On our sixth day of the cruise we found ourselves celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary in Istanbul, Turkey! Istanbul was hands down one of our favorite places that we visited during our cruise. This was one of the cities that I was able to plan for us to walk off the ship and visit without an excursion, so it was …

Five years ago my husband and I visited the Lock of Love art installation that was put up on Valentine’s Day of that year (photo from 2010 above). We bought a lock and had it engraved so that we could put it on there and throw away the key, thus cementing our love forever (or so the story goes!). Being …

After putting Project Baby to bed Xander and I made a promise to each other to make a point of enjoying our freedom. To take time out together and take little getaways when we can and splurging on ourselves when we are able. We had had such a stressful year in 2013 that we really wanted to find a place …

Settle in, this is going to be a long one… About two months ago my friend Penny told me her husband was going away for a weekend in May, she was unloading her son with her sister-in-law and asked if I wanted to have a girl’s day. I’m always up for a girl’s day so I promptly marked it on …

My husband isn’t a big fan of playing games, unless it’s something like Trivial pursuit where he knows his knowledge will always trump mine. I couldn’t believe it when we came along the giant checker board and he said he didn’t know how to …

This is a photo I took of Lake Salagou back in 2010 on our previous visit to the south of France. We had visited for the day with my mother-in-law and went for a lovely drive around the area. When we saw her this year we decided to visit again. I didn’t take a lot of photos around the lake …

This year my husband and I decided to do something different for Valentine’s Day. Normally we don’t really do much, just hang out and make a nice dinner, to go a movie or go out for something to eat. This year I saw that a Bollywood show was coming to the Luxor Theater in Rotterdam and I really thought it …

The first thing that comes to mind here is… bury my husband. I know, morbid right? I can’t help it though, when I think of the absolute worst thing that could happen that I’d never ever want to do, that’s it. I have this really childish inability to deal with it as well.
