🔆Have you traveled this summer?🔆 Between COV 🔆Have you traveled this summer?🔆 Between COVID, buying/renovating a house, and Ez hating the car, we've stayed put. But with the newness of our neighborhood wearing off and going on 6 months of the same old stuff, we all needed a change of scenery. And quickly after arrival, I already had a list of #dosanddonts in mind for future #staycations 🙈🤓 Below are a few less-than-pro tips from our weekend. I'd love for you to share any ideas or experiences in the comments below! And if you have any recs for hotels within an hour-ish from Austin, let me know! ❤️❤️

🔆🔆🔆DO🔆🔆🔆
🔸Choose a property with hotel room doors that open to the outdoors. It was such a relief staying at a place where we could minimize touching public surfaces. 
🔸Stay in a place that is closed to the public and requires reservations for amenities. I loved being able to make reservations for the pool area and being able to keep our distance from other guests. It was stressful that the time slots we wanted were full on the first day, but it ended up working out both days. 
🔸Stay in a place that has green space. Nobody wants to stay couped up in a hotel room, so having access to nature or a grassy area is hugely helpful. 
🔸 Stay in a place that has on-site/flexible food options or is in a good delivery zone. I liked that the staff here was more than willing to bring our food out to an empty pavilion by the lawn near our room.
🔸Give extra smiles and tip generously if you're able. Many hospitality employees have been out of work and/or have reduced tips/income based on establishments operating at lower capacities. Extra tips and being friendly go a long way!

🔆🔆🔆DON'T🔆🔆🔆
🔸Visit a densely populated area. Shame on me for thinking #thedomain would be a safe place to visit, but it wasn't. Within the limits of our hotel was fine, but as soon as we walked near other businesses we could see packed patios, crowded sidewalks, and more unmasked people than I've seen since early March. Our next #minivacay will be more secluded. 
🔸Ok other than doing the opposite of the DO list, I only have one DON'T 👆🏻👆🏻

And I shouldn't have to say this, but our hotel stay/meals were #notsponsored ✌🏻

Challenge accepted 🤍🖤
#womensupportingwomen 
Nominated by @atxfitfoodie & @ambermcho - two of the most supportive women I know 🤍🖤

A long time friend of mine (@katiewyattreynolds , another strong and supportive woman) shared a post about how this challenge is "basically useless and self serving". I'm not calling her out, it just got me thinking. I also sent her a text nomination. Hugs, KT 🤗

Basically useless is super objective. What's useless to one might be inspirational to another, no? Do women inherently find self promotion challenging? I think so (I do 🙋🏻‍♀️). I saw this challenge as a gentle nudge to let a woman know that you're thinking about her, you see her, and you acknowledge her challenges (both seen and unseen). 2020 is ROUGH. Seeing these messages felt like a hug in a time when hugs aren't allowed. 

Is this challenge self serving? I'm not sure, but so what if it is? This self needs to be served from time to time - putting everything else first all the time can't be good for ya, right? 😉

Do you know any #blackowned restaurants in Austin that could use some love in the form of coverage and photos? LMK in the comments below and I'll make it a priority to pay them a visit and send over some content 📸💞
Have a friend who lives in Atlanta⁉️ Tag 'em‼️My friend @kesi_p recently launched @peachstatedrinks, a #blackowned #womanowned ATL beverage company that makes fresh brown sugar lemon-aid, and it is sooooooo good! 🍋🍋 Like the kind of good where you tell your kids that it's all gone so there's more for you 🙈 We ordered the original and strawberry lemon-aids (they'll ship!), but there's a mango lemon-aid too 🙌🏻 Check them out and make this summer extra delicious 🍹☀️ #atlantageorgia #lemonaid

And by turning our home into the ultimate giggle factory, you've made my biggest dream come true. Haven, Ezra, and I are the luckiest. We love you so incredibly much!! 💞💞

As a mother, I am fearful of so many things. But I will never understand the fear held deeply within a mother of a Black child. ⠀
My husband and I are listening. And we will continue to hear your stories beyond next week, next month, next year. Because in trying to understand your experiences, we will be able to raise our children better than with our experiences alone. They, too, will be allies because we will do the work. We will not be silent today, next week, next month, next year. ⠀

Do you and your partner take your coffee the same Do you and your partner take your coffee the same way? ☕🥛🍓 #ad Kody & I are about as opposite as it gets when it comes to how much @a2milkusa Sweet Cream we use in our coffee ☯️ But one thing we do have in common is that we love that @a2milkusa cows are fed a plant based diet and are not treated with growth hormone rBST 🙌🏻 These cows naturally produce only pure a2 protein (not a1!), which is easier on digestion ♥️ @a2milkusa makes regular milk in addition to coffee creamer, both of which can be found at your local @sprouts 🌿 #a2milk #lovemilkagain
Happy Mother's Day 💐👑 It's been a trying tim Happy Mother's Day 💐👑 It's been a trying time for most of us and, as we spend more time getting used to the way things are, I hope you're stumbling upon ways to make ordinary activities feel special. Dining outdoors has been huge (HUGE!) for us, especially the kids ☀️ ⠀
I'm beyond grateful that the outdoor dining set gifted to us by @thenovogratz arrived just in time for birthday & mother's day festivities 🎉 The table is as hip as it is well made, making us feel like we are dining on the patio of our favorite restaurant 🌿

There are SO many items I love on @thenovogratz website 🙌🏻 Check out my stories for a handful of my furniture crushes 🥰

Plus, this @firstalert fire extinguisher is lightweight and easy to use! Hope everyone is #shelterinplace -ing safely! t #readyathome #firstalert
