As soon as I walked into Trader Joe’s and spotted these pretty pink tulips I did a happy dance. The structured aesthetic design to tulips have always made them one of my favorite flowers and the varying shades of pink put these flowers over the top for me.… Read more
You know there are just some days that call for a break. A day where you miss Paris so much and want to be transplanted back to your favorite garden sitting on your favorite bench watching the Parisian world around you.… Read more
Settling into our first home has taken a lot longer than I expected. I honestly thought I would have the whole house unpacked, organized, AND decorated within one week. I think I set my own bar too high because that has definitely not happened!… Read more
Bastille in Paris is one of the most fun days to celebrate in this magical city and everyone participates; from the tourists to the locals who all clamor around the Eiffel Tower and on to the firefighters who take this holiday seriously {the fire department near our apartment had a THREE NIGHT party for the Firemen’s Ball!}.… Read more
Yesterday was a full-on Sunday Funday with brunch at a new location (every location is still new to me!) in Delray Beach. I met up with an old friend and a new friend (? early days so it’s past acquaintance but seems too soon to say friend…?) at Max’s Harvest, a “farm to fork restaurant” that combines fresh ingredients with fun elements, including a champagne bar that had everything from fruit to cotton candy and jolly ranchers to mix in your glass, along with a Bloody Mary bar.… Read more

With the vast amount of road trips we have taken over the last year I’ve gotten my road trip requirements down pretty well. I’ve also made my mistakes along the way – eating sugary foods when you are trapped in a car for multiple hours is BAD idea.… Read more
I was so excited to be back at our home sweet chateau last night that I couldn’t wait to share this moment I snapped at our favorite beach in Delray (my IG followers saw this a bit early – sorry!). But it is just so good to be near the beach again.… Read more
After our family dog passed away I never let myself love another dog…until this sweet little Boston Terrier came into my life. My mother-in-law rescued her several years ago and while I’ve liked lots of dogs, I’ve never let myself love one fully.… Read more
