My family and I went on a mini holiday to Belgium and we visited Bruges and Brussels. We did lots of eating. Belgium is known for its waffles, french fries and mussels. We ate at a restaurant called Bones and had all you can eat ribs.They were very good. The best thing I ate was […]

I am the main blogger of our little corner of the internet. Our family temporarily relocated to Dublin, Ireland from Houston, Texas. We are traveling the world, learning and experiencing new things everyday and loving life one day at a time. We started this blog to share our travel experiences, experiences living as American expats in Ireland, lessons learned along the way and glimpses into our crazy life with our family and friends.

Where do I begin? I have spent almost an hour trying to decide what in the world to post. Trying to find a pic to sum up grateful was dang near impossible for me. And then...this...a sunset...on the caldera in #SantoriniGreece will make you count all your #grateful coins. I have it all...family, friends, love, books, health and the internet. 🙏🏾
Thank you so much to everyone that joined me on this challenge adventure. I enjoyed the connection and each of you truly made this lonely season bearable. Your participation was the best birthday gift ever. I am already looking forward to next year. 📸:@harvwheaton 🙏🏾

When I’m home, on Thanksgiving night, my mom, sister and I hit the streets and check out all the Black Friday sales. Obviously, that hasn’t happened in the last few years but I do get to get out and about and enjoy #shopping with the #Dublin Christmas spirit as a backdrop which is very magical. 🛍
#BlackFriday is a an actual thing in #Ireland that was adopted from you crazy Americans. The crowds don’t involve control by law enforcement, the stores are not open late and the sales actually start on Friday, but it’s the thought that counts I suppose. But, I still miss hitting up Target with my momma and sister (@tap_2013 ) if she’s in a good mood 🙄.

This has been our #tradition for 7 yrs now. The day after Thanksgiving, this guy makes an appearance. Can you spot him? Please ignore our tree that barely meets the minimum requirements. The Glitter Princess still believes in unicorns, fairies, the Tooth Fairy and Santa. I will admit that I am tired and keeping up with Herman (our #elfontheshelf ) is exhausting most days but she is only this young and innocent for such a short time and I choose to embrace and enjoy this season. The other one stopped taking his magic pills a few years ago so there’s that. 🎄

A couple of years ago, we visited #Munich. We took a little detour and visited the first Nazi Concentration Camp in Dachau. To be on the grounds of a concentration camp was surreal and eerie. There were over 32k documented deaths at the camp and you could feel the negative and sad energy at the camp. There are no limits to what you can learn from #travel. 📸: @harvwheaton ✈️

I enjoy cooking and baking. I really do except for when it’s not a chore which is not often during this life season. One joy I get from #baking is that now the Glitter Princess absolutely loves learning to cook and bake and she completes recipes about 95% on her own and she remembers every detail I have had the opportunity to teach her and I am so grateful. Over midterm break she made #pumpkin streusel muffins with very little supervision and they were perfect #autumn goodness. 🧁
Side Note: Although, pumpkins are a thing in #Ireland during Halloween, canned pumpkin is not a thing here. You can search high and low and randomly you will find it. 🧁

One of my #favorite activities is to travel. I remember when I was a little girl some and family friends had just returned home from Cozumel and was telling my parents all about their vacation. It was the most exotic place I had ever heard of at that age and I decided then that I wanted to travel the world. 🇮🇹 Fast forward about 30 yrs later and my family and I have been blessed with the opportunity to travel the world and actually see those places we only read about such as The Colosseum in Rome which also happens to be one of my #favorite Italian cities. 🇮🇹
We traveled to #Rome to celebrate my birthday and it was definitely an experience I will never forget. 🇮🇹
