We just moved in to the most beautiful, brand new apartment building in Nashville! As you guys know, we moved across the country from Portland, OR so we had to leave all of our furniture at home and moved with only the essentials in the back of our car. Luckily, I was able to bring a few decor pieces to start with but the decorating process is definitely going to take awhile. The first room that is close to being done is my bedroom so I thought I would show you guys the progress!
Happy Holidays! I love the holidays and love thinking of gifts for people so I thought I would put together the ULTIMATE holiday gift guide with gift ideas for the men in your life, kids in your life, and every kind of gal in your life! I’m focusing more on gifts for women just because I obviously like girl stuff more but there is definitely something for everyone here. I hope this guide gives you some ideas on gifts to give this holiday season <3
On our recent trip to Europe, my sister and I decided to take a day trip to Ghent from Brussels, Belgium. Ghent is a small, Belgian city about 30-45 min outside of Brussels by train, so it was perfect for a day trip! The city is very walkable and it has so much character! Even on a rainy day, we were able to see a lot of what the city had to offer. It’s a beautiful, medieval city with tons of hip boutiques, coffee shops, and restaurants. We absolutely loved it! It actually reminded me a little bit of Portland, OR where I currently live. Both cities are very unique! I wanted to share some of the spots we visited and restaurants that we ate at for those who might be interested in visiting Ghent but don’t know where to start.
A few weekends ago, my sister Rocio and I got the chance to go to Bumbershoot, a music festival in Seattle. During our trip, we stayed at The Graduate Hotel near the University of Washington campus. The hotel has a historic 1930’s Art Deco design which I love!
Luxembourg is a very small country that borders France, Germany and Belgium. On our recent trip to Europe my sister and I decided to take a train from Cologne, Germany to Luxembourg City (about 4 hours and 30 min) where we stayed for a few days. It’s a beautiful city with a lot of French influence in it’s architecture and gardens. We absolutely loved it! In this blog post I will be sharing places to see, where to stay, and restaurants to eat at.
As a new dog mom, I’m always searching for the best products for my sweet Indio. (In case you missed the post about my new puppy, you can read more about him here!) I try to make healthy choices about what I put in my body, so of course I want to do the same for my growing pup. I recently discovered Freshpet for mealtimes which both Indio and I love!
Earlier this summer Rocio, Indio, and I got to stay in the cutest Getaway cabin near Mt. Adams in Washington! I had seen these cabins all over Instagram and Pinterest so I was really excited to stay in their new Washington campground. It was only about an hour and a half outside of Portland so it was the perfect weekend trip! The campground is full of these amazing modern cabins.
On my recent trip to Europe, my sister and I got to stay at the Jaz in the City hotel in Amsterdam! It’s a hip boutique hotel just outside the city. Rocio and I loved everything about this hotel! Our suite on the top floor had an amazing view and it was absolutely gorgeous. I really loved the music inspired design of our room. Actually, the overall design of the hotel is music inspired!
As a new dog mom to a 10 week old puppy, I need all the help I can get! That’s when Mr. Coffee comes to the rescue. I love that the Mr. Coffee® Easy Measure 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker is so easy to use and makes consistently good cups of coffee. We are currently crate/potty training Indio so he has to be taken out 3-5 times a night. Needless to say, I have been very sleep deprived! A strong cup of coffee in the morning has been a lifesaver.
