The Sanderson Hotel in London has teamed up with model Danielle Copperman and her inspiring quinoa-based breakfast brand, Qnola, to create a Wake Up Well breakfast menu. If you haven’t tried Qnola yet then you must. It is one of my absolute favorite quick, easy and healthy breakfasts. I personally love the Cacao one, but […]
{Travel} An Afternoon in Ravello.
One of the goals in taking our Mediterranean Disney Cruise was beating the summer crowds, especially since we had young kids in tow, so when we learned that we would be docking in Naples on our Disney Cruise I chose an idyllic place far from the touristy madness, the beautiful Ravello. We were welcomed by the […]
{Travel} Chilling in Cinque Terre
One of the absolute highlights of our 12-night Disney Cruise was our tour of Cinque Terre from Diego of Fish and Chill. Both my husband and I had always wanted to visit Cinque Terre and when we found out our boat was docking in Livorno, we decided to skip the museum lines in Florence and […]
{Travel} All Aboard, Let the Magic Begin!
Let me start this post by saying that I never in a million years thought that I would want to take a cruise. Ever. The idea of thousands of people fighting for lounge chairs by the pool and being rushed through a dinner seating sounded absolutely horrific to me, and as soon as I booked […]
{Beauty} Introducing ONIRA ORGANICS
The last year or so everyone has totally freaked out about what we are putting into our bodies. As someone that tries (emphasize on the word “try” because I fail, a lot) to be gluten/dairy/sugar- free. I am always watching what I put IN, but up until now I have completely ignored what I am […]
{Travel} A Weekend at Soho Farmhouse
I joined Soho House earlier this year, but even with a membership it was a bit difficult to get a weekend reservation at Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire. Originally I had tried to book for the four of us to go, but the family cabins are booked until Spring 2017, so I made a reservation just […]

{Travel} An American Girl in Stockholm
At the beginning of the year we decided that now that the children are a bit older, it was time to start doing some European family vacations together. My Husband has had to go to Stockholm several times for work in the past year so he suggested this as our first weekend away together as […]
{Practical Tid-bits} Becoming British
Ladies and gentlemen, on Saturday I became a British citizen. I must admit it was a long road, mainly paved with paperwork. But at last, I can have the same passport as the kiddos. I thought I would go into a little bit of detail on the process of becoming a citizen so as to […]
{Travel} An American Girl in Prague
One of the absolute best things about living in London is the ability to explore neighboring European cities. It had been a while since the Husband and I took a weekend trip alone. (Come to think of it, I think it had been about a year.) So when he suggested Prague for Valentine’s Day, I […]
{Shopping} Breakfast with Farfetch & My Warm Weather Wishlist
Last week I was invited to a blogger’s breakfast at The Wolsely with Farfetch. The group of fellow ex-pat bloggers and I all had similar stories in common about how we moved from the US to London, mainly involving studying abroad and/or marriage to a Brit. We also chatted about our love of fashion, and […]
{Eat & Drink} I wanted to love Park Chinois…
I walked into Park Chinois last week and was overwhelmed by the opulent decor, gorgeous Londoners and loud live music. I met a girlfriend of mine and we sat at the bar (waiting on late-working Husbands) for a pre-dinner glass of champagne. “This place is beautiful!” I said. We sat there on the red velvet […]
