Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Marc and I took Pooka on her first commercial flight from Atlanta to Denver for the Thanksgiving holiday. We plan on taking her to Italy for my family’s Christmas holiday and I wanted to test out how she would do one a commercial flight. Especially considering she hasn’t been in anything resembling […]

Sundays are for ice cream
We are lucky enough to live in a neighborhood in which we can walk to a lot of the coolest places in Atlanta. Makes Pooka and I feel less guilty about having ice cream 🙂 Don’t worry, it’s doggie ice cream. And she loves every lick!
Best day of the year: Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day! I hope you have spent it outdoors celebrating this beautiful, wondrous, ever changing planet of ours. Or maybe you’ve spent it traveling getting to know as much of it as possible. In celebration of Earth Day, here are some pics of me exploring different parts of this world. I can’t wait to […]
Saying another goodbye
My family and I have always been more of mountain people in the argument over mountain v. beach. But growing up in Florida it does kind of make sense to have a beach house for weekends and summers. Especially because when one has young kids, the beach really is fun. So a few years after we […]
Pura Vida in Costa Rica
In keeping with my year end promise to wrap up 2015-2016 travel posts, here’s the second one I owe y’all.. Some might say going to Costa Rica and staying on a resort the whole time is not experiencing the real Costa Rica. And they are probably right. But when one of your best friends works […]
A walk & a swim on the edge of a waterfall (Angel’s Pool in Victoria Falls)
(Part 4 of 4. Finally) Per my promise to finally wrap up my past due travel posts from 2015-2016, here’s the first one. To conclude my exciting weekends in Zimbabwe, the fourth and final outing on paper seemed pretty low key compared to what I had done. However, it ended up being one of the […]
Travel blog fail
The point of having a travel blog is to share about ones travels… Right? I suppose that was part of my reason for starting this blog almost two years ago. However, I have been failing miserably keeping everyone (all seven people who follow my blog) up to date on my travels. Life, as I am certain […]
World Rhino Day
The whole point of my trip to Africa in the spring of 2015 was to work on a rhino reservation. I chose Nakavango Conservation Programme because of the wonderful work that organization is doing to protect rhinos. On this World Rhino Day and #ThrowBackThursday I am reminded of the time my fellow volunteers and I camped out […]
The best day of the year!
It’s National Dog Day! Woot woot! If you are a regular reader here (all five of you), you know I’m obsessed with my princess fur baby The Pooka Monster. So today (like every day) we celebrate her! All hail the Queen!
Watermelon Tequila Jell-O shots
So in general I am against shots. I think they are a terrible idea and nothing good ever comes of taking shots. Plus, it’s not like it would slow down my wine drinking so why would I waste room on shots? However, the other day I was perusing the inter webs and saw the cutest […]
Peek a boo
It’s World Elephant Day! And if you follow my blog you know I’m obsessed with nature and animals. I love this picture I took last year while in Africa of this elephant trying to hid in the bush. She’s doing a great job, don’t you think?
Hello Fresh
I am in a food rut. I’ve been working kind of crazy hours this summer which has caused me to be really lazy about going to the grocery store and coming up with different meals for dinner. Marc works like a madman always so he has no time whatsoever to go to the store, and no one […]

Easy Guide to Animal Cruelty Free Beauty & Home
About three years ago I decided that no animal should have to suffer for my vanity. That just does not seem fair in any way with all the suffering we humans inflict on animals as it is. I have always had a bleeding heart for animals. Animal suffering pulls at my heart strings more than […]
