    My Ultimate Travel Bucket List After the Travel Bans Are Lifted

    by Tykesha77 September 17, 2020

    Planning a Travel Bucket List might seem a bit overwhelming and even macabre. But surprisingly, creating this list has had the opposite effect.  I’ve always had a list of ‘things to do before I die’ in my head.  It wasn’t until COVID that I took the time to write my bucket list out. My initial list included goals for my health, and family, the bulk of my bucket list was all about travel (surprise surprise).…

    Touring Graceland in an Age of Reckoning

    by Tykesha77 August 14, 2020

    UNPOPULAR OPINION:  I like Elvis Presley. While I am not ashamed of this fact, I do understand that Elvis is a very polarizing character in the Black community. Long before I knew about culture vultures and racial appropriation, I discovered Elvis, the actor. As a latchkey kid, I watched a LOT of television and I loved musicals. At some point, I stumbled upon a campy “Beach Party”-isk movie starring Elvis and I was hooked. I…

    by Tykesha77 July 23, 2020

    Experience the best of New York City’s architectural history, culture, and diverse cuisine while staying in a swanky retreat in the heart of the Big Apple. Just a short distance from Manhattan’s bustling Grand Central Station, you’ll find condo-style amenities combined with great customer service at the Club Wyndham Midtown 45 resort. Upon check-in, I was greeted by the resort staff with an apple (for the Big Apple) and a “glass” of sparkling wine from…

    Thomasville, Georgia: Jack Hadley Black History Museum

    by Tykesha77 February 20, 2020

    I travel to Thomasville, Georgia, frequently to visit my dad who moved to the city a few years ago, after marrying a Thomasville native. In all of my visits, I never took the time to learn and explore the city until recently. I truly believe that history is the key to unlocking the DNA of a town, city, or region.  So, I did a little research to create a list of things to do and…

Introducing Aubrey, our first-born and the reason Introducing Aubrey, our first-born and the reason we launched MommaWanderlust.com. He just turned 7 last week, and he loves to travel almost as much as his momma. He has an insatiable thirst for knowledge and routinely drives us crazy with his questions. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This kiddo is super sweet and compassionate. He’s also the family jester — ALWAYS clownin’ 🤡. Aubrey recently discovered 90s sitcom Martin while watching YouTube with his dad...”Dragonfly Jones” is now his favorite TV character. 🤣 Aubrey cracks us up doing his own impressions of Martin characters. ⁠⁠

We went on a culinary tour of Kenya for spring bre We went on a culinary tour of Kenya for spring break. We didn't actually fly there, but we learned a bit about Kenyan food and culture with our new @eat2explore monthly subscription box. Kenya🇰🇪 was the theme for our first box. We learned a few Swahili words, and the kdis had a ball making Nyama with Ugali and Sukuma Wiki. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We just received our box for this month, and it looks like we'll be visiting Greece 🇬🇷!! Each month we'll receive a package that includes 3 recipes from the country of the month along with spices, a passport sticker and a metal pin featuring the country's flag. Check the link in bio to sign up. ⁠⁠
