It’s my firm belief that summer should be spent reading the books you want to read. Not the textbooks or that one book that you’ve been putting off. No, whether it’s a new to you book or a book you’ve read so many times it’s falling apart, you should want to return to it on those long road trips and …

So we went to Iceland. The whole experience was the most amazing of my life so far. I’ve been out of the country before on a missions trip but this was so different. We were there as tourists so while our time wasn’t relaxing at all, we saw just about everything there was to see in the area we stayed. …

When we first decided to go to Iceland, I realized I had less than nothing in the way of winter wear. Plus I basically wear sweatpants from November to April which meant I didn’t even have cute winter clothes. What better reason than an overseas vacation in a cold place to buy some new duds that are winter appropriate right? Over …

Only five days until we leave for Iceland with Bekah and our friend Andrew! I couldn’t be more excited! It’s the first big trip Dearest Carl and I will have taken and Iceland promises to be a beautiful vacation destination. We don’t have much of an itinerary because Iceland’s weather is very unpredictable so most of what we do will …

Sometimes, you just need a separate bucket list. While I’ve got my winter goals, several of which I’ve already completed, but I felt like I needed a separate list for the places I want to go this year. There are definitely a few! Some of these have been on my list for a bit but this year, I’ve got a …
What a week! It’s had it’s really high highs and it’s really low lows. But it’s finally Friday. And I totally forgot to share my biggest news with you last week! We’re going to Iceland! A friend of ours found insanely cheap plane tickets and Dearest Carl actually decided to go for it! It’s pretty awesome. We’ll be gone for …
Vacation this year was interesting to say the least! We had some bumps to deal with like raccoons on the porch, rain and a power outage, but we also did fun new things like play new games and do a scavenger hunt. Here are a few snaps of our week in the woods! Day one was classically get-as-much-in-one-day-as-possible. In the …
Dearest Carl and I love finding new places to eat. Two weeks ago, we visited the Santorini Greek Kitchen for the first time and for our first real taste of Greek food. We were both very impressed and delighted with what we found! They begin by serving warm bread, topped with olive oil and herbs, and Greek salad in a deliciously tangy …
Adventuring is quite possibly my favorite. A few weeks ago, I got to adventure with Olivia to Emma’s Flowers, an Amish run greenhouse out in Milroy! It was a fantastic afternoon wandering through flowers and plants and talking about our homes and projects and plans. Of course, Olivia had to take pictures so I thought my new floral blouse from …
One of me and Dearest Carl’s favorite warm weather activities is hiking. Every so often, when we have a free Saturday, we pack up a lunch and drive to one of the many gorgeous State Parks for a day off the screens, getting some exercise and having fun together. It’s almost like vacationing for a day! I know some of …
