Budapest in 48 hours – part two
The next morning after breakfast we went to Gellert thermal spa. We chose this one because the Széchenyi baths we were told, are very crowded. The concierge also suggested Rudus baths.

Back to School Morning Routine
Forgive the silence around here this week. JB was out of town, and got back last week. And I have to laugh now, but I really thought I’d have all this extra time once the boys went to bed to blog. Which is HILARIOUS. The only thing I wanted to do was clean and pass […]

one act of kindness
A couple of weeks ago wes caught a nasty virus, that ended up causing pneumonia. We had such a long period of health before this, so when wes fell sick it knocked me down too. Not sickness wise. I was fine in that area. But mentally and spiritually I felt attacked. […]

The Perfect Gin & Tonic // Sponsored by Wayfair
*Thank you to wayfair for sponsoring this post* {outdoor pillows c/o wayfair} If I’m going to have a drink, it’s generally wine.

My open heart surgery story – a decade after
Ten years ago this month I had open heart surgery. It’s so crazy to me, that I’ve had this blog for eight years, and that I’ve shared bits and pieces of my heart story here. A few people expressed interest in the whole story, and an update, so I thought it was as good time […]
I wasn’t sure what to say after Parkland…I didn’t want to add to the noise. But it what crushing, heartbreaking, chilling news … No parent should have to send their child off to school and have them not come home that day. I am so so sorry to everyone in Parkland. Parkland is three hours […]
