ONE FAMILY. SOME FOOD. ALL THE LOVE.
Part I It was the trip of a lifetime. A place I always fantasized about traveling too, and feel so fortunate to have actually done it. We traveled through Japan – and this post is the the summer in Kyoto edition. In total, we had three main stops – Kyoto (Old Japan), Tokyo (Modern Japan) …
Holy Moly! It was May of a different year, when we pulled Ethiopia and I started this post. But every May is about the same, and this gist is still relevant. All the school things, all the sports things, all the club things and all the end of year celebrations. Gifts to buy, camps to …
It’s Spring Break time – Colorado is making their mass exodus for warmth. All the while there are incoming Floridians trying to get some last minute Spring skiing in. We’re guilty too. There have been several trips back to the beach for Spring Break. (Sanibel Island, FL, Destin, FL) After winters, we thrive on seeing …
Last year, we were in Tybee Island/Savannah, Georgia – one of the biggest St. Paddy’s Day celebrations in the country – and I didn’t even have a green shirt to wear. In walking the dog, Chris has pointed out every single house that has decorated for the holiday. I have approximately zero things to decorate …
We’re about six years into our adventure out west. I think I’ve made it abundantly clear how much we like skiing and playing in the fun winter weather. Chris and I had never really experienced it growing up Florida style. The boys have grown up with it and can’t imagine not having it. We’ve been …
Summer Vacation, Part II Yes, my last post was about traveling to Belize for a week. What trailed was another week of travelling to round out the end of summer vacation. There were some new schools and new jobs, and now I’m finally documenting it. We left Belize, heading to Raleigh/Rocky Mount, North Carolina. My …
We literally just had the most amazing few weeks. It was well needed after a little bit of a tough start to summer. We traveled to Hopkins Village, Belize and had the opportunity to discover a little town full of culture and authenticity. It is a country filled with so much natural, untouched beauty and …
Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner! Jake loves hummus. Jake loves making hummus. He loves to double his batch to have it all week long. I should do a post of his recipe. And now, Sudan’s Ful Medames might just be hummus’s cousin we never knew about. I find it funny that in the whole wide world …
The grass is turning mostly green and the flowers are starting to sprout from the earth again. It is such a reprieve to see some life coming back to the outside world, and I love the idea of planning out the yearly garden. Normally, we plan a trip back to Florida for Spring Break because …
Summer vacation is quickly approaching, and the world is on fire to pack their bags and travel. Myself way included. When Chris and I first got married, we promised ourselves an international vacation at least every other year. And very quickly, the reality of adulting caught up with us and the rose colored glasses we …
