One of my and Josh's favorite beach vacations is going to Sarasota, Florida. When visiting, we typically stick to our favorite spots on one of the keys, but for this trip decided to mix things up a bit and explore the city with an outdoor scavenger hunt in downtown Sarasota after our morning run.

​Our latest date night at home had us in the kitchen trying out Turkish coffee making. This is a great way to get some quality time in, whether it's over pastries in the morning or an afternoon cup after a long work day to connect. With few ingredients and a simple recipe you can easily create this coffee experience. Do take note that this post is best for coffee lover couples. ;)

​When looking for ways to live more sustainably, upgrading kitchen sink accessories can easily replace plastic while elevating your home. Below are ways I've recently made my way to a more sustainable kitchen.

​As Josh and I have been hiking and running long distances, we wanted our next hiking adventure to be a trail run. This one started us on Penny Pines Trailhead to Garnet Peak. Then we doubled back and headed up the pacific crest trail to memorial peak, with gorgeous views visible for majority of the hike. 

Welcome to my first book club recap, where I share five book recommendations in each post. I enjoy historical fiction the most. At the same time, I like to keep things interesting by adding other genres into the mix. Some are newer, while others are oldies but goodies. 

​To mix things up a bit, Josh and I decided to have a French-inspired date night, complete with a night in the city and a French wine and cheese pairing at home. Read along as I share our experience and best tips at date night: the French way.

​Food gifts are a favorite of mine for long-distance relatives, and those times I find myself not knowing what to get someone. They apply to every occasion, can easily be made personal to the giftee, and come gifting ready in the mail, so you don't have to worry about them missing out on the excitement of opening their gift. In this post, I'm sharing the best food gifts I've come across over the years, and tips on making them unique to the individual.
