    Siracusa & Ortygia

    June 16, 2018 / No Comments

    We booked a tour to Siracusa and Ortygia from Taormina. Siracusa is about an hour or so south of Taormina. When we were planning our trip we asked around about the ‘must see’ places and Siracusa was one that came up over and over. I’m glad we decided to do a Siracusa and Ortygia tour. The first stop was the Archaeological…

We are again flying out of JFK airport since the price of the airfare was significantly cheaper and the…

    Planning Ahead

    February 28, 2018 / No Comments

    Sundays are for meal planning and prepping. Since this Sunday is a rainy dreary day it was the perfect day to get ready for the week! Meal planning and prepping has been such a savior to me, especially now that I am back to going into the office almost every day. Having the week’s meals planned out takes stress off…

    The Season of Giving

    December 18, 2017 / No Comments

    This year getting into the holiday spirit has been a difficult for some reason. I don’t know what the cause it…..busy 9-5 job, busy home life, or what, but it just doesn’t feel like Christmas will be here before you know it. We have recently started to get got a taste of winter where you actually had to pull out…
