In honor of Kevin's birthday last week, I decided to share a Men's Birthday Gift Guide! I don't know why but I find shopping for guys to be super frustrating. It always seems like they have everything and need nothing. Continue reading to see the full list of gifts ideas!
We booked this trip last minute, in true Kara fashion, when we realized this may be our only opportunity to get away before the baby arrives. It was a baby moon, family vacation, spring break and a celebration of me going back to work all wrapped up into one trip. We traveled with Palmer and Kevin was working remotely Monday - Wednesday so it wasn't a super relaxing vacation by any stretch but it was a nice change of scenery and a chance to see some sunshine.

I realized quickly after arriving in Florida that I didn't pack Palmer or myself enough layers. I thought I had this packing thing down but turns out I'm still learning. My post today is pretty specific but it's the second time we've run into this issue so I feel like it warrants a share. At the very least maybe I'll stop making this mistake!

Apparently it's a thing! We just returned from our family trip down to Rosemary Beach and I'm a bit obsessed with this area. I'm planning to share our full itinerary soon but first I want to cover the 30A area of Florida because I had never previously heard of it. Technically, 30A [aka County Road 30A] is about a 20-mile stretch in the Florida panhandle between Destin and Panama City.
