #FamilyAdventures #USAExploring
I set a goal to read more this year, and I’m pro I set a goal to read more this year, and I’m proud to say I’m doing it—and loving every page! 📚✨ ⁠ ⁠ To keep up with my reading journey, even while traveling, I got a new Kindle Paperwhite, and it’s been a game-changer.⁠ ⁠ Right now, I’m diving into Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez for a light, fun read, and Atomic Habits by James Clear to sharpen my skills and stay motivated. ⁠ ⁠ What’s on your reading list? Let’s swap book recommendations! ⁠ ⁠ #BookLovers #ReadingJourney #TravelReads #KindlePaperwhite #AtomicHabits #AbbyJimenez

Feeling incredibly grateful for the journey we’r Feeling incredibly grateful for the journey we’re on as a family and all the memories we’re making together ❤️⁠ ⁠ It’s wild to think that it all began with a simple conversation in college. Gozie casually mentioned one day that he would show me the world—and honestly, I didn’t think much of it at the time. But here we are, years later, living out that dream in the most beautiful way possible.⁠ ⁠ Fast-forward to today: We’re a family of three, and our little one has already seen and experienced more than many do in a lifetime —and it’s just the beginning. We’re excited to continue giving him new experiences, new adventures, and new opportunities to learn about the world around him. 🌍⁠ ⁠ What I’ve realized is that it’s not just about the places we go, but the people we become along the way. Travel has shaped us, deepened our bond as a family, and constantly reminds us of how small yet connected the world really is.⁠ ⁠ Whether you’re traveling across the globe or spending a weekend exploring your local spots, the memories you make with your loved ones are priceless. It’s not about the destination but the shared experiences, and I can’t wait to continue sharing ours with you! ✨⁠ ⁠ #FamilyAdventures #TravelWithKids #MakingMemories #LoveAndTravel #GratefulHeart
