My husband and I met years before we could close the gap between New York and California, but throughout the ups & downs of distance and life love prevailed. Here are some helpful tips that helped us stay connected and have fun over the miles 💞

We’ve been lucky to have traveled to Santorini and Mykonos, and while I thought they were awesome, it felt like they were swarming with Americans trying to get the perfect selfie and overpriced restaurants and hotels.

Incredible views, wonderful people, delicious restaurants, gorgeous beaches. It was a bit of a journey to get here (fly to Santorini and 2.5 hour ferry, or fly to Milos and 45 min ferry) but we definitely hope to be back! Here are some of our faves.

My guilt-free watchlist for single moms: the TV shows, movies, podcasts, and audiobooks I turn on when the house is finally quiet.

Some entertain, some inspire, and some just help me turn my brain off for a little while. Save this list and drop your own favorites in the comments.

As the saying goes there is no manual, no book, no follow along tutorial to raise healthy little humans. We all make mistakes as we go along this journey called parenthood.

I believe it is possible. A little love goes a long way. Here is what I have learned along the way and still keep on learning.
