We’ve been lucky to have traveled to Santorini and Mykonos, and while I thought they were awesome, it felt like they were swarming with Americans trying to get the perfect selfie and overpriced restaurants and hotels. We did a lot of research and decided to travel to Sifnos, and it did not disappoint – everything I hoped for in a Greek island. Incredible views, wonderful people, delicious restaurants, gorgeous beaches. It was a bit of a journey to get here (fly to Santorini and 2.5 hour ferry, or fly to Milos and 45 min ferry) but we definitely hope to be back! Here are some of our faves.

My guilt-free watchlist for single moms: the TV shows, movies, podcasts, and audiobooks I turn on when the house is finally quiet.

Some entertain, some inspire, and some just help me turn my brain off for a little while. Save this list and drop your own favorites in the comments.

As the saying goes there is no manual, no book, no follow along tutorial to raise healthy little humans. We all make mistakes as we go along this journey called parenthood. The important part of the journey is as long as we can learn from our mistakes and aim to bring out the best version of ourselves as parents, we will bring out the best version in our little humans. I believe it is possible. A little love goes a long way. Here is what I have learned along the way and still keep on learning.
