It’s finally here – SPRING! March 20th might mark the official start of the season, but it’s not until the first local vegetables drop that the humdrum of winter is erased. It may have only been 30 degrees and the coffee may have been used as equal parts energy booster and hand warmer, but yesterday …
Matt and I just returned home from our 2nd annual fishing trip in the Florida Keys. It has quickly become one of our most anticipated vacation spots. I’m not sure I’d survive the summer heat there, but March seems to bring the perfect weather. Flip flops, cool breezes, and sunny skies. Last year – our …

Doughnuts have long been one of my favorite food groups. When you come from a family with a grandpa who refers to them as a “well-rounded meal” the desire for sprinkles and icing is just sorta born into your DNA. Matt, on the other hand, would rather start his day with an ice-cold beer. He’s …

Savannah was never really on our radar although in hindsight, it should have been because this city is absolutely incredible. The food, the constant stream of live music, the easy to navigate streets, and the abundance of southern charm. Sometimes a destination chooses you, and Savannah called our names when we stumbled upon airfare so …

A couple of years ago I had my first taste of limoncello. I was instantly hooked. That stuff is what’s up. How I survived my first couple of decades without it in my life is beyond me. Now that we have found each other, it is here to stay. Whenever I go out to eat …

How do you convince your fiance who can barely sit in a car for 2 hours to travel all the way to Africa? You promise him wine. Lots of it. One of my major selling points for our trip to South Africa was that we would spend some time in the wine region, Stellenbosch. In …

Oh Cape Town, your beauty beckoned me from across the Atlantic. Your haute cuisine, your unparalleled scenic views, your laid-back, cool-to-the-core style. I was sooo looking forward to relaxing on your beaches. Matt and I decided after a few nights in a tented situation followed by a B&B in Zambia, we deserved to treat ourselves …

For many people, myself included, the idea of going on an African safari seems far-fetched. When I first brought the idea up to Matt he quickly dismissed me saying, “we can’t afford that!” The thing is, we can afford that, though it certainly required some sacrifice. I put in many hours at a second job …

There is just something about autumn that makes you want to get outdoors and into nature. The changing of the leaves, crisp fall air, and that beautiful golden light. For Matt and I, that means a lot of hiking. Ok, some hiking. Ok, ok, minimal hiking! At any rate, we had our hearts set on …
