Things I Would Tell My 10-Year-Old Self
Today is my oldest’s birthday. I can’t believe I have a child who is officially in the double-digit range. My mini-me is now a 10-year-old. Here are 10 things that I know now, and I hope my daughter will know. It’s not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts. You are responsible for what you do, no matter how you feel. There are people who love you dearly, but just don’t know how to show it. True friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. No matter how good a friend someone is, they are going to hurt you every once in a while,…

Dreaming About San Giorgio Mykonos
My jaw hit the floor when I stumbled upon the San Giorgio first at TBEX in Greece, and I haven’t been able to wake up from this dream! I’m starting a savings account just for this place because if I don’t stay there at some point, I’ll have serious life regrets. What a stunning combination of modern and bohemian, filled with textures and simplicity. San Giorgio is a place where I feel like my mind could escape, and I could exhale – a paradise found in Mykonos. There some heavenly place on this earth, and this is one of them.

Only A Mother’s Love
“When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.” Sophia Loren As much as we love traveling and being out in the world, we also cherish our cozy, loving & simple home life. My boy is rarely ever ready for school on time because he is playing around the house and just hanging. Mornings are the best. It is so hard to break our rhythm and go about the rest of the day. We wake up, and we go out on the terrace, I enjoying my coffee while the kids eat a little…
