all my bags are packed. i’m not really ready to go back to the snow but i am excited to go sleep in my own bed. and i honestly need to eat lettuce for the next 3o days so i can at least fit back into my leggings. i thought i would give a little […]

yesterday….i got to go to magnolia market. it was amazing. it was everything i expected it to be. it was beautiful and i have never been into a store where i walked in and felt like every piece gave me an insight on who that person was. yesterday at the conference we spent the morning […]

everything is bigger in texas right? i guess that explains my expanding waistline the first 24 hours i’ve been here. my coworker misty and i had a pretty seamless flight for once (knock on wood) and got into dallas around 3pm est and out on the road by 5pm. i used priceline to rent our […]

greetings from new mexico! i have had two days here packed full of conferences and a little bit of opportunity to see what is going on around this town. my co worker misty and i arrived here early afternoon on sunday and walked the town  of santa fe a little bit after we checked into […]

yesterday was our last day in the countryside of tuscany. we had breakfast at the B & B then packed up and headed into florence with our new friends. we found a place to park about half a mile from the actual city and enjoyed a rocky walk down to the city. we walked around […]

yesterday felt like a true vacation day. what do i mean by that… i’ve been gone for over a week right? it was a day where we sat back and just let things happen and let the day take us where it wanted us to go. yesterday we met the other couple staying at the […]

yesterday we made the big drive from gruyere switzerland to tuscany italy. it was about 7 hours of adventure let me tell you. we went through mountains, we drove by the seas, we had audis passing us  at ungodly speeds but we made it! the leaning tower of pisa was about an hour or so […]

I can’t believe it’s already time to move on from Switzerland. Although I will say i’m ready for a change of scenery. the swiss countryside (and french for that matter) have been stunning but i’m ready to get to a new country, a new cuisine and a new group of people. we spent our final […]

Yesterday we left montreux and headed back to geneva to pick up our rental car. after finally making it out of the city (that was really scary) we decided to take the path through france over to gruyere. i know it was like a major major back track but we wanted to see the french […]

we leave our little lovely hotel in montreux today and head to our next adventure in gruyere! i’m super nervous because we are renting a car and driving from montreux > geneva > gruyere > florence > chianti > rome (dropping car off at rome airport). say a little prayer for us if you think […]

have i said that switzerland is gorgeous yet? switzerland is absolutely gorgeous. it is one of those places where honestly there is not a lot going on so you just wander. we have learned that concierge people or maybe it’s just the lady at this hotel messes with you. everything she has sent us on has […]

so for the past few weeks joe and i have been narrowing down our very first euro trip (i say first because i don’t want it to be the only!) we are heading to switzerland for a conference in geneva for 5 days and then extending on to italy! for 5 days we will be […]
