I’ll just say it – I’ve been in a cooking rut. For dinner, Ryan has been the more adventurous cook while I’ve stuck to old favorites like beginner chicken dinner, baked salmon, and pad thai.

Is nearly a month into January too late to say happy New Year? Since it’s the first time I’m posting in 2018, I’m deciding it’s not. So… Happy New Year! I know January is usually a time where people are hitting the gym, going sugar free, and working to get healthy after eating all the…

Athens! Grecian Holiday Part 1
I’m in Greece! Literally as I write this I’m typing poolside in Crete. Look here’s proof. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Last week I flew back to London, back to our cute little flat, and back to Ryan. It was wonderful to be back. Done with the move and done with long distance. Now,…
Tourist Tuesday: Farmington, Connecticut
I do know it’s Thursday, and I’m sorry for the late Tourist Tuesday – but I’ve been lazy and thoroughly enjoying my vacation.
