I could write a love letter to the weekend. Any weekend, really. Those magical two days of mental bliss. No work stress, no “office hours.” Just relaxation and fun. Maybe a little sleeping in, maybe an adventure or two. I live for these days (and must work to fund them, but as the saying goes, […]
Hello and happy Wednesday! There is really nothing prettier than springtime in central Texas. The weather is getting warmer but not too warm and the wildflowers are starting to pop up everywhere, blanketing the landscape in beautiful bluebonnets. Even my wardrobe is starting to look a little more light. With all this color around us I […]
Thank goodness for Thursday, or “Friday Eve” as I like to say! We are past the mid-week hump and from here on it’s downhill to the weekend. This week has been so busy that I haven’t been able to post regularly, and for that I apologize. I’m going to be so happy to see my […]
TGIF!! I hope you’ve had an exceptional week and are ready for some weekend fun! I know that the Mr. and I have some *light* shopping and dinner planned, so be sure to follow me on Instagram (@cathedralsandcafes) for a story or two. 🙂 Today I’m sharing my 10 favorite European locales. I have the […]
Hello and Happy Wednesday! I’m taking this post back to Chile again, with some recommendations for fellow wine enthusiasts. We have been to some of the world’s best wine regions, having toured vineyards in France, Italy and Spain. So we were eager to learn more about Chilean wine making and sample some vintages we can’t […]
When it comes to international travel, my husband and I have spent most of our time in Europe. So when the opportunity to go to South America presented itself last month, we said yes right away. Going to South America in January means a nice break from wintery temperatures here in the States. It was […]
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Most years the Mr. and I celebrate quietly at home with a delicious home-cooked dinner, a nice bottle of wine, and maybe a movie. The comfort of home just sometimes can’t be beat. And honestly, while I do LOVE getting dressed up, going out to dinner, and the whole nine yards, […]
Hello and happy Monday! I hope everyone is recovering after last night’s history-making game! It has been rather gloomy, foggy, and cold the last few days and so I’ve been reminiscing on our time in the Cinque Terre. We were there in late July (yes, still playing catch up on my posts) and temperatures were […]
Italy is one of those magical places you could never see all of in an entire lifetime. Our first trip was 5 years ago and we knew we would be coming back again and again. During that trip we made sure to see every historical landmark, ruin, and museum we’d only ever seen in movies. […]
How is it already mid-May? It’s this time of year that has us consistently heading outdoors. It’s not super hot yet, with mornings and evenings still cool and breezy, so you’ll find us living on a patio sipping on something. It’s been a while since I’ve posted because we’ve had some really fun weekend things […]
