  • I’m treading water over here. But I’m also happy to be doing it! . Three months away this summer was a lot and it might take that long to really feel all caught up! . I’ve been thinking about our trips for 2020. We just booked a month back in Victoria for next summer, but I can’t decide where in Europe we should go? Or maybe we should go to Asia instead? Or maybe a grand tour of more of Canada? . Looking at these pictures of Ireland though, really wants me to put this at the top of our list because we’ve only seen a small slice of this beautiful land! . How is your fall going? Have you been to the pumpkin patch yet?
  • Today Pete and I spoke on a panel for online course creators. . This is one of our favorite things to do. We love getting to know other online entrepreneurs and helping those just starting to build their businesses. . Two things I always end up saying, no matter what topic we are speaking about, is: 1. There is always room at the top. There is room for everyone and instead of thinking you have to compete, change your thinking and send that energy to building a community where everyone works together to excel. 2. It takes work. There is no getting around that. You are going to I have to put in the time and a whole lot of energy to build your business. But this isn’t a bad thing. I look back on everything we put into getting to where we are with so much joy. It wasn’t always easy, but the feeling of pride that I have from it is something that you can’t get any other way. Plus we are doing what we truly enjoy so it doesn’t feel like “work” did when I had a 9 to 5 job years ago. . At the end of the day though, what it all comes down to is being brave enough to admit that you want something more and then doing what it takes to make it happen. . For me, when I look at these pictures from Brussels I can see the dreams we made all those years ago come to fruition. Of course, I have even bigger dreams now... but being able to show our girls the world and spend time together as a family is something I will never take for granted.
  • Brussels! . Did you miss me? It’s been days since I’ve been here... because... we had a little unexpected adventure thanks to Hurricane Humberto. 😱 . Yep, our transatlantic cruise was rerouted, we missed our port days in Canada and 4 days at sea turned into 6. . Don’t worry... we made the most of it! More later on that. . Back to Brussels. It was beautiful! It was fun. And it went by way too fast! . We ate waffles and chocolate (there were even vegan ones!) . We explored and took it all in and of course saw the Manikin Pis. . A good time was had by all! . We docked here in NYC just a couple hours ago, so I’m still getting my land legs back... but I’ll be sharing more of our time in Europe (and NYC) soon! 🥰
  • It has always been easy to teach my children about history from a book. You open the pages, read the lessons and then look at the images. They take it in and you hope they retain some of what they have learned. . What I have learned on this trip is that when they actually walk in these historical places, history comes alive. They start to realize that it happened to real people and it touches them (and you) on a much deeper level. . Growing up in the 80's the fall of the Berlin Wall was a big moment. I remember hearing about Checkpoint Charlie and knowing that there was an actual wall with people on each side that loved and wanted to be together, but couldn't. I knew that one side was under communist control, but I didn't completely understand just how bad it was. Even as an adult it was hard to invision. Coming to Berlin I was able to see the buildings, the towers, and the actual wall(s) and the area inbetween where few, if any survived being in. It all clicked. I know my teens felt it too. . But Berlin isn’t all history and learning. The city is vibrant and alive. The people are so full of happiness and innovation. We loved eating at all the unique restaurants, shopping, and taking it all in. . I have no idea if they will remember every moment we spent exploring the past or having fun in the present day Berlin. But I do know for sure that they will remember how they felt being here, and to me, that is just as important.
  • Walking tours are our thing. . We love seeing the sights on foot and learning from a local expert about the history and the ins and outs of a city. . In Berlin, we took the experience up a notch, adventure wise, and took a private bike tour compliments of @visit_berlin and @berlinonbike. . True to my nature, I was a bit nervous about this tour. I was worried about having the whole family biking and sharing the roads with cars. After our time in Munich, where the driving is pretty lively, I just kept hoping that Berlin would be a bit more mellow... and it was! . Our tour guide, Lauren (Happy Birthday Lauren!) with Berlin on Bike was so good at tailoring our ride to exactly what we wanted to see and our family’s riding level. She was also fantastic with her historical knowledge and making the whole time super fun for everyone in the family. . We saw some happy places and some sad places but they all taught us important lessons. . I really loved every single place we visited on this trip, but Berlin has a special place in my heart. . This bike ride was truly the cherry on the top of a pretty amazing sundae.
  • Have you ever been to an embassy? Thankfully, we have never had a need to go to one before, but we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to stop for a picture opp at the one in Berlin.
  • Berlin . We had the best time in Berlin. There is so much history and life in this city that has seen so much over the years. This was one of the places that I was most excited to visit and see with my kids. Growing up in the 80's the fall of the Berlin Wall was a big event. I was always intrigued (not the best word to explain it) with WWII, Communism and East and West Berlin. It was hard for me to wrap my mind around it all and understand how it all happened. . Berlin has so many museums and learning opportunities, not even including all of the plaques and things you can see just wandering around and we took it all in! . I can't wait to share every single part of our time in Berlin with you all. It is a must-have on your family travel bucket list.
  • I have no idea how Emmy gets her sisters to do some of the things she does. . I can’t say that as a teenager I would have been open to taking pictures with a nine year old calling the shots! Ha! . I remember Emmy saying “now put your leg just like this and smile at mommy”, and Maddie totally did it! 😂 . But that isn’t why I am posting this picture today. I’m posting it because we are going on a @disneycruiseline Cruise in 2 days!!! Yep, this whole European adventure is being topped off with an epic cruise home! . We are taking the same transatlantic cruise we did last year from England to NYC. We will be spending a few days in NYC and then flying home! . We have had so much fun in Europe and I still have so much to share, but after all this exploring I think we are all excited for some down time on the cruise with some Disney Magic thrown in for even more fun! . Did you see my hidden message there? 😍
  • So often when we travel we are surprised about random things we never thought of before. . For us in Prague, we were really impressed with how flavorful the food was. It wasn’t something I was expecting, not that I thought the food wouldn’t be something we loved, but I just hadn’t heard it mentioned before that the food would be THAT good... but it was! . The famous chimney cakes didn’t disappoint, of course, but all the other food we had was so flavorful! . We also loved the walking tour that we took with our private tour guide. Special thanks to @cityofprague for providing and arranging it. . I 100% recommended taking this tour which you can book directly on the City of Prague’s website. Our tour guide met us at our hotel, asked us about our preferences and planned a day we will never forget. We walked for miles learning all about this gorgeous city and it was invaluable to be able to ask her questions. . We saw so much more than we would have on our own because she knew so many special places we wouldn’t have discovered without her. . We even went into a gingerbread cookie store that smelled so good! It really made me want to book another trip back here during Christmas time! . #onlyinprague #cityofprague
  • No staged pictures here. I present to you the Reese family... in the WILD, Prague edition! You know the saying about how you can tell what is most important to a person by seeing what they take pictures of? Well, I think you can tell that for me, it is all about my family. So many of our tour guides on this trip have commented that they have never seen kids so willing to be in family pictures. The girls are pros at this by now and when you have a travel blog that the whole family is a part of, it just comes with the territory. But that isn't the real reason they are so good about pictures. The real reason is that they know that these pictures bring me unmeasurable joy to look back on, and they like to make me happy. 😍 These girls are such a gift. I never let a day go by without remembering that. We didn't have an easy time growing our family. And I'm still haunted by what it took to become a mom to each of them, but I wouldn't trade a single moment of struggle because they are the best things that ever happen to me (also Pete, I like him too 😂).
  • Twinning in Vienna! We had such a fun time in Austria! Every single moment was full of history and fun! Oh and shopping too of course! The girls couldn’t stop themselves from buying matching shirts. Emmy was so excited and I love that the big girls are more than happy to do things like this for Emmy. I am so lucky that they are all so close and truly the best of friends! . My dress loving heart was in heaven too! Everyone was wearing gorgeous long dresses. Back home it is still mixed with short and long dresses and I love this new trend of going long.
  • We took a quick stop at Franzensburg Castle in Laxenburg, Austria on our way from Budapest to Vienna. . It was supposed to be a place to stretch our legs and see a pretty castle. . Of course it ended up being way more than that. We all absolutely fell in love with this magical place. . This is for sure a place we want to come back for a full day. There are so many things to do on the 250 acre park, including renting boats, having lunch, exploring and more! . There is even a train that takes you all around!
