giving in

Friday, April 29th, 2011

Mike’s birthday was this week. To celebrate, we tossed around ideas that included crafting a semi-elaborate birthday dinner, which would have had to have been purchased, cooked and eaten in the few short hours we have between work and sleep.

From zip lining and exploring the depths of a Cenote to snorkeling in Costa Rica, there’s no doubt that I love adventure – even when I can’t get on a plane to find it. Knowing that’s one of the things you, my dear readers, and I have in common, I was thrilled to find an […]

why you like to travel

Friday, April 8th, 2011

when you stray from the norm, you open yourself up to discovering new things

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

Mike and I decided to give up meat for Lent. For a meat and potatoes kind of gal, you’d think this would be difficult, but in reality, it hasn’t been too bad. Mike and I don’t have time to cook elaborate meals on weekdays so we tend to keep it simple anyways. The real trouble […]
