A New Dawnn

Where Every Day is a New Adventure

Places I’ve been

 

     

    Do you have a travel bucket list? I do and it’s something I add to almost every year. I love going through and crossing off destinations that we’ve visited and replacing them with a new travel dream. I’m a firm believer in traveling and exploring the world. Whether your start off small with a local staycation or you jump in and plan an epic cruise to Alaska, the goal is to just start!

    My Travel Bucket List:

    1. I want to see the Northern Lights
    2. I want to visit Alaska  Completed this 9/2018 You can read all about it HERE
    3. I want to Salmon Fishing in Alaska (we loved Alaska so much we want to go back!)
    4. I want to see the bioluminescent bays in Puerto Rico

    • Spending a little more on high quality, every day essentials is something I can totally get behind. Especially for necessities like bath tissue. @KhiLuxury bath tissue has a cloth-like softness, is practically lint free and feels so luxurious compared to other brands. But my favorite part? The 100% plastic free packing. We’re drastically cutting back on the amount of plastic that we use and consume and this is just another way to continue that lifestyle. Plus the cute box coordinates with my new bathroom and looks perfect displayed right on my latest DIY project, these. bathroom shelves! #khiluxury #ad • • • • • • bathroomgoals #bathroomremodel #bathroommakeover #bathroomdecor #bathroomdesign #luxury #bathtissue #DIY #DIYShelves #industrialpipedecor #industrialpipeshelves #industrialpipe #njblogger #nj #powderroom #halfbath #powderroomdesign #plasticfree #diyprojects

    • Last week I loaded the kids in the car for a trip to iFly in King of Prussia to try out the indoor skydiving experience! SCROLL THROUGH TO SEE ALL THE PICS! • It was our first time here and we LOVED it! We can’t wait to go back! We all took turns, even Evie! • The entire iFLY experience lasts about an hour and a half to two hours and is equivalent to 1.5 skydives! • There’s even a virtual reality experience based on How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. For this one, you wear a virtual reality helmet and fly with your favorite dragons right from the movie. • Overall it was an AMAZING experience and I can’t wait to do it again! • Have you been indoor skydiving at iFLY before? • • • • • #ad #ifly #iflyindoorskydiving #skydiving #skydive #kop #kingofprussia #familyfun #virtualreality
