A New (Snow)bird’s-eye View of Palm Beach County

I think I’m too young to be a snowbird. But after years of talking about it, we did it. We purchased property in Florida. So, I guess I’m now a Palm Beach County snowbird and I’m here to share a few of my favorite things about PBC with you! How We Got Here For years my husband I would have the Miami versus Boca (our go-tos) debate as to where we wanted to be during the cold weather months up north. Although we love Miami  ...

24(ish) Hours at Miraval Berkshires

One day in January, I found myself in a rare situation- both my husband and daughter had plans and I had none. I had been wanting to check out the Miraval Berkshire Resort & Spa since it opened a year ago. Expecting a frigid and blustery weekend, the thought of some alone time in a cozy spa was all the convincing I needed to book my night away. Miraval is best known for its wellness resort in Tucson, AZ. (They also have a location in  ...

Bittersweet Birthdays

I am an all-in birthday girl. I LOVE my birthday. I love celebrating my birthday. I think everyone should celebrate their birthday for their entire birth month. But the birthday DAY has to be special. Growing up, birthdays were not spectacular celebrations or reasons to travel. Birthdays were usually family in our backyard, or if it rained, in our garage. Yes, our garage. But I find as I get older, birthdays are a thing that should be  ...

Nantucket, Summer’s Siren Song

There is a magical island off the coast of Massachusetts that calls to me every summer. It is old and small and the streets are uneven and yet its siren song is irresistible. It isn’t easy explaining why Nantucket is so special. I could say that it is my absolute favorite place to be in the summer, but that’s not really telling you anything. I could say it has miles of gorgeous, soft, sandy beaches, top restaurants, and fabulous  ...

Fashionable Memories and My Favorite Place to Find Them

I am a planner. I really enjoy planning travel and for me that includes everything from restaurants to outfits. By the time a new big trip comes along, I can usually think of one or two items that need refreshing and there begins the hunt. When I find an outfit I really love and wear it on vacation, I am immediately brought back to that trip every time I wear it again.
