POV we love our kids just not enough to sit next to them for 6 hours 😂✈️

Booked Mom and Dad first class
Booked kids the character building section aka economy

Because nothing says family vacation like warm towels snacks and pretending we don’t hear MOMMMMM from row 32

They’ll be fine
They have snacks
They have iPads
They have each other

And most importantly they have ✨humility✨

Honestly we’re just teaching independence
And by independence I mean figuring out how to open their own snacks while we enjoy a little peace at 35000 feet

Parenting tip
You can love your kids deeply and still not want to share an armrest with them

Started our trip in St. Thomas… then a week sailing the BVI’s 🌊✨
Getting ready while traveling hits different when you’re living out of a suitcase + chasing kids + chasing sunsets 😅

Comment PACKING if you want my full travel list 👀

Island hopping through the BVI’s with three families to celebrate her ageless birthday… and somehow I still catch myself having those quiet moments of guilt.

Because this life? It didn’t start like this.

I grew up where you didn’t waste, you didn’t splurge, and you definitely didn’t book a year-out trip hopping boat to boat in the middle of the ocean. So even now, after all the planning, all the excitement… there’s still that voice that whispers, “is this too much?”

But here’s what I’m learning…
there’s never enough money… and there is certainly never enough time.

So do you.

Get the hair. Get the thing. Book the trip. Take the photo. Laugh too loud. Stay a little longer.
Live now… figure it out later (and yes, still invest your 20% because we’re not completely unhinged 😂).

Just… don’t wait your whole life to feel your life.

Grateful. Humbled. Trying to hold both at the same time 🤍

POV: you’re trying to film one cute vacation clip
and the ocean humbles you immediately 🌊💀

Why is getting content harder than the actual trip 😂

Comment “REALITY” if this is you too 👇

POV: preparing for vacation is a full-time job… unless you’re Bobby 😅

Me: hair extensions, mani/pedi, spray tan, 12 outfits I definitely needed, new swimsuits, emergency Amazon orders, re-packing 4 times…
Bobby: took a shower.

The real question is… why do we do the MOST just to end up living in the same 2 coverups all week? 😂

But honestly… 10/10 would do it all again because this trip = core memories unlocked 🌴✨ Ending it at The Westin St. Thomas was the reset we didn’t know we needed.

Tell me I’m not alone… what’s ONE thing you must do before every vacation?! Drop it below ⬇️

POV: you raised a professional stay-at-home daughter… and now she’s rebranded as a full-time UV index reader in the British Virgin Islands 🌞

She checked the UV once, declared it “raft-worthy,” and promoted herself to Head of Float Operations.
My son? Just along for the ride (and snacks, obviously).

Honestly not sure if I’m funding a vacation or a very niche career path at this point—but she’s thriving, so we support the vision.

Follow along because her next promotion is probably “Chief Sunset Reviewer” and I refuse to miss it 😭 @voyagecharters

POV: you land in paradise and immediately forget what stress feels like 😅

We just touched down in St. Thomas and pulled up to @WestinFrenchmansReef… and I swear my entire personality shifted to “island mode” instantly.

This place is that perfect mix of luxury + actually kid-friendly (which is rare). Multiple pools for every vibe, insane ocean views, and somehow we were checked in and relaxed before I even finished my airport snacks.

I already know we’re not going to want to leave.

👉 Go watch my stories …. I’m sharing everything in real time (rooms, beach vs. pool, all the chaos + magic). You’re basically coming with us.

Save this …. full itinerary coming soon ⭐️
