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.

Baby Stuff For Cheap (or Free)
Welcome to our second trimester post! I’m sort of back to my normal self, but I get tired really easily and my brain seems to have succumbed to my pregnancy when I can’t think clearly. Other than that though, I’m still taking it easy, hence, the lesser amount of blog posts you see here (apologies!) On our first trimester post, I’m pretty much a zombie who’s always sick and tired all the time, so I did not have much time to devote to researching and planning.
