Welcome to Magnolia + Sunshine: Family Travel Made Simple

Hi friends — and welcome!

Whether you’ve followed me since the Sara’s Magical Memories days or you’re just now discovering this little corner of sunshine, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Sara — a wife, mom of two, travel planner, and the heart behind Magnolia + Sunshine Travel Co.

This isn’t just a new name. It’s a new chapter.

A rebrand filled with purpose, heart, and a whole lot of joy.

Why Magnolia + Sunshine?


The name is deeply personal. It’s inspired by my daughter, Magnolia, and the light I want to bring to every family’s travel experience. Planning a trip — especially with kids — shouldn’t feel overwhelming. It should feel exciting, intentional, and full of sunshine.


This business is built on that belief: that travel is more than a vacation — it’s a way to connect, create memories, and celebrate the season you’re in.

🌤 Sunshine for Your Soul

“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” — Proverbs 16:3, ESV

This business — this space — was never meant to be built alone. Every trip I help plan, every email I send, every word I write here is a step of obedience and faith. If you’re a mama chasing dreams in between snack time and soccer practice, let this be your reminder: God sees your heart. Dedicate it all to Him — and trust that He’s guiding every step.
