Exploring Manhattan + Date Night

Restaurants

Happy holidays! Christmas crept up on me this year. Matt and I wanted to explore Manhattan a bit because everyone recommended checking out the Christmas markets and decor. We kind of blew it with timing though as we waited until the last Saturday before Christmas – rookie mistake. Emerson seemed nervous on the subway and held on to her stroller:) We made our way to Rockefeller center to see the tree, and quickly realized that the crowds were miserable, especially…

Weekend in Ojai

Travel

Hello! We had the privilege of attending a wedding in the beautiful Ojai, California this past weekend. We stayed at the Ojai Valley Inn and the resort was stunning! I think I was so focused on packing for this trip plus all the wedding festivities, that I wasn’t anticipating how gorgeous the surrounding area would be. Expectations exceeded. We arrived on Thursday afternoon, and there was a welcome party at a neat little picnic shop. Everything was outdoors and the…

Solid Food + Friends

Amazing Restaurants

Whidbey Island Getaway

Life Travel

You may have figured from Instagram that I was in Seattle over the weekend. You see, I’m turning 30 this week, so Matt took me on an adventure for fall break. We spent one night/day in the city eating our way through the incredible food scene (gluten free paradise!!!), and then we explored Whidbey Island. I’m in love with the beauty of the Pacific Northwest (I had never been…) We did some hiking and visited a few wineries, but we…

Bordeaux

Amazing Restaurants Travel

Bordeaux was hot! Everyone told us the 100 degree temps were rare, but the winemakers were thrilled about the hot weather. We arrived late in the afternoon, and quickly changed for dinner. We stayed in Le Boutique Hotel where we had a teeny tiny room and wonderful service. We knew we wouldn’t spend any time in the room, so we looked for something simple. There was an awesome natural store one block from the hotel where I was able to…

Istanbul!

Travel

Hello from home sweet home! We had a lovely journey to Turkey and I have so much to share. Our first stop was Istanbul, and we spent four nights at the Hotel Amira in the old town. I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel as the service was fantastic and the staff helped us navigate the overwhelming city. The breakfast was also wonderful and our room was nice. There was also a roof top deck, which was great for relaxing in…
