a travel and style blog
Normally packing for a three-day weekend is a breeze, but when you’re from Florida and the temperature at your destination is barely expected to rise above freezing, it can be a challenge. Neither Michael nor I have a well-established winter wardrobe (you don’t really need one where we live!), and I still feel like we’re …
Whether you’re celebrating something today or not, no matter where you are in the world, I wish you all the best. Nothing—not gifts, trips, or “stuff”—is more important than spending time with those you love. Take time today to celebrate life with those around you; I’ll leave you with a look at December in our …
Last weekend Michael and I celebrated Christmas early by flying north for three days to Providence, Rhode Island. It felt like fate—the airfare was in our price range, the flight times worked with our schedule, hotel prices were reasonable, and there was a little snow in the forecast (despite my family’s insistence that you always …
I mentioned in Monday’s post that Michael and I took a trip to New York City last year in lieu of our typical gift exchange. It wasn’t that we grew tired of finding special gifts for the other person; we both love it when we find that perfect item we think the other will enjoy. …

Everything they say is true—it’s busy and crowded but the prices are much lower. The staff …
My favorite recipe for fresh, chewy, New York-style bagels (yes, you can make them in your own kitchen!)
Let’s visit Cedar Key for the day, and explore the island’s history and culture (and cuisine!).
The holiday season is here in full force. Stores are currently taking over our mailboxes and email-boxes trying to convince us that we need everything and if we don’t get it right now it may not be available any longer and the world will end. To avoid this intentionally created stress, I’ve unsubscribed myself from …
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to any readers here in the US (or anywhere in the world, wherever you’re celebrating!). And even if you don’t celebrate this holiday, I’m still grateful for you! I’ve enjoyed this blogging journey so far, and can’t wait to see where we go next. But for now, with the holidays …
