This weekend was amazing. We traveled to Minnesota to watch two high school friends tie the knot. Including the bride and groom, we were one of three high school sweetheart turned married couples in attendance. There must have been something in the water at Benilde-St. Margaret’s. 😉 But more on that in my next post. […]

Book Review: Abundance, A Novel of Marie Antoinette by Sena Jeter Naslund
I can’t believe how long it has been since I did a book review – I’ve missed them! Although I’ve still been reading, it has been at a slower pace than I’m used to due to all that’s going on with the move and now, the house. Fortunately, our home inspection went really well this […]
An Honest Post {Giveaway}
Happy Thursday! Another week has practically flown by and this one has been busier than ever. But for good reason: we are now officially under contract on a beautiful home!

I was so excited to meet new people while trying out a delicious meal that I quickly said yes. The […]
Arizona Restaurant Week: True Food Kitchen
It seems only fitting that a food blogger would move to a new state just in time for restaurant week. I’ve had the chance to try two amazing restaurants with great deals and good company, once with family and once with a wonderful group of women and new friends. First up was a familiar favorite: […]
Chillin’ Like A Villain
Our first week as Arizona residents has proven to be quite an adventure. The desert wildlife has greeted us in some very unexpected ways. Namely: A desert “roof rat” decided that our soy-coated Volkswagen wires (don’t ask me why they coat them in soy) looked delicious enough to chew through overnight.
