Visiting Mont Saint-Michel felt like stepping into a time machine and being tossed out of the portal into the Middle Ages. It’s over a THOUSAND years old. Actually, closer to about 1,200 years old! The fortress evolved over several hundreds of years, but dates back to the 8th century. The only other placed I’ve traveled to that is even close…
If you’ve seen shows like ‘Band of Brothers’ and ‘Saving Private Ryan’ then you might already have a picture of Normandy in your mind. D-Day was a World War II turning point for Allied troops in the effort toward taking back France from German control and eventually ending the war, changing the course of history. Visiting such a place was…
I feel very blessed to say that I have traveled pretty abundantly in my 32 years. Up until this year, I had been to 38 states, Mexico, Canada, and a few Caribbean island nations. But in January (2019) my husband and I finally made the journey across the pond to Europe for the first time. Then in April, we went…

This American Flag Fruit Pizza is my favorite 4th of July treat and it was a HUGE hit when I made it last year for a party! It’s really easy to make and fun for all ages to enjoy. Though as a very rich and sweet treat with lots of dairy and sugar, this is something that I’ll only make…
Last summer I talked my husband into letting me buy an Intex Easy Set Pool for our backyard! Having a pool in the backyard to float around and cool off in on a hot Tennessee summer day? YES PLEASE! I’m going to tell you exactly what what you need to create your own little backyard oasis (for just a couple…
One of my favorite things about spring is ditching the gym treadmill routine and going for runs outside! I made a new workout playlist, mostly of songs that are brand new this year or from 2018. Get pumped for your next run or workout with these awesome new tunes! I love a wide variety of music, but this time I’ve…
