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 […]
TGIF! This has been a pretty long week. I was at a conference most of the week for work and didn’t get in until late last night. Today has been a day of responding to emails and consuming as much coffee as possible. I am so ready for the weekend. The Mr. is flying home […]
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. […]
Sooooo…that was the longest break from blogging in the history of blogging. Ok, maybe not, but still. I did not intend on taking such a long hiatus. 2016 turned out to be the busiest time of our lives. The Mr. and I both wrapped up another hugely hectic year in our respective careers and somehow managed to […]
There are so many things we have to do when preparing to take a trip – planning outfits, packing efficiently, arranging pet care…the list goes on and on. I try not to let it overwhelm me because I know that all the planning just means a more pleasurable and relaxing experience while we’re gone. Among […]
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 […]
Knock, knock…it’s the weekend! I like to refer to Thursday as “Friday Eve,” which seems to usher in the weekend just a little more quickly. In this house, we live for the weekend. It’s our time to recharge and reconnect. I hope you have something fun planned! Here are some of my favorite reads from […]
It’s officially spring break here and possibly my favorite time of year. The trees are starting to come back slowly and the weather is warming up. Business is slow this week which has allowed me some time to catch up on the many house projects, hobbies, and books that otherwise are piled all around. I […]
They say the best way to start something is to just begin. Throw out the excuses and just do it. There seem to be many reasons why I’ve put off starting this blog – time, uncertainty, confidence, time…did I say time? It really is about time. Yes, it’s about time I started doing something that […]
