Our Incredible Iceland Vacation

July 14, 2016

I never thought Iceland would be a place that I’d visit.  However, when my husband told me a few months ago that he needed to go to Iceland for a business trip, I asked him if the whole family could tag along.  Of course he said yes and I’m so glad that he did!  The trip was AMAZING!  Our Iceland vacation memories will last a lifetime.

The flight to Iceland is fairly easy.  We flew from Dallas to New York, then New York to Iceland.  The flying time from New York is just over 5 hours.  Not too bad at all.  We were in Iceland in June when the sun shines nearly 24 hours a day.  It’s fun and different, but not something I think I’d get used to.  People literally go golfing and do outdoor activities at 11:00 pm!

I want to share a few pictures from our amazing vacation along with a vlog type video that my daughter filmed and put together from our time in Iceland.  It’s definitely an inside look at our family dynamics too… Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions!!

I apologize, this video is no longer working. If I can find it, I will re-upload. Sorry about that! – Stacie

 You really need to watch this video!  It’s so much fun!!

I was proud of my action shot here and my husband was proud of his accurate snowball shot!

They have beautiful and powerful waterfalls.

The people were so nice and hospitable everywhere we went.  I personally loved how everything seemed to be so organized there too.  There wasn’t any chaos or anything like in the tourist areas.  Everything was pretty laid back.

What do you think?  Is an Iceland vacation on your bucket list yet?  If not, I highly recommend that you consider it!!

I’m sharing a few wardrobe staples from Amazon tod I’m sharing a few wardrobe staples from Amazon today. They’re pieces you’ll wear over and over again. I love that the pants have a nice amount of stretch and that the sweaters are so soft.💖

At a petite 5’1”, both pairs are a good length to wear with low heels, flats or sneakers. If you’re tall, they will definitely be cropped. Best of both worlds!🙌🏻

Everything is available in multiple color options. You can visit my LTK for details and exact links.😎

Happy Monday! Don’t mind me, I’m just showing off Happy Monday! Don’t mind me, I’m just showing off my new booties for a minute. They were great for my monochromatic casual dinner date outfit. Let me know if you want the details.

I’m thrilled to be nearly done with my holiday shopping. Next up is stocking stuffers for 7 adults, 4 children and 3 dogs and then I can wrap, rest and enjoy the season.

What I find to be the hardest part is getting things that are at least a little bit unique that I haven’t done in the past and that actually fit into Christmas stockings.🤶

Do you have any good ideas for me?😉
