Traveler, Blogger, Dog Lover, Just Me

Born in the States, I grew up abroad and consider Aruba my ‘hometown’.  My story is an amalgam of southern charm and wanderlust, heavily influenced by faith, generations of Carolinian matriarchs, a father who taught us to explore the world, and my partner in crime, my husband, who inspires me with his heart for people and for life, and who’s favorite exclamation is ‘Adventuring!’ - a tag line we live out loud.

This is a lifestyle blog about a few of our favorite things: food, fashion, art, travel, entertaining, and above all, fun.  Although a master of none, I enjoy dabbling at all.  For me, it’s about celebrating the simple things - the scents and shades of a brilliant bouquet, the rich aroma of a meal made to share, and the warmth of friends and family catching up around a table - sprinkled with moments of ridiculous whimsy like donning fanciful hats for the Derby or spending the night at a haunted B&B (of which we’ve done both…more than once!).  After all, it’s about living life in full.
