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.

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…
Dating Dallas: The Dallas Arboretum
When we lived in East Dallas there were certain places we’d go to over and over and get really familiar with. One of our favorite places was the Dallas Arboretum. While we no longer live within walking distance to get there, we still love going to the Arboretum and strolling around the beautiful grounds—especially during…
