As a sort-of birthday present to myself this year, my boyfriend Glenn and I took a quick trip to Tulum, Mexico. I say “sort-of” because I was born on Leap Year Day and most years I don’t have a birthday so I take as much of February as I want to celebrate. Tulum is a […]
Read moreI’m so excited to bring you along on another Texas State Park adventure. This time, my dog Audi and I took a girls-only day trip 1.5 hours west of Dallas to Lake Mineral Wells State Park.
