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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
After a quick trip to Vegas followed by an intense work travel schedule, it was time for us to reset the batteries and enjoy some time at home. To me there is nothing better than a fun home cooked meal with good wine and great company. Usually it’s my husband who cooks up a masterpiece but […]
