“Wanderlust: n. a strong desire for or impulse to wander or travel and explore the world”. I am consumed with wanderlust on most days. Do you dream of places unseen, cultures not experienced, food not tasted? I do! Even with a trip literally a few days away I tell my man, Dan about the […]
A couple weeks back I had the pleasure of learning about farm life while visiting with the charming Amie Herrera of Francesca’s Dawn farm. Full of laughter, love for her animals and farm as well as a vast knowledge about both. It was a steamy, warm day with abundant sunshine. Promised a delicious lunch, my […]

We recently returned home from our Canadian vacation and I brought home a revelation as my souvenir. Traveling is critical to my happiness and on this trip I realized how I am awarded this happiness. When you travel are there certain events that make or break how you rate your trip? I need to tell […]
The first full day of spring brought snow to N.C. and wanderlust to me – not sure why. Do you ever get the itch? You know, to pack a bag and hit the road – an escape – if you will! An adventure, a respite, maybe an interlude! Considering I won’t be able to take […]

SO, I tried my hand at Apple Pie Amsterdam last week. It was only a partial success but I am going to share with you anyway. I know that none of us are 100% successful in the kitchen and sharing a lack of success is as important as sharing every perfect accomplishment. Especially when it […]
