Hello, lovely people! Today I wanted to share a super easy summer treat that you can make for your dog using only 3 ingredients- pumpkin, yogurt, and honey. As some people may know, pumpkin helps to correct constipation and diarrhea in dogs which can come in handy when the summer heat starts messing with their bellies. This simple recipe for frozen pumpkin pup-sicles is sure to please your favorite four-legged friend.
I missed the official Rhododendron Festival that was held at Roan Mountain on Father’s Day weekend so we went to see them yesterday. The rainy weather was less than ideal but it didn’t stop us from enjoying these gorgeous purple blooms. Honestly, the mist created by the rain made it feel like we were walking through a fairy garden. Continue reading “ROAN MOUNTAIN RHODODENDRONS”
Latourell Falls was our first stop on a mini tour of Oregon’s natural wonder. The Columbia River Gorge in Mount Hood National Forest was stunning but I smiled when I realized that I traveled all the way across the country to end up somewhere that reminded me of home.

I was tempted to name this blog post like an episode of “Friends” and call it “The One with all the Tulips”. The Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival was a dream location that I placed on my bucket list over a year ago. I would like to tell you it was everything I hoped it would be but it was so much more.

St. Patrick’s Cathedral opened over 130 years ago in 1879 and it is truly a work of art. Continue reading “ST. PATRICK’S CATHEDRAL”
Ever the hungry girls in New York City, we made our way to Grand Central Station for a lunch date at The Oyster Bar. If I’m being completely honest (and I try always to be honest with you) I had no idea that there were restaurants on the bottom floor of this exquisite train terminal. Let’s have a look around. Continue reading “GRAND CENTRAL STATION + THE OYSTER BAR”
Powell’s City of Books is located in Portland and takes up an entire city block. You could walk around for hours and still not see everything but this bibliophile thinks it’s worth a shot. If you’re worried about parking, Powell’s has its own garage that’s free if you buy a certain dollar value in books and save your receipt. So with our challenge laid out for us… the hunt was afoot. Continue reading “POWELL’S CITY OF BOOKS”
Hey everyone! I hope you all had a relaxing Memorial Day Weekend. We went to Charleston, South Carolina for the first time and had a blast. I wanted to share the details of our trip with y’all. Continue reading “WEEKEND IN CHARLESTON”
I know I shared one of the pictures from Central Park when I wrote my birthday post but I wanted you all to see the others as well. I also want to announce the winner of the macaron giveaway! Continue reading “SNAPSHOTS FROM CENTRAL PARK + GIVEAWAY WINNER”
There was still snow up to my knees on Mt. Hood at the end of April. This Tennessee girl gets excited over a few flurries so this was definitely “stock up on milk and bread” level for me. At one point, I fell face first in the snow. I disappeared for a few seconds, ha! Continue reading “MT. HOOD”
