It’s been a week since we “moved out” of our Florence apartment and we still miss it so much. Maybe because it’s the longest we ever rented one HomeAway vacation rental, but it really started to feel like home!

Can you believe I am writing about our Italy trip now and not 8-10 months from now? I promised myself I would write and share photos along the way because a month long trip would have way too many details to remember if I don’t write them down. I’ll share some memories and photos along the way with some info… Read More

This past summer, we visited the most beautiful place we have ever seen with the kids: Anguilla. We had been wanting to take them to an island where they could snorkel and enjoy hours on the sand and a place that my husband and I could relax. We decided on Four Seasons Anguilla. The island is stunning, the people… Read More
