The Marvelous Life of a Military Wife
This past Sunday the girls and I drove up to Hershey, Pennsylvania to pick up my dad - their Papaw - for a quick visit. The last time they had seen each other except for on video calls was last Christmas, so the 2 and a half hour drive was well worth it! Since I am [...]
No matter the weather, the season, or the time of day, floral prints are always an effortless way to make a big statement with your outfit. I like floral print dresses especially because they are so comfortable, ultra-feminine and an entire outfit in one piece. This past weekend I took an old floral print Lucky [...]
October is finally here and that means that glorious, crisp fall weather we all love can catch up with the calendar...any minute now...still waiting. We did have a few teaser days where it was cold - hovering right around 70 degrees - rainy and cloudy and I loved it! I was ready too! I had all the [...]

Following a busy but also strangely relaxing day in Edinburgh, we woke up bright an early and caught a cab bound for the center of Old Town. Our adventure today took us way outside of our temporary home city and all across the breathtaking Scottish highlands. Since we only had three full days in Scotland but [...]
Scotland is beautiful and so rich with history that it could take weeks to really see everything you want. We had 3 days. With a few solid plans on the books, we made Edinburgh our base and left plenty of time to wander. First off and most importantly, don't overbook your trip! When I planned this [...]
On Thursday, our last full day in beautiful London, we did as any good Anglophile would do and tried our first Afternoon Tea. After months of searching for the perfect venue, I decided on Hotel Cafe Royal and I am so glad I did! Because you don't just pick any ol' place to cross an item off [...]
