Living on an island, the weather is all over the place. Yesterday, it was remarkably sunny and beautiful. The day before, there was a 90% chance of drizzle, with a 10% chance of everything else. Today – it’s just cold. But not quite cold enough to throw on our puffy jackets. Darn it. We love […]
Earning Our Stripes – The Travelista Ponders on Grief #WordlessWednesday #Linky

It’s Tea Time! A Date with My Favorite Person
Little mama and I were feeling a little under the weather these past few weeks, and were both in dire need of some cabin fever release. Between living out of a suitcase, and readjusting our sleep schedules, it’s been rough – but nothing a little yummy “pretend” hot tea couldn’t fix. My little English lady had […]
Dreaming of a White Christmas (with the Big Guy in Red)

Summer in November #WordlessWednesday #Linky

Hallway Patrol in Haute Pink #WordlessWednesday #Linky
Recently, we attended LD‘s older cousin’s annual dance performance at one of Big Daddy‘s hometown highschools. We figured splashes of hot pink would prevent us from getting lost in the crowd. Big Daddy, however, much preferred subtle over flashy. He figured there would be enough pink to go around at a dance recital. ~~ Outfit […]

Desperately Seeking Baby #WordlessWednesday #Linky
Tapping into her inner Madonna, circa 1985 – when she was known for her big, poofy skirts, cropped denim jackets, and crazy hair pieces.
