Happy Friday, everyone! As you read today’s post I am either in the air or have landed in Las Vegas! As I mentioned in my reflections post earlier this week, I turned another year older. And I’m completely ok with it. I’m actually pretty proud of it. I’ve made it this long on Earth and […]
Wow, haven’t done an Instagram recap in a long while! Things have been steadily busier around here and we’ve been traveling some, too, which I’ll never complain about. I think I could just about be gone every weekend. Are you a homebody or do you like to find an escape every now and then? We […]
Happy Travel Tuesday! Today I’m so excited to share part two of my four-part Greek travel guide series – all about Mykonos! Head over to part one – Eat+Stay+Play: 2 Days in Athens – in case you missed it. As with all my travel guides, don’t forget to access my free downloadable pdf of quick links […]
Welcome to the first of my four-part Greek Eat+Stay+Play series – 2 Days in Athens! I’m working on guides for the islands of Mykonos, Naxos, and Santorini as well. Greece has so much to offer. I’m not sure why it took us so long to finally get there, but I’m so glad we went. Most […]
Well, nothing like disappearing from your blog for nearly a month! I promise I am still around and among the living. We returned from two absolutely amazing weeks in Greece (get ready for my Greek edition of Eat+Stay+Play) and I’m slowly getting back to reality. I hope you followed along on Instagram (@cathedralsandcafes) where I […]
We are not strangers when it comes to visiting a winery or vineyard. In fact, we have been to vineyards in Spain, France, Italy, Chile, Texas, and now California. Through our experiences we’ve taken a much greater interest in winemaking and our home cellar continues to grow by leaps and bounds. I love sharing wine […]
Wow, I have really fallen down on the Instagram recap for you all. I’m so sorry about that, but I have a very good excuse. I just returned from 5 fabulous days in California (check out my Eat+Stay+Play guide on the blog) and I’ve been running around like a crazy person getting ready for an […]
Returning from a restful getaway to cold hard reality is never easy. Returning from a restful getaway in California has proven even more difficult. My mom and I spent five days in The Golden State for a much needed girls’ trip. California completely took hold of my heart, making it ever so painful to wrench […]
Happy Friday, everyone! I don’t know about you but I’m more happy that it’s Friday than usual. It’s been a crazy and exhausting week. I’m really looking forward to spending the weekend at home with those I love most. I think we are planning a trip to the farmer’s market and just getting outside a […]
This week’s Instagram recap is just a couple days late because we have been enjoying every minute of the long Memorial Day weekend. We enjoyed grilling out, attending the San Antonio Parade of Homes, having a pool day and just getting caught up on some much needed rest. If you followed my Instagram stories I […]
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, […]
TGIF! I want to start by thanking everyone who has stopped by this little blog of mine and liked a post, made a comment, or followed me. It means so much when you put a great deal of effort into something and then see how much others enjoy it and appreciate it. Thank you all […]
I can’t believe we’re looking back on April already. It seems like I just posted my March Round-Up. I hope that it was a fun month for you! We certainly had a packed 30 days between work travel and conferences, but we managed to have a little fun too. I started the month sharing some […]
Hi, friends! How is it the end of another week? The past couple of weeks have been a little rough because both the Mr. and myself have been traveling for work. Last week I was gone for a work conference and now this week so is he. I’m not upset, don’t get me wrong…I mean, […]
TGIF! What a great week! I realized that I completely neglected to do a weekly Instagram recap last week. But we had a really busy fun-filled weekend and I was working on a mini photo shoot for yesterday’s Longchamp post. I was a little nervous about being in front of the camera so much, but my […]
Happy Friday, everyone! I hope the week was good to you. I realized that just because I post something to Instagram does not necessarily mean that everyone sees it. Personally, I love Instagram. As an amateur photographer and someone who enjoys gawking at pictures of food and clothes all day, I find it to be incredibly […]
It can be so hard to focus on the work week ahead when you’ve just had a great weekend with wonderful friends. I’m trying to pretend it’s not in fact Sunday afternoon, but as I sit here reminiscing about the past couple of days and writing this post, the cool central Texas breeze is flowing […]
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 […]
We recently received the Anova Precision Cooker from a fellow friend and home chef. As someone who loves to read cookbooks, food blogs, and take tons of food pics with my phone, I’m not the first person to pick up a spoon and start getting creative in the kitchen, but I’m trying. My husband on the […]
Despite a few clouds and the threat of a little rain, attending Tacos and Talk at Culinaria, San Antonio was a fun way for two foodies to spend a Saturday. This was our first time and we will definitely be back. The gorgeous La Cantera Resort & Spa was the perfect location to experience freshly prepared […]
