Family Fun in St. Martin

St. Martin has been a romantic getaway destination for me in the past, but that's not to say that there isn't any fun on this 34 square mile island for kids to enjoy as well. There are two parts of this island to explore. The French side (St. Martin) and the Dut[...]

Winter Escapes to Steamboat, CO

When it comes to Colorado vacationing, I am more of a summertime girl. I learned this quickly when traveling to Beaver Creek one summer, and then again to Vail, and then of course, I was delighted in sharing my love for Colorado summers with my family when I travel[...]

Favorites for a Family Vacation in Aruba

The school year has started for a lot of families and we're all getting into the routine of things. But before you put away those bathing suits, don't forget about the long list of holidays to come before the year comes to an end, which makes for a great excuse t[...]

Rhone Valley, France: Road Maps and Photo Tour

Every time I visit a new destination in France I think that I have seen the one that beats them all, until I visit another. I'm learning that it's difficult to compare regions with each other because they are all so different and each have something beautiful to o[...]

Electric Bike Tour through the TerraVentoux Winery

There are so many fun ways to experience a winery. Tasting the wine, is of course, top of the list. But how about a bit of easy bike riding through the vineyards as well? Now, before the shock of "drinking and riding" hits you, let me know that the riding is on an[...]

Discovering the cozy St. Martin

I've talked a lot about growing up spending most of my weekends as a teen in all-inclusive resorts because of my father's job in the hospitality industry in the Dominican Republic. There isn't a lot about these types of resorts that I don't know. As a mother of th[...]

Visiting Thailand and Cruising the Mekong River

It's been two weeks since I returned from my trip to Thailand. I was ready for a very many things, except for the long flight - I definitely should have prepared better for that (sleeping meds, more getting up and stretching, and more comfortable clothes, for star[...]

Playa del Carmen: An intro to Mexico

As I write this the chilly wind keeps forcing the frozen branches outside to slap against my window pane. My house is warm but I can't help but feel a slight chill come over me. "It's freakin' cold outside," I think as I grab a warm cup of tea, in the hopes that i[...]

A Taste of Lisbon, Portugal

Two days are hardly enough time to visit Lisbon, but this is the part where my job gets in the way a bit. I would love to stay here longer and take in the city even more, but I must move on to cover other places. Were I to take a regular tour with Insight Vacatio[...]

Listen, I have a few more things I want to enjoy, Listen, I have a few more things I want to enjoy, see, and do before summers’ end but as of today there are 56 days till fall and the signs are already here…as seen from the apples that have fallen from our trees. 

So if you are hesitating to take that road trip, jump in that lake, camp in those woods, gather outside with friends for a little grilling and fun in the sun, this is your cue to get to it. Time waits for no one. And there’s so much life to live. So, get to it! 

See you out there.
Add this spot to your next visit to Naples, NY. 📍@plenty_the_diner is one of those spots that you know is going to be yummy the second you walk in. This airy, modern diner brings all the made-from-scratch goodness we locals have grown to love from their sister bakery, the OG, @plenty_the_bakery in South Bristol, NY, both owned by Brendan and Michelle Halloran. 

The blueberry pancakes I shared with hubby were a favorite for me, especially with the in-season blueberries on top. And the Plenty Bowl wasn’t much a “bowl” per say but it was the perfect diner breakfast combo of home fries topped with melted cheese curds (Zomg 😋), your choice of eggs and breakfast meats. There are sandwiches and salads to choose from as well if you are leaning more towards lunch, and of course, freshly baked pastries. No espresso drinks but another highlight for me was their cold brew - which surpassed any “diner coffee” I’ve ever had. 

There might be a short wait but on a nice day you can wait at one of the picnic tables located in the park right next to the diner. 

Wonderful staff, lovely vibe, and a perfect start to your day exploring sweet Naples.

24 hours of Josie 🐾 have been such a joy as she 24 hours of Josie 🐾 have been such a joy as she has already proven to be every bit of the cuddly, playful, curious, gentle doggie we knew she would be. Will she be put outside to guard livestock? No. She is far more likely to be on the couch getting belly rubs and watching TV with us, or going for long walks in the park or around our country cottage, or falling asleep in her cushy bed.
I’d like to introduce you to the newest member o I’d like to introduce you to the newest member of our family: Josie 🐾  She is a 2 year old Great Pyrenees mix - yes, I know, completely opposite from our previous fur babies. She loves cuddles and scratches, walks, and kisses. She also seemingly loves #Survivalofthethickest and her new bed. 

We are teaching her to do more than just sit on command, and have yet to hear her bark, though based on her in-take form at the shelter, she will at the mailman. 

Thank you to everyone at @schuylercountyhumane for connecting us with this sweet angel. We are going to shower her with all the love. 💕 Support your local humane society.
