Hiiiii friends! Back in October I went on an amazing trip to Iceland and I’ve finally had the opportunity to round up all the details on our journey. I will start by saying that Iceland is the most beautiful country I have seen and this was my favorite trip to date! This was a girls trip with my two stepdaughters (they’re 24 and 27), and one of my dearest friends. Traveling with the girls to such a beautiful place was…

Israel Trip Recap
Read moreWhere do I even begin!? If you follow me on social media, then you saw that I went to Israel last fall. The opportunity to go on this trip came up about two months beforehand, so it was a bit spontaneous! A friend was planning to travel there for her son’s wedding, who lives in Israel, so she decided to make it a girls’ trip and I was lucky enough to tag along. Words cannot even describe my experience in…

Anniversary Trip Recap
Read moreRichard and I celebrated our 15-year wedding anniversary two weeks ago…15 years!!! It blows my mind when I think about how fast time flies. Instead of buying each other gifts, we typically take a trip to celebrate – travel and experiences are the best gift! As much as I wanted to go on an island vacation, neither of us are quite ready to travel out of the country, so we decided to take a little road trip to Charleston! We’ve…

Asheville Trip Recap
Read moreRichard & I celebrated our 14-year wedding anniversary last week. I am still trying to figure out how in the world FOURTEEN years went by so fast!? Instead of giving each other gifts, our anniversary tradition has always been taking a trip to celebrate. Some years that has been a simple weekend away at the beach, and some years it has included dreamy tropical vacations. Regardless of where we end up going, the time spent together, away from the normal…

Europe Trip Recap Part 1: Paris
Read moreThis post is LONG overdue! If you follow along on social media, then you know I visited Paris & London in early November – my very first time in Europe! I decided to split the trip recap into two different posts because I have a ton of photos, plus each city was so incredible that I felt they were deserving of their own separate posts! The trip was basically a spur-of-the-moment idea that was planned in literally one month by…

Bahamas Trip Recap + Hurricane Relief and How You Can Help
Read moreLast month, Richard & I visited the Abaco islands in the Bahamas to celebrate our 13-year wedding anniversary. I initially planned on writing a travel guide and giving you recommendations on where to stay, eat, play, etc. based on our experiences there, but as you all know, the Abaco islands were hit by Hurricane Dorian two weeks after our trip. The damage done by this storm has been absolutely devastating, leaving the Abacos in utter ruins. If you have watched…

The Friday Five: Travel Edition
Read moreHappy Friday! I hope you all have had a great week! I spent the first half of this week in Chicago for a work conference. It was a relatively quick trip (I flew in Monday morning and came home Wednesday night) and we had a packed agenda, but we were able to squeeze in a few sights while there! From what I saw of Chicago, it was a beautiful city! I definitely want to go back for a pleasure trip…
