May 5

may is the absolute best month of the year — my mind cannot be swayed otherwise — and here’s why… ☀️🌺🥑🎁🥩🎂🇺🇸

— the world has thawed, and we’re probably not looking at anymore snow
— time to plant flowers & bring beautiful color into the world again 🌸
— cinco de mayo usually kicks off my first batch of homemade guacamole for the season (recipe on my bio menu) 😋
— mother’s day, for those who celebrate, is a great excuse to congregate as a family and enjoy delicious food
— which brings me to… BBQ SEASON🔥 sure you can grill year-round, but it’s actually enjoyable when it’s above 50 degrees
— for me, may is also birthday month, so it certainly gets a line item on my list (plus i usually get a certificate for a really nice pedicure for mother’s day that i use on my birthday because self care gifts are my love language) 🧖🏼‍♀️
— many have memorial day off, and who doesn’t love an extra day off?? — especially when it’s the unofficial official start to summer⛵️

share what you’re looking forward to this month!

how’d mine turn out?! honestly, i’m on the fence. 😂 this is just a for-funsies tutorial of how to most effectively get to a final product you love using the free chat.gpt app.

pro tip: if you still aren’t happy with the final product but run out of edits for the day, save the version you love the most and upload it with your next set of changes when you have edits again!

let me know if you try it and how yours turned out!

ash & kev are heading to… thailand 🇹🇭
and we’re staying at the white lotus!

jk

but on a real note, we’re saving the third season for the 22 hours of plane time we have coming up, so no spoilers. 🤫

in the almost 13 years we’ve been together this is only the THIRD time we’re flying together. i flew so much for work right out of college, and he still does it for work regularly, but we always end up in the car for family vacays. 🤷🏼‍♀️ so we’re actually fairly seasoned travelers (i’m just a lottttt rustier). it’s going to be fun!

AND, fingers crossed they don’t sell out, because if they don’t, we have enough points for the lay down seats on the way back. 🛏️✈️

❗️send all your long haul travel tips (and products) my way! 💁🏼‍♀️ i’m planning on doing a LOT of blog writing since long blocks of uninterrupted time are a scarcity these days, but i know i’ll need to mix it up.

**old photo from our last 30A trip; love my daughters with everything in me and am going to miss them so much, but this is a parents only trip**
