Our third stop on the refugee tour was probably my favorite so far. Almost ALL of our family gathered in Denver, Colorado to watch my beautiful sister-in- law get married! We got an extra long time with Danny and enjoyed endless festivities and constant entertaining (hats off to my mother in law, entertainer of the …
When ‘Thank You’ isn’t Enough
It’s been almost two months since we survived hurricane Irma, causing us to lose valuables and the girls and I to evacuate our island. Since then, we have been bouncing around from city to city, with no routine and an unsure future. The silver lining- we get to visit tons of family and lots of …
Lusting for Linen
Every anniversary Danny and I follow the classic gifting rules, it’s really fun to have specific guidelines and challenge ourselves. (Here’s an example of the list I have to pull from Pinterest every year). We love to surprise each other, and always attempt to top one another. We decided to stick to the traditional side, …
Fall Goodies for the Girls
Living on St. Thomas, when October rolls around I seriously miss the states. I grew up in Columbus, Ohio, so I'm used to the golden leaves, crisp air and all things fall. The past five years our fall still consists of brutally hot days and picking out bikinis instead of boots. This year, because of …
A day at the Pumpkin Patch
Driving around North Carolina I saw the sweetest pumpkin patch, with hanging lights and TONS of big, orange pumpkins! I not only wanted Denver to run around and explore, I wanted it documented! I am lucky enough to have a very talented family so I brought my husbands cousin, and God daughter, Cassidy along. She …

Dear St. Thomas
Four years ago, Danny and I woke up in Serendipity Villa and got ready to get married on the point at Sapphire Beach. It was the perfect island wedding. Surrounded by our friends and family, Bob Marley on the steel pans and a constant flow of rum, we couldn't have asked for anything better. Today, …
Let me tell you ’bout my best friend
aka the man I get to call my husband. Thursday marks our four year wedding anniversary, and we'll most likely be spending it apart. We usually saber a bottle of champagne, exchange classic anniversary gifts, (more about this after I give his gift, I'm super excited) while reminiscing of our amazing island wedding. But this …
The journey is half the fun, right?
Tuesday morning, another day I wasn't really looking forward to, the girls and I trapped in our bunker and Danny on home clean up. Ray had me up since 4am, to watch the sun come up and everyone else wake up, so I was taking a short morning nap with Ray. Danny woke me up …
Surviving Hurricane Irma
Thursday September 7th 24 hours have passed since the biggest hurricane to ever hit the Atlantic, hit our little island. We all survived and that is what mattered, but the aftermath & devastation are mind blowing, our lives will never be the same. We had done everything we could think of to prepare, not knowing …
