In mid-October, Jordan and I traveled to Washington D.C. It’s forever been on our list of places we both wanted to visit, and with it being an election year (albeit a contentious one) and the end of tourist season, I was even more interested in seeing the sights and learning more about the historical buildings, memorials, […] Read more…
Since we’re (over) halfway through the year, it’s an ideal time to check in and see how 2016 is going. When I looked back on these goals before writing an update, I couldn’t believe how open and honest I was. While I’m still cringing a little at the thought of sharing so much personal information about […] Read more…
Even though the hot and humid weather is already in full swing around here (thanks Nebraska for the early season 100+ degree temps…ugh), the first day of summer just “officially” arrived earlier this week. Similar to my fall bucket list last year, I thought I’d compile a list of fun summer activities I’d like to do. I’m […] Read more…
I’m finally getting around to sharing the details of our travels in late April to Las Vegas where we went for work and pleasure. Well, Jordan for work, and me for pleasure. 😉 A bunch of wives tagged along with their husbands for the same reason, and we were able to hang out, eat, and relax while they […] Read more…
The food options in Oahu were a bit different than what we found in Maui. Waikiki is packed with lots of chain restaurants, so you have to go a little off the beaten path to find places that are unique to the island. But we were successful and had a lot of tasty meals to round out […] Read more…
Oahu. Otherwise known as Hawaii’s major tourist spot. When we decided we were going to Hawaii, we wanted to experience the culture of more than one island. Oahu seemed like the obvious choice since 1) the state’s capital (Honolulu) is located there and 2) the major beach of Waikiki is a popular vacation destination with tons […] Read more…
I’m away on a Vegas vacation this weekend and hope to share some shenanigans in the coming weeks from our trip. But for now, I have a few Friday faves to share. I love talking about some of the things I’ve been reading, eating, and enjoying during the week. I like hearing about what’s going on […] Read more…
Everything we had in Maui was so delicious (and amen for someone else cooking and cleaning up afterwards), and I can’t help but think it would be so nice to be surrounded by fresh island fruit, out-of-this-world Kona coffee, homegrown root vegetables, and rum punch all the time. 😉 I apologize in advance for the lack of […] Read more…
Hawaii is really everything people describe it to be – relaxing, breathtaking, charming, calming, beautiful, and magical. Jordan and I took a week-long vacation to Maui and Oahu smack dab in the middle of a Midwest winter. To say the weather there was perfect would be an understatement. Low 80s during the day and low […] Read more…
Well, it’s evident from my lack of posting that I have some goals to set in the new year. 🙂 This web site is one of my top priorities for 2016. I just need to get over the hump of “putting myself out there” for all the internet to see. NBD, right? I hope by […] Read more…
