Then it was Fourth of July which Lily‘s first time meeting my whole family. Then it was September 9th, my brother‘s wedding. And ...

Greetings from Greece - Family Shot in the Aegean Sea

Today is our last day in Macedonia, the eastern most part of Greece.  For the last five days we have been staying at an enormous beach side escape, Sani Resort, and having an amazing time.  The weather is not what we were expecting, it has been quite chilly, but it has been a wonderful family holiday none the less.  Lily is quite the little travel bug already taking her 5th flight here and later ...

Barbiecore Zendaya

Source: Zendaya in Valentino Come on Barbie, let's go Barbie! All pink everything?  Head to toe pink?  It has always been a thing but now the trend has a name, Barbiecore, and it is all the rage.  I have read 20 definitions and none of them are the same but take the best of bubblegum pink, all things girly, and 80's nostalgia and you'll have something along the right lines. Similar to last ...

Swimming in the Madeira Lava Pools

11/23/21 | Madeira, Portugal, Solo Travel, Travel

Travel Blogger at the Madeira lava pools

Swimming has always been my thing but in the last 10 years it has been nice to grab a bikini to go to a pool instead of a one piece and a swimming cap.  I went swimming nearly every day I was in Madeira over the Summer but the best place I went in the water was in this lava pool.   In Portuguese the name is Piscinas Naturais Velhas, translated it means Porto Moniz Natural Swimming Pools, and it ...
