I got a text from my Mom on April 4th, late at night when I was watching a movie with Sam. I told her to pause. Dennie had died. I was shocked. Grandma Evie is 89 and her 65 year old son died of an immediate heart attack while walking on the beach with his […]

“Thank you for making me feel seen,” is what I said in the car, as we were deep diving into stalking a weird situation with our friend. “Give me 5 minutes” “Well, we have 500 miles, let’s do this” When my brain goes a little crazy, it feels so nice to be matched, seen, heard, […]

Griffin sent me his Christmas list on Friday, November 21st. I was like… HOLY SHIT. I can’t believe I didn’t have to nag this out of him before Black Friday! But I had sent him what his sister had for her bday/xmas list, and so he was motivated. He actually had some stuff that he […]

Ahh girls trips. So good and so hilarious. There is something about being with your chosen family that makes you feel so good and can smooth over the some of the hangry, irritating moments. Not that there were a lot of those, thankfully. Just, you know, a few. 😉 So grateful for my besties. I’m […]

Disneyland is always a favorite. I wish I had a pass so I could go for a few hours, hop on two rides, and then cruise around while enjoying the people watching. And smell the waffle cones at Carnation Plaza. With Sam’s surgery coming up, she wanted to plan a few things. She had got […]

Saturday, our last full day! Sam wanted to sleep in and didn’t want any breakfast. J and I went out to breakfast at a local hotel. It was fancy but they had eggs and their fruit plate was divine. Before we left, I got some good writing in, a meditation, and my French lessons too! […]

Since we switched around our Tower of London tour, our Friday was pretty chill. The markets would be better on Saturday so we decided to tour around the palaces today. Sam wanted to sleep in (so did J) so they did that. I got up but decided that if we were walking, that was good […]

The next morning I got up at 6 and around 630 I said to myself… self? Kidding.. I just got up and went out running in Hyde Park! My favorite thing to do on vacation is run in the morning when it’s all quiet and beautiful (and alone) and I only did it ONCE this […]

The travel to London was uneventful which was perfect. We were able to find a gas station, get gas, return the car without ANY dings or issues (!!). Can I just say how proud I am of driving on the (wrong) RIGHT side of the car, on the (wrong) LEFT side of the road? It […]

The next morning I was up and doing a workout in the living room of our Inverness apartment which was much needed. I didn’t get a high heart rate like I did the day before but it was some good strength exercises. J was looking for coffee so we looked for an “open” place on […]

We went over to Laroch for dinner. It didn’t take reservations but we always eat dinner early anyway and didn’t have a problem getting a table. We all had the “steak burgers” and both J and I felt pretty terrible after eating. I just felt nauseous but J felt worse. Sam laughed because she felt […]

Well, I gave up on spending TOO much time on Canva and at least added a few pictures to my last post. We will see how far I get. Surprise: I got totally locked out for two days from my WordPress apps on my iPad and phone. Finally logged in through Safari, deleted the post, […]

Traveling is always sort of a time suck. I have some sort of elevated wish to be productive and get some work done, write, or… something. Did that happen? No. But that’s okay! For “reasons” I was sitting alone for both legs of the trip. I would really prefer to have a direct flight but […]

The final travel blog! And I’m writing it as I’m at the airport going to Switzerland… I passed AirFrance and man, was I tempted… So, I think I finished off when I had dropped J off at the hotel while he was deathly ill… I drove 20m and “tried” to find the street. I think […]

We took two “excursions” once we arrived in Sainte Maxime. We went to St. Tropez twice and then we went to Monaco after we dropped J off at the airport. I figured I would cover those both together since they were mini-trips… sort of! We arrived to Sainte Maxime on a Sunday. Monday I didn’t […]
