Nothing says Christmas like baking holiday goodies with my momma and sipping on a fabulous glass of cabernet. This has been one of our traditions for as long as I can remember, well not the wine part, but the baking... yes ;) This year our tradition looked a tad different, as we got to spend the day with each other in mine & Austin's first home. We baked all the yummies in some of my favorite MacKenzie-Child's pieces & let Austin be the taste tester. His favorite thing my mom ...
Boston Travel Guide
Not sure how we have been married two years. Time needs to slow down! If you've been around here for a bit, you know Austin and I's "thing" is to take a trip every anniversary.

New Orleans Travel Guide
New Orleans had always been on my bucket list, primarily for the food (duh), but after a long weekend in the city I realized it is so much more than delicious meals. The city and streets have so much culture and history, it's unreal. The people are overly friendly. The live music is incredible. And why yes, the food is delicious. A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure to take a long weekend getaway to New Orleans. I traveled with my mom, bonus mom, aunt and cousin & wow! It was a ...
