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 […]
Whether you’re heading to the Kentucky Derby or just attending a Derby party, tradition requires a fun hat of gigantic proportions and a cute dress. Even the official website has head-to-toe tips for men and women to look their best on Derby day. I’m pretty excited to wear some new heels and my giant sunhat. But really I’m […]
Hello and happy Monday! I hope the weekend was good to you. Mine was really fun. Mostly I’m just glad to have my other half back in town from a work trip. All is right in the world again. Well, get ready for Kentucky Derby posts this week! Today’s post is all about a sweet […]
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, […]
Mother’s Day always sneaks up on me. I see things throughout the year and think, my mom would love that! And then life goes on and schedules get crazy and before I know it, I’m scrambling to find something thoughtful at the last minute. I’m not alone, right? Several years ago my mom gave me a […]
I’m BACK!! 🙂 I was preoccupied with responsibilities for my regular 9-5 gig from sun up to sun down last week, so I do apologize for making a rather sudden exit. And after returning from said responsibilities on Saturday I just needed some “me time” with my husband and our little fluff butt. I thought […]
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 […]
Setting goals has to be one of the hardest things to do. It always reminds me of setting a New Year’s resolution. I’m petrified of not achieving them and I put tremendous pressure on myself. Analysis of my goals is a constant in my professional life. Now that I’m also juggling, and really enjoying my […]
Why hello, April, is that you already? This year seems to be the fastest one yet. Each new month brings thoughts of what I accomplished the previous month, things I managed to do (or maybe not do), and I start thinking about the month ahead. I mentioned on Instagram that I’m working on some goal […]
I read a short article over the weekend called 5 Signs You’re a Tourist, Not a Traveler and it got me thinking about the evolution of our travel habits. When my husband and I first started traveling internationally, we were total newbies at the entire experience. We had been all over the United States but when you go […]
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 […]
I want to take a little side step from my usual posts about travel and outfits and yummy food, to write about something that has been in the forefront of my mind for awhile now, and that’s being grateful and finding happiness. Not just the act of being happy and grateful, but actually how we achieve […]
TGIF! Doesn’t that rosé look fantastic? It’s like koolaid for grown ups. Friday is my favorite day of the week. The Mr. has been traveling most of the week for work and we are just glad to be home with a whole weekend in front of us. Here’s a recap of my week: + How […]
Before I get into this post, I want to first say thank you to everyone who has read, favorited, liked, and shared my blog. This is still a fun new endeavor for me, and I just so appreciate all the positive feedback! I mentioned in this post that I would be sharing a little about […]
Is it just me, or is this week flying by? I can’t believe tomorrow is already Friday and it’ll be a week since we tried Signature, a new restaurant in San Antonio. We had a little Valentine’s celebration at home but also made reservations with some friends for a fun night out. I already know that […]
So, you’re just a day or so away from embarking on your dream trip and now you actually have to pack. Nothing sucks the fun out of traveling like packing. At least, that’s how I’ve always felt. But packing is a lot like perfecting a talent – practice makes perfect. Over the years I’ve learned […]
Hello and Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a restful weekend. Our was packed with activity but it was so nice to get out of the house and enjoy the beautiful un-wintery weather we’ve been having. We tried a couple of new restaurants that I’ll be detailing in a future post and managed to squeeze […]
TGIF! This has been a very busy week for us so I’m looking forward to some fun things this weekend. Tonight we are headed out on a semi-belated Valentine’s dinner with friends at a new restaurant in town. I’ll be posting a review soon, but might squeeze in an Instagram story tonight @cathedralscafes. Tomorrow night is the […]
Well, we made it to Thursday! Or as I like to refer to it – Friday Eve! Dresses up Thursday a little more, doesn’t it? As happy hours commence around the globe, I wanted to share a recent experience I had involving the classic cocktail, Gin and Tonic. Mind you, I have never been a […]
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, […]
