I first sailed Sardinia with friends in 2013, so it felt full circle to return in 2023 and charter a catamaran with Dream Yacht Charter for a family vacation! The unique islands and turquoise waters make Sardinia the perfect sailing destination. We chartered a 42’ catamaran and hired a skipper which made the trip so comfortable.

Throughout my pregnancy, the number one comment I ALWAYS get is, “You’re not gonna need that.” And this goes for so many things — whether it’s baby registry items or things I’ve bought for the nursery. While “experienced” mamas might say that I’m overpreparing and not going to use half of it, I like to think of it like this: You can book a flight, see that they serve food, and bring nothing; you can also assume they’ll provide a thin blanket and pillow. Then when you arrive, you may be greeted with cardboard-passed-off-as-food and no blanket/pillow on a 10-hour…
