Blogging has motivated me to do so many things. I’ve taken trips, started hobbies, and made new friends along the way. I’ve been very lucky to have the means to push myself to experience new and exciting horizons. One thing that I try…
Can we all agree that men are really difficult to buy gifts for? Men’s gifts tend to lean on the expensive side and can also feel more like necessities. For years I showered Tyler with a variety of “fun” gifts. After our move this…
Holiday shopping sure is polarizing. Some people love to be out and about finding things for the ones they love, while others want to avoid crowds and venturing out into the snow. Regardless of what side you fall into, I think we can all…
The women in my life fly off my shopping list like the speed of sound when it comes time to holiday shop. The men are usually left over, leaving me scrambling to figure out what they’d like to see under the tree. With men,…
There’s something so satisfying about giving gifts with a theme. Each item makes the thought come full circle and spices up any ordinary gift. Get your man these presents alone or scoop up all the bells and whistles! Here are a few ideas. Record Player…
One of the things I love most about Tyler is that he’s easy to please. He’s not a complainer, he’s happy in any situation you drop him into, and his positivity meter is off the charts. Because he’s so low maintenance, it’s really hard…

My husband Tyler is one of the most selfless, kind, and compassionate people I know. He’s a doting father to our son and my heart feels like it explodes just about every time I see them interact. Tyler has a birthday coming up in a…
Tyler and I just celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary and it jogged my memory back to all the little details from our wedding. One of our underlying themes was the movie Buffalo ’66 since I’m from Buffalo and it’s collectively a favorite of ours.…
As you may know, Tyler, Fox and myself recently completed a two-week driving trip throughout the UK. This was Fox’s first trip overseas, and was an experience that we’ll never forget. Tyler always talks about how lucky he feels to be able to spend…
Hi everybody! I’m following up from my recent post on my top 7 men’s Valentine’s gifts with my picks for the ladies. I’ve never been a pink kind of gal, but seeing as 2016 is the year of rose gold it’s fitting that’s what I’ve been drawn to…
Gift giving is my specialty, but when it comes to anniversaries and Valentine’s Day I admit that I have to demonstrate a lot more effort than usual. Any gift that’s given from the heart is special to my husband, but DIY usually winds up…
I have a confession to make: I’m not really a Star Wars fan. It’s not that I don’t want to be – I just never watched them except for the one with Natalie Portman on my 8th grade field trips bus in Washington, D.C.…
My first trip overseas was off the cuff. In the middle of wedding planning, Tyler and I decided hop across the pond for a short trip to London and Paris in the spring. After several whirlwind days in London, we hopped on the Eurostar…
Every time my birthday used to roll around I could practically hear Tyler groan, “Ughhhh, what am I going to get her?” From my perspective I’m easy to shop for. I like pretty much anything: a homemade gift, thoughtful card, food, clothes, knick-knacks –…
