In Strasbourg, Alsace you stop for fancy gingerbread First patisserie was shoppe; red, quaint, and filled to brim with gingerbread this and that. I’m not a gingerbread gal, but I wanted to experience what seemed to be a popular and award-winning pleasure. Raspberry filled, reminding me of a linzer (I wish it was one!) and…
My second leg of this trip brought me to Brescia where I visited Dario and Roberto at their Pasticceria Bosco. I put on my best outfit for the visit, sipped on freshly squeezed orange juice, and picked out a few pastry to munch on before my piadina. Some of the best people I’ve ever known…
Visit Writing this before I even step foot in the airport on the US side of things. Can I believe I’m heading to Italy? Yes, I guess?! But, I’m also not quite convinced it’s happening yet. Once the travel anxiety and baby butterflies flutter in my gut then I’ll know it’s happening. It’s funny how…

The boutique vintage space is so cozy and eclectic with its infamous book collection and fire place, bakery lined with tainted mirrors, and gorgeous sunroom. Ma and I are…
I got Colorado out of my system. I’ve always wanted to find myself there for leisure or even work and this summer Dillon and I took ourselves to it. I guess you could call it a vacation. But, after all said and done it was work! We saw, we did, we conquered. And then I…
Is it summer yet?! Let’s think about all of the things that make summer just FAB. Nostalgic summery things that make me say… yep here’s that summer feeling. -yellow pear tomatoes right from the vine. there is nothing like it, I swear! I pop tomatoes like candy during the summer. If you have an overhaul…
