^^ Denver B-Day Crew There's something to be said about coming in last place and being able to rejoice about said "accomplishment" afterward. Such was the case for my girl, Anna's 30th birthday trip this past April. A weekend celebration in Denver, Colorado that I immediately booked my flight ...
4 Years of Marriage & 11 Years of Togetherness
Tomorrow, Charles and I will celebrate 4 years of marriage and 11 years of togetherness. And, truth be told, this past year and a half of marriage/togetherness has been one of our toughest ones yet. Summed up... Charles and I have been partners for over 10 years now and, I think that over ...

Strawberry Picking Season + A Simple Berry Crumble Recipe
The end of May marks the beginning of strawberry season. As such, I thought it would be fun for Giney and I to go strawberry picking last weekend. Strawberries grow low to the ground, underneath the shade of foliage which means you gotta really crouch down and look for the ripe ones. And obviously, ...
Memorial Day Weekend Recap
An ode to the weekend recaps that used to be the norm of the blogworld. My three day holiday weekend looked a little something like this... Friday - I picked up Giney from my Dad's after work and kicked off our sister sleepover with dinner at Metro 29. Well, more like brinner considering we ...
Self Portrait Sunday :: The Beach In Me
For the beach in me loves the beach in you. From my sandy toes to the ocean blue. If I could make a choice, I'd repeat it again. The choice to love myself and become my own best friend. The sound of waves ashore, make me whole once more. As sunrays cast a glance on my sweat-filled ...

Gator Park, Miami
Our third day in Miami, we left the city and headed to the wetlands for an experience that had been on my bucket list since I was a kid... We were going on airboat tour through the Everglades at Gator Park! Located about 45 minutes outside of the Miami City limits (but technically still located ...
Little Happenings :: April

Cherry Blossom Season in DC
A few photos from peak Cherry Blossom season in DC in which Charles and I came (that sounds kind of naughty), saw and decided to never come back again. At least never come back again on a Friday at 5:30pm. ^^ My love. <3 I have never seen the Tidal Basin in DC as packed as it was on this day. ...
31 Things For My 31st Birthday
Today, your girl turns 31. And I've been sitting in front of my laptop for the past 15 minutes, twiddling my fingers because I'm not sure where to begin with writing today's post. The past 365 days, journeying from 30 to 31 years of life, have been filled with many highs, just as many lows and so ...
Wynwood Walls At Night, Miami
When considering where to stay in Miami, Charles and I originally thought to stay in South Beach (SoBe) so we could be close to the action. But then, after doing a bit of research and being honest with ourselves about the fact that we really don't care about being "in the scene", we decided to stay ...
