We all have someone like this on our gift list. That hard to shop for person. The person whose tastes range widely and they already seem to have it all. What do you get for the hard to shop for when your brain says, “Just get them a gift card already!” but your heart thinks […]
A few weeks ago I did a little Instastory poll asking whether you all would be interested in a “day in the life” kind of blog post and the overwhelming majority said “Yes!” To be honest I was a little surprised. I guess I don’t consider my day-to-day life all that interesting. My travel life […]
Holiday commercials have been in full swing since before Halloween, so I think it’s safe to say we are officially “in it.” Yep, the holiday season is here! I love this time of year but I’m already starting to feel the pressure of getting it all done – the Christmas cards, the shopping, the wrapping, […]
Happy Wednesday, peeps! Instagram Roundup 10.10.18 features some of my favorite photos from the past month as well as Fall outfit inspiration. You can shop my Instagram posts at any time at https://cathedralsandcafes.com/shop-my-instagram/ September was one of the busiest months work-wise, so jetting off to Vegas last weekend was just what we needed. I’ll have more […]
Happy Thursday, peeps! I’m in such a good mood today because we are headed to Vegas tomorrow for yours truly’s birthday. Well, technically my birthday is next week but who’s counting? We have been traveling to Vegas pretty much every year to celebrate and I can’t wait to get out of town and relax for […]
Hey party people, or people like me who party until 9pm – ha! A couple weeks ago I posted on Instagram stories about DrinkAde, a product that was sent to me to try and review for you. The team over at DrinkAde reached out to me to try their Prevention supplement and I was a […]
Have you ever punched a grape before? It’s ok…they like it! Grape Punch is the process of “punching down” or pushing down the solid matter (grape skins, stems, pulp, etc.) that rises to the top in the fermentation vessel. In red wine making, it’s especially important to punch the grapes down to achieve more color […]

A roundup of outfits on Instagram from Cathedrals & Cafés!
For most of my life I was pretty comfortable with not really knowing my ancestral origins. I sort of knew my family’s background from knowing my mother’s side of the family tree. I knew there were strong English roots on that side. But the other half of my DNA has always been a mystery. Without […]
Happy FriYAY, everyone! This week’s favorites are all about easy living. The simple pleasures in life that I feel like I can truly enjoy during the summer months. The rest of the year is just plain crazy! Now that I’m back from Santa Fe, I am in full Europe trip planning mode. Our lodging and […]
If you’re not lucky enough to be Italian, you can always marry one like I did. 😉 My husband and I love bookending a beautiful summer meal with aperitivo and digestivo. Aperitivo is like Italy’s version of happy hour and begins with a bubbly drink to prep your palette before the meal. Digestivo is exactly […]
Another Friday is upon us and it’s a special one! I love Memorial Day weekend. I love putting American flags around the front of our home and honoring those who gave their life so that we may enjoy the freedoms we have. I love that we get one extra day of rest this weekend to […]
Embarking on a new fitness journey takes guts. Literally. But your gut will thank you if you do it right. After much debate and research, my husband and I finally decided on Peloton. I recently published a post on how to create an easy guest bedroom spin station and today I’m sharing a full review […]
This week’s favorites are a round up of all things summer. I think it has definitely arrived here in Texas, and it’s one of my favorite times of the year. Every day seems to have somewhat of a Friday feel to it. Even though my mind is ready for summer, but my body isn’t quite […]
With the recent addition of our Peloton, I needed to find a way to corral all of our spin accessories. You don’t need a dedicated room to create a spin station. Even the smallest spaces will work, if you find the right storage solutions. I had mats and stretching bands in one room of the […]
After spending a full weekend at Churchill Downs, I had to split the experience into two posts. Be sure to read my Kentucky Derby Experience: Part 1, which detailed our day at the track culminating in The Kentucky Oaks race. Today’s post is all about the main event – Derby Day! As most great days […]
And they’re off! That’s what I was thinking as we boarding a plane on our way to Louisville for the 144th running of The Kentucky Derby. A little over a thousand miles and what felt like a thousand mint juleps later, I finally knew what it was like to behold those iconic twin spires and […]
When a friend of ours invited us to a supper club, we really had no idea what to expect. Do we need some kind of membership card? Is it held in some super secret location? What and when exactly is ‘supper’? And most importantly, will there be wine? The answers to these first-timer questions are […]
Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Have you shopped for mom yet? If you’re like me and the thought of another scented candle or flowers just doesn’t show enough appreciation, then this little list is for you. The older I’ve become the more I just want to spend time with my mom. Creating a […]
