Life Moments ++

Omg, is there anything better than room service??

Hiiiii!

What up, beauties?  Life has sure been an adventure recently, and I just wanted to share a few snaps. I've been going through some of my old posts... I miss blogging so much!

But sometimes I feel like so many things are happening all the time. By the time you are done processing those things, you're onto something else and all the rest is forgotten. No time to document or share. Not to mention doing all those things in between work and home life.

Sometimes I wonder... how did I do it all before? I used to plan and post at least 3x per week in between teaching students, playing shows, and making records. Did I just have more time? More organizational skillz? More motivation?

Anyway... just wanted to share a moment of honesty 😊 Hope all is well with you... click through to see some of my photos from the past couple of weeks!

Quick Guide to Bruges, Belgium

Ever heard of a little place called Bruges, Belgium? Simply put, it's a town that is like a medieval fairy tale come to life. There are SO many delicious foods and beautiful places all crammed into this little magical town.

My husband and I decided to add Belgium as one of our destinations for our recent vacation to Europe and I've been spamming Instagram with my pics ever since! Bruges was one of the stops on our little Euro-tour, and I was absolutely charmed.

Rhode Island Beach Day 2018

Wait a minute, could this be what I think it is? Could this be a... regular blog update?? Golly gee, I never would've guessed! 😉Anyway, I went to visit my family last week for the 4th of July, and we ended up going to the beach 🌊

Trip of a Lifetime | Your Easy Paris Travel Guide

I had such a great time writing this guide to travel in Paris. Mainly because I had a such wonderful time in Paris- and who wouldn't! There are countless amazing things to do.



For me, going to Paris was the trip of a lifetime. It was the first leg of our epic trip to Europe, with stops including Bruges and Copenhagen. I've spent countless hours dreaming about the cafes I would visit, the pastries I would eat, and the days I would spend aimlessly walking around those beautiful streets. Not to mention visiting cool monuments and dozens of museums that you could spend a literal lifetime exploring.

This city has got it all, and I feel so lucky that I got to visit this past spring!

However, Paris can be a little overwhelming to navigate for the first time. I wanted to put together a super basic guide for anyone looking to take a trip here and is not sure where to start.

Paris... ooh la la!!

Tiny Houses in Warwick, NY

You know, I've never felt like I've been great at getting those super perfect Instagram-y shots.  You know, the ones that are so cute, majestic or clever that people practically throw their likes at them.

New Hampshire & Vermont ++ Part 2

New Hampshire and VT Roadtrip!! ++ Part 1

This past few months, it's been sort of a whirlwind of Hipcamp trips.  I've been agonizing about what to write about my journey up north with my friend Alyson.

Hi!

Did everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend?  We just got back from a camping trip, which was pretty awesome... more details soon  :)   In the meantime, here are a few of my favorite snaps from the last couple of months.  ♥♥

Diner Days

Summer Memories ~

It has FINALLY started to get a little cooler outside (thank god!) and my enthusiasm for all the typical fall activities has been renewed.  In the past it's been like... yeah, apple picking is cool... but planning that stuff is a pain, especially in the city with no car.  If I get to it this year, bonus!  If not, oh well.  This time around, I'm all about it.  Bring on the PSL parade!!

Since I've been gradually working my way back to posting here, I never got the chance to share my memories and photos from this past summer, though.  It has been a happy one!  Our move back to the city was completely painless and our apartment is awesome.  We spent a lot of time getting our living space in order, adjusting to being back, and hanging with friends and family :)

Honeymoon Part 4 ~ Santa Barbara & LA

Time for Part 4 of my 4-part honeymoon series!!  Last year, my husband and I got married :)  Then we went on a roadtrip down California Highway 1.  Click for Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

Honeymoon Part 3 ~ Scenery & San Luis Obispo

Time for Part 3 of my 4-part honeymoon series!!  Last year, my husband and I got married :)  Then we went on a roadtrip down California Highway 1.  Click for Part 1 and Part 2.


So... we were on the third leg of our journey, coming from Monterey down to Santa Barbara.   Things are starting to seem more relaxed, and we start getting used to the feeling of changing hotels every couple of days.  I remember driving through mountains in the dark, listening to 60's surf music on Sirius Radio.  I remember checking into our hotel- the retro Agave Inn.  I remember cool air that night... it all felt like a movie.






The next day, I made plans for us to backtrack upstream to a resort in San Luis Obispo, where they had hot spring pools open to the public.  I'm kind of obsessed with saunas, spas, steam rooms, jacuzzis... basically all things hot and relaxing.  So this side trip was a must for me :)

The experience did not disappoint.  They were private hot tubs for two nestled in the woods.  You could rent them by the hour for two hours max.  To get to the pools you ascended a big outdoor flight of stairs, like you were climbing to a magic treehouse in the sky.






Sigh... so gorgeous.


And through it all, there was of course MAJOR BEAUTIFUL scenery.  My favorite part was during this drive from Monterey to Santa Barbara, because it's where more of these yellow flowers started to show up.  They contrasted gorgeously with the blue ocean.  I took too many pictures of everything...









Next up, we're exploring Santa Barbara and LA  :))

xoxo

Honeymoon Part 2 ~ Monterey & Big Sur

Next stop, Monterey!!  This was the time when we started making our way down to California Highway 1.  Which in case you haven't heard, has the reputation of being one of the most scenic drives known to man.  That drive was the main reason we wanted to do the trip, and boy did it live up to the hype.

Blue water.  Cliff drops.  Secret paths.  Scenery for days.

Honeymoon Part 1 ~ San Francisco

Maine // July

*Throwback alert*

Remember 4th of July last month?  Yeah well, I'm just getting around to posting about that :P  I have a seriously big backlog of photos that I'm hoping to share eventually.  Or at least catch up with myself, and start posting the ones I take on the regular.  At this point, it's just a personal project.

Either way, maybe you will enjoy re-living July 4th all over again in August?!
