But it’s not. A friend humorously made that statement when I shared the following photo four years ago. A crêpe, an Eiffel, and that moon. Looks altered to me, too. But it was blissfully real and certainly one of the best trips I’ve ever experienced. Bon Tuesday.
Blogtober #19: Geneva.
In 2004, I visited dear friends who lived in Pontarlier, France. Since Pontarlier is located close to the Swiss border, my friend Clara advised that I fly to Geneva, Switzerland, and she would pick me up from there. Yes, thoughts of Switzerland danced in my 24 year-old head. It was the most beautiful place I …
Blogtober #15: Abbey Road.
Five years ago today. In London, mid-autumn, travelista-ing, crossing the same road that one of my favorite musical groups walked on and named an album after. Yes, I squealed. Thanks to my beloved Daddy for introducing me to a love of traveling, of music, and of the Beatles. 💜
Blogtober #1: And Away We Go…
Blogging all 31 days of my favorite month. Can she do it? We've done it before, so hopefully, we shall do it again. (For past Blogtobers, shimmy over to the search feature and read up, if you like.) What Blogtober means for you, my dear reader: Photo by OVAN on Pexels.com Expect 31 days of …
Speaking of Photoshoots…
Facebook reminded me that this was my cover photo four years ago today. Some facts about this shot: 1. It was part of a professional photoshoot we did while on our amazing girls’ trip to Paris. 2. That trip was four years ago in February. 3. It was freezing cold. 4. I’m not exaggerating. 5. …
Positivity Post. (#1)
So...when it's hard to be positive (it's just in my bones, this struggle to remain positive about this weird life of mine, and this need to look at things as they unflinchingly are), sometimes you have to force the hand. In this case, although 2020 has so far been essentially 2019 squared, I want to …
Magnolia Marvel.
If you'll follow the link here, you'll see that visiting Chip and Joanna Gaines' Magnolia Market at the Silos was a definite destination goal of mine. Well, a million years later, a good friend and I made the nearly 2-hour trek to Waco, TX earlier this week. Needless to say, we had a fantastic time. …

You'll see a definite theme. (See current needs #11 needs here.) Somewhere in the Maldives. Pretty please, Positano. Oh, hi, Oregon. You get my drift. My last real, bonafide vacation was in February 2016, when my girls and I went to that lovely trip to Paris. (Plenty of photos of that trip; search "Paris" and …
Blogtober #12: Flashback Friday to Summer.
No, this post isn't necessarily about fall, although the last day of my trip occurred in September. But we're flashbacking today, so it's all good. Anywho, this past Labor Day weekend, I left on a jet plane to visit a good friend of mine who lives in Orange County, CA. Despite the fact that it …

Shall we? I want all of her clothes. Each. And. Every. One. Classy. Feminine. Elegant. Modern. Yes, Meghan. Yesssss Are y'all familiar with Chip and Joanna Gaines? I'm sure your mother has also gently forced you to watch back-to-back episodes of Fixer Upper on HGTV when she knows that you're positively allergic to anything having …
