Alex Prokaj’s Birth Story
Birth stories are fairly common now and each and every one is unique. Here is our own son’s birth story, which occurred this October 2019. Saturday. October 19, 2019 It was a rather rainy day. We had a full day planned ahead but unfortunately most of it got derailed by the weather. Our morning was supposed to start with us going around our community looking for garage sale finds. When the rain finally let up around 11am, we went out and walked around our street to see if anyone was selling anything but maybe the weather put everybody off the garage sale. Oh well. There was a Choose FI meetup…

Three Day Raleigh Travel Itinerary
Before we got pregnant, we were pretty much booking any cheap fare we can get our hands on. As long as the round-trip ticket is $100 or less, we are in, and one of those trips happened to be to Raleigh, North Carolina. Three Day Itinerary to Durham, Raleigh, and Winston-Salem North Carolina What is there to do in the area for almost 3 full days? Since we are quick travelers and it’s the middle of summer, we just wanted to see the cities, even though we love to do hikes in state parks when we travel (just not when it’s 100+ degrees outside!). It is best to rent a…

Tube Travel Pillow (Review)
On a trip to New York City this February, we got a chance to try out the Tube travel pillow as we flew up and back. The premise was simple: it is a travel pillow that also doubles as a free additional personal item on the plane. Tube Travel Pillow (Review) Yeah, it’s a travel pillow, big deal, there’s plenty out there – so what makes it so special? Well, instead of fake stuffing inside the pillow, you actually stuff your clothes inside it, so you save on space and on baggage. We got an opportunity to review the product since it was owned by another Jacksonville local, and why…

Travel Hacking Alaska: Planning Our Trip
When we got married in May 28, 2015, a crucial choice had to be made, and that was with regards to our honeymoon. Where in the world would we go? We’ve already been to a few honeymoon spots like Turks & Caicos, Cancun, and even Montego Bay so we definitely don’t want a beach honeymoon, and we definitely want something out of the box. We both knew that we needed to stay somewhere local – as we were going to apply for a green card for me and didn’t know how long it will take (at the time), so we eyed Hawaii or Alaska. The choice was made in the…
