i can't believe that it's already been a week since our first #hgv vacation (staycation). isn't it so true that vacations just go by way too quickly? however although that is the case, i am extremely glad that we were still able to get away - even if it was for a quick three-day weekend. …
staycation essentials
with our first #hgv staycation coming up, it always makes me start to think about what i am going to pack. now, i am a typical planner and tend to pack a bit earlier than i need to, but it has made me start thinking about our "staycation essentials." we've staycationed quite a bit over …
red, white and rosé
happy red, white and rosé?! yesterday was the fourth of july, and naturally we celebrated in typical fashion...with wine! i love this time of the year - sweet summertime, relaxing with friends and it's honestly the perfect time for a nice refreshing rosé. i hadn't really been a huge rosé drinker until just recently, especially after understanding …
sunday runday
95 days and counting... i can't believe that we are officially under the 100 day mark until the chicago marathon. the time to train just seems to be flying by so quickly. but thankfully (somehow), i have stayed true to my training plans. that's what i've found to be most important - getting out on …
chicago training begins…
i cannot believe that my chicago marathon training has officially begun. yesterday i had my first long run to kick off my summer long training for my very first marathon. it has become a lot more real that i am actually going to be running 26.2 miles. but alas, there is no turning back now. …
vacation rosés?

are you a fanatic?
if you are an orlando local, an avid runner and looking for a great running series, look no further than becoming a track shack fanatic. i just signed up and cannot be more excited. seriously these track shack races are some of my favorite in the year. so what does it mean to be a …
come sail away
oh my goodness, i can't believe that it is less than 2 weeks until we are sailing away. i feel like this vacation could not come at a more perfect time. with the normal busy nature of life, we are so ready to get away and just relax (and maybe get a little sun-kissed too). …
vacation planning begins…
oh man, it's official...we are fully activated with our hilton grand vacations club membership. to say we are excited is truly one of the biggest understatements of the year. and naturally, being the planner that i am, i've already mapped out a few places that we can travel to this year - all documented within …
hello #hgv membership
we are officially hilton grand vacations club members! i know you must be thinking, "what, a timeshare?" i know, it definitely seems a little unconventional for a couple in their late 20s / early 30s but we took the plunge. now, don't let me fool you...we did not think that we were going to buy …
