Chichen Itza was recently added to the list of the “New Seven Wonders of the World” and we can see why after visiting this epic archaeological site in Mexico’s Yucatán state. Compared to Tulum, these ruins are on a much grander scale and have incredibly intricate carvings everywhere you look.
Tequila Tasting in Tulum
At 26 years old I didn’t think I still needed drinking lessons. I got enough of that in college as a sorority girl. While I’ve grown up a smidgen since then my palette is still more unrefined than I care to admit. Tastings are great way to learn more about your favorite alcoholic drink or […]
Tulum Ruins
Chris and I wanted to see the ruins in Tulum because we read that they were located right next to a gorgeous beach. The beach will blow you away! I think next time we will stay in Tulum for the entire trip. Tulum means “wall” and our tour guide said the large wall that surrounds […]

Ramseyer Farms
We drove to Ramseyer Farms in Wooster, Ohio while we were in town to visit Christopher’s family. I feel like I packed the whole fall season into a single afternoon and I’m not even mad about it. Pumpkin patches, corn mazes, hay rides, apple cider, and my personal favorite… donuts.
Double D’s Coffee & Desserts
Double D’s Coffee and Desserts is housed inside a double-decker bus that originally roamed the bustling streets of London. Since taking on a new life as a coffee shop this bright red bus keeps Asheville wanting more. Everyone can use a cup of tea or coffee throughout the day so why not get it with […]
Hole Donuts
Asheville has manifested itself in my mind as this southern mama who feels like she has to feed me every time I visit and this time mama made donuts. Donuts have been my favorite sinful indulgence for at least 5 years now. I have become somewhat of a connoisseur and I pride myself on knowing […]
Girlfriends’ Guide to Cider Fest
We had the most amazing time in Asheville for my bachelorette party! As fate would have it, Cider Fest was on the same weekend and this bride loves hard cider! Accompanied by my best girlfriends, we took Asheville and Cider Fest by storm the same way… one drink at a time. Looking back on this […]
