Every once in a while – if you are very lucky – you stumble across a place you know in an instant you will never forget. This was the case with Sorrento, Italy. My dear daughter and I were incredibly lucky to spend 4 magical days exploring the area. We walked until our feet hurt, laughed until our sides ached… View Post
Packing for a vacation to Europe can be a bit stressful. Packing for a last minute 21-day trip to Europe with just a carry-on bag? That notches things up to a whole other level. This kind of adventure requires some super strategic planning, some smart packing and maybe even a little bit of luck. Want to know a secret? It… View Post
I’ve been keeping a secret. I’m not just a writer and travel blogger – I also help to coordinate fabulous weddings at a gorgeous wedding venue in my hometown. Over the years I’ve learned a lot, not just about what it takes to have an incredible wedding day, but what couples should be doing and asking BEFORE they book their… View Post
Where would you go if could go anywhere in the world? Seriously. Anywhere. This is the question my Hubby and I recently found ourselves asking each other and this time….we gave ourselves permission to dream big!

I’ve gone from someone who was self admittedly spoiled – travelling multiple times a year – to being trapped in our house, in our town, in… View Post
By now you all know I’ve left a piece of my heart in Florida. A quick flight or even drivable from Ontario, it’s the perfect place for that family vacation, a quick romantic getaway, a place for foodies or adventurers, Florida offers a little bit of something for everyone. One of the places that’s calling me back? Tampa and… View Post

Current need. Sunshine. I just want to sit on a beach and soak in the sun – but not just any sun. That Florida sun. It just seems to shine a little brighter, last a little longer, show off a little more. Maybe this is why Anna Maria Island is calling me back. Known for its bike-able roads, beautiful beaches,… View Post
