The Best Camera for Traveling
One of my big goals lately has been to start doing videos for the blog. I already have an awesome DSLR camera for photography, but knew I needed something different for video. As I was looking for my new camera, I spent a LOT of time researching and comparing various features. I had a few must-haves—with all the…
What to Pack for Spring Break
Spring is hands down my favorite season of the year. The flowers are blooming, the weather is getting warmer and – spring break! While I no longer have a dedicated week off from school to take a trip, Scott and I always make sure to do something around that time to keep the tradition alive….
Our Trip to Magnolia Market in Waco, Tx
Last weekend Scott and I took a spontaneous road trip to Waco, Texas to see where Chip and Joanna Gaines from HGTV’s Fixer Upper transformed the Silos into the new Magnolia Market shop! Waco is a two hour drive from where we live, and believe it or not we’d never been to Magnolia! If you’re…
I Hung out with Joe Biden in Rome!
Ciao belle! Rome is a city that had been at the top of my bucket list of as long as I can remember. As a kid—and today!—I devoured book after book about the Roman empire, and had dreamed of going there to see the sights in person for years. Spoiler alert—it was everything I thought it would…

Tuscany, Italy Travel Guide + Video
Wondering what Tuscany, Italy is like? I’ll tell you. It’s everything you dream it would be except about a million times better. I thought Tuscany would be quaint and charming, but I had no idea that I would be falling head-over-heels in love with the region—and one little city in particular. Come feast your eyes…
Florence, Italy Travel Guide + a Video!
I’m so excited for today’s post! Scott and I were lucky enough take a wonderful trip to Europe and see some new cities. I fell head-over-heals hard in love with Italy—the warm, boisterous culture, the wine, the gelato (all the food really!), the architecture and the people. I’m not kidding you when I say I…
What I Wore in Europe
Remember when I went on a ten day European adventure back in November? I was determined not to be bogged down by luggage and made a pact with Scott that I wouldn’t take more than one single carry on. TOTAL. Keep in mind that I took two suitcases and a carry on our last trip…
How to Pack for 10 Days in Europe in a Carry On
Last year when we spent 10 days in Paris and London, Scott and I took two suitcases and a carry on EACH. My cousin asked if I was moving in when he saw us (hah!). Not only were they a pain in the butt to wheel around, I found I really didn’t use a lot…
