My ideal vacation revolves around hiking, eating, shopping, and friends so when the opportunity arose for a backpacking trip to the Dolomites in Northern Italy I jumped all over it! Hiking in the Dolomites:   How to Get There: Our home base for the backpacking trip was Cortina, about a 2 hour gorgeous drive from […]

We love a good Target run! We both popped into our local Targets this week and wanted to share some good finds. Whether you’re looking for back-to-school items, homewares, or something for your wardrobe, they have some good options worth a look right now! Note: We are not necessarily adding all of these to our

Many of you have children headed off to/back to college. Now that Bed Bath & Beyond is only online (sniff, sniff – I guess I need to finally throw out all those 20% off coupons we’ve tucked away for years ‘just in case’) and you don’t have the easy ‘order everything you need and pick

When friends have big birthdays, typically ones that end in a ‘0’, we want to celebrate them and this often means buying them a meaningful gift. But coming up with the right gift can be tricky!  It has to be in the right price range (don’t want to insult, don’t want to break the bank),

Today and tomorrow, July 11/12,  is Amazon Prime Day. Love it or hate it, we all use Amazon (except our friend Katie F. who says she has NEVER ordered from Amazon?!!). Prime Day offers some great deals, whether you’re looking to stock up on basics or get that ‘something special’ that goes on deep discount.

Most of us do not ‘need’ much in the way of material goods. Our closets are full, our homes are furnished and decorated and our kitchens and pantries are stocked. But sometimes something new is needed or wanted. A gift for a birthday. A new dress for an upcoming wedding. A new pair of summer

We understand that most couples getting married have an on-line registry where they request everything from dishes to contributions toward their honeymoon or even a new couch. However, sometimes everything on the registry has been purchased or you may choose to go off-registry for a shower, wedding, or engagement gift. Maybe it’s a couple who

Whether heading to the local pool or off a special beach vacation this summer, you may be in the market for a new suit, cover-up, or pair of sandals. We understand that some people go fancier on their beachwear while others like to stick more to ‘the basics’. Chrissie is more on the basics side,
