We’re always looking for great ways to show our appreciation on Father’s Day and this year, I think we surpassed ourselves. We found a getaway spot that offers tons of outdoor activities or if you so choose, doing nothing but relaxing on the water in Adirondack chairs. At the Weekapaug Inn in Rhode Island, you’ll find yourself in a rustic, comfortable setting complete with all…

My husband and I were so happy to attend our nephew’s graduation in Washington, DC last week. He earned his Master’s degree from John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) with a specialty in International Economics and Strategy, which makes me so impressed just to put in writing. He has been such a great kid all of his life, so this is just another…

Disclosure: I was given this product in return for my review. However, all opinions expressed are my own. I’ve had a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS40 for several years now and love it. Not only is it easy to use and takes amazing pictures, but it has tons of great features like integrated wi-fi connectivity, so I can immediately download my pics to my phone. This feature means…

If you love to travel as much as I do, you’re gone as often as you get the chance. I wasn’t always this lucky, however, and didn’t get to travel much until my 30’s. I was recently talking with a friend and she asked where I’ve been off to lately. I listed my recent trips, California, Hawaii, Florida, sailing in the British Virgin Islands, all…

When I lived in London for several years, I actually sort of commuted. While my husband lived there full time, I would come and go every 10 days to two weeks. We also did a lot of traveling around the world during this time. Not only did I rack up the frequent flyer miles and get to know a lot of flight attendants personally on…

There are vacations and then there are VACATIONS!! I certainly hope you’ve experienced the difference in your travels. My husband and I recently went on a 9-day sailing adventure around the British Virgin Isles with another couple and can’t stop thinking AND talking about it, we had such a fantastic time. And that’s what spawned the idea for this post. YOU KNOW IT WAS…

We recently spent 9 days traveling with another couple, 7 of which were spent on a sailboat. It could have been a disaster or pure bliss. It’s hard to know going in which it will be. You could be the best of friends for many years and then be constantly at each other’s throats on vacation together. It only takes one bad comment, adverse event,…

He’s off on a 3 1/2 hour bike ride and I’m at home getting mold off the patio furniture and packing up “clutter”. What’s wrong with this picture? We’re moving in about a week to our new home, but I’m not quite sure why I’m saying “we”, when I’m actually doing all the work. I decluttered to stage our current home to put on…

I love to spend time in northern California and the Marin County area is a favorite. My husband and I recently got a chance to spend some time visiting friends in Napa and decided to tack on a few days on our own. So, I started to do my research and uncovered a true gem just over the Golden Gate Bridge called Cavallo Point. The…

I’ve noticed a distinct change in my marriage lately and I’m not sure if it’s bad or normal. I didn’t include good here, because I’m not thinking that’s an option. My marriage is experiencing more periods of silence. Oh, we’ve always had moments of silence. Some just the normal course of 2 people living together; some the result of being together 20+ years; and some due…

My husband and I recently had to make one of the most difficult decisions of our lives – deciding when the time was right to end our dog’s suffering. I hate every verb and phrase for what to call this. All of the terms are terrible – euthanasia is so clinical and putting down is just crass. My husband finally chose to tell the vet…

Planning dinner or brunch sometimes lacks the planning for me…. I just look in the refrigerator and start pulling things out. Most of the time I know it will involve eggs. A Frittata is a great choice, given it is quick, easy, always tasty, and a crowd pleaser. For this recipe, I went for a veggie Frittata, but it is easy enough to change up…
