Longwood Gardens – Late Night Christmas Style
I have been craving to explore the beautiful Longwood Gardens everyone always talks about and I finally attended. I would see spectacular photos of this stunning scenery throughout the year in broad daylight, but for my first time going it was at night during the wonderful Christmas Holiday season, which I think is truly special. The experience was magical and if you’ve ever seen Disney World at Christmas time with their stunning lights and Christmas music, you may get some of those same shimmering vibes. I know that’s a corny correlation but that’s honestly how I felt, as if I was in a place full of magic. This was something…

Friday Night Flights: Sangria Tapas Restaurant Review
I’m not sure about you, but with summer coming to an end I am craving EVERY kind of food imaginable. I think my body is thriving on the last warms days we have left and taking full advantage of going out to eat at restaurant patios every chance I get. It sure is making my life expensive but extremely tasteful. My good friend came across a restaurant called “Sangria Tapas Restaurant” in Mahwah, NJ and they had me at “Sangria” and “Tapas.” I LOVE sangria. To me it’s the perfect summer sipping drink. I also love to share food so Sangria and Tapas honestly sounded like a match made in…

Wedding Wednesday – The Struggle of Being a COVID Bride
As many of you are aware, since I have posted about it time and time again, John and I were suppose to wed Saturday, April 18, 2020. There was so much excitement in the air and yet a feeling of anxiety whenever I would glance at my list of things left to do. The feeling was overwhelming but so magical at the same time. We were only about 4 weeks away from the big day when I received the dreaded phone call I was hoping I would be lucky enough to avoid. “Due to COVID-19 we need to reschedule your wedding.” Can we take a moment and realize how devastating…

Anna Maria Island, FL
Hi all! So excited to tell you all about this trip! For Thanksgiving my family and I went to Anna Maria Island, FL. John and I headed on a 17 hour road trip to bring the pups….YES….we drove 17 hours just to bring the pups with us. It was exhausting. I know Thanksgiving, November 2019, was SO long ago but what better time than now to post this and relive all the beautiful moments we had before the devastating COVID struck our world! I hope everyone finds enjoyment out of this post during such a crazy time. Just as an FYI this post probably has the most photos I have…

West Coast Road Trip: Part 5 – California!
Hey guys! This is my second to last post for the West Coast Road Trip. I can’t believe we’re almost done. Sharing these memories and tips with you all has made me truly relive the experience and miss it so much. It was such a beautiful experience and I am so happy to say I took this adventure. After we left Las Vegas we headed off to California! I was so excited because we took a quick detour on the way to San Diego, CA to meet John’s grandparents. It was my first time meeting them and it was such a pleasure! They took us out to lunch and we…

Review: Rehoboth Beach & Dewey Beach, Delaware
Hi all! I just spent the weekend in Rehoboth Beach, DE and it was a great way to spend time with John and our dog Mia. This location is an extremely dog friendly place to visit which was great for us! We stayed at “Atlantic Oceanside Resort“, 1700 Coastal Hwy, Dewey Beach, DE 19971. If your a dog parent like me this was an extremely dog friendly hotel to stay at. Everyone had their pooches with them! They had an upstairs balcony with chairs and tables, free breakfast (love free things!), a pool, a gym, and a dog friendly beach only feet away (About a 30 second walk). The only…

Review: Brownstone Pancake Factory
I’m not sure if you are like me but I LOVE pancakes. Lately it’s been more of an unhealthy obsession, but who doesn’t like fluffy buttered bread and syrup?! If you are tired and bored of the regular diner pancakes you need to try “Brownstone Pancake Factory“. This place has over the top insanely unique pancakes and milkshakes. This restaurant is located at 860 River Rd, Edgewater, NJ 07020 and they DO NOT take reservations. Honestly, it’s probably because they are just too high in demand and extremely busy. I would suggest going closer to their opening time at 7:00 AM because I imagine by 9:00 AM and onward it…
