5 Stunning Beaches in Turks and Caicos

1. TAYLOR BAY Ohhh this was SUCH a special spot! This small and quiet beach is on the southern, quieter part of the island (about a 20 min drive from Grace Bay). It’s the PERFECT for families with small kids as the water is super shallow and clear. So clear that we played with pool rings and could easily find them in the water/sand – crazy! The girls could walk so far out into the water and still be waist deep. More about Taylor Bay HERE. 2. LITTLE WATER CAY (IGUANA IGLAND) This was such a cool stop! The only way you can get to […]

4 Kids Beach Essentials from Amazon

We recently went on a family vacation to Turks and Caicos and I wanted to share a few items I  ordered for the girls for the beach! Hooded Towel Poncho The girls used these multiple times every single day of our vacation. These hooded towel ponchos were PERFECT for the beach and pool. It was so much easier than packing extra clothes and towels. They just wore there to/from the beach and pool. They dry quickly and are super thick and plush. We’ll use them for swim lessons too! FYI Lucy is newly 5 and has the 4-6 size, and Winnie is newly 3 and […]

I  had so much fun planning Lucy’s 5th birthday party and wanted to share some deeper dive blog posts about different elements of the party. Today, I’m sharing all about the party decor. You can find more about the party food HERE and party activities HERE. THEME + INSPIRATION Lucy told me months ago she wanted her 5th birthday to be ‘cheetah themed’ and we decided to just…go for it! Instead of just leaning into cheetah, I leaned into a more broad ‘colorful, safari, party animals’ vibe. I almost always order party supplies from Meri Meri, and while their Jungle + Safari collection is SO […]

Providenciales, also called Provo, is the main island […]
