Sometimes we know exactly where we’re going for our holidays — and other times, we have absolutely no clue. This past summer, we only knew one thing: we’d be spending it somewhere in France. That decision was made the moment Imagine Dragons announced their EU tour. They’re Z’s favorite band, and after I took him…
When I started planning our summer holiday, I debated where to go. Should we go somewhere in France, or maybe Mainland Spain since we have only been to Mallorca? Should we go to the Canary Islands or a Greek Island? As a travel advisor, I noticed a lot of interest in Italy. For me, Italy…
There is something peaceful and healing about being in Nature; You can learn a lot about yourself while hiking in the mountains or on a quiet stroll on the beach. You can find resolutions to questions, find a patience you thought was lost, or let go of something you have carried for a long time….

As this summer season slowly fades into fall, I can’t help but reflect on the summer that was unlike any other. We started the summer with Rob going on a 3-month sabbatical from work. If I am being honest, I had mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, there were so many things he…
When I was little I didn’t dream of marriage, family, and the perfect house on the perfect street. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that dream it just wasn’t mine. I would watch movies, read books, and dream about the city, state, country, or any faraway land I read about. I wanted to…
