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 […]
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, […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
