The holidays are in full swing and I don’t know about you, but our house can start to feel extra chaotic really fast. The key to keeping it clean and tidy is honestly our Dyson V10 vacuum. From sprinkles all over the floor from baking cookies to Sutton and Grey dropping crumbs pretty much everywhere, this vacuum saves the day every single time. I have plenty more to say about it. but I do also have a few other tips to share because whether it’s the holidays or not, I get asked by you guys all the time how I keep our house so clean. It’s not perfect, trust me, but I will let you in on a few secrets! 😉

We just got home from a trip to Mexico with the kids, so I wanted to do an updated post about traveling with kids. I’m sharing what we packed for travel days, answering reader questions from throughout our trip and sharing travel & vacationing with kids tips.
