The Alsace Region :) France’s best kept Secret?!

ABROAD
As I previously promised here, I am sharing our day trip from Lucerne to the Alsace Region of France. Just a short 2 1/2 hour drive from Switzerland, this quaint and gorgeous region of France was vastly different than the other locations we had visited on our honeymoon. Less tourism. Less English. Breathtaking scenery and lots of untouched land. We felt like we were stumbling along an area that other Americans hadn’t really discovered. They had, of course- we...

One Month Anniversary for The Autumn Girl- thank you for reading!

THOUGHTS
The Autumn Girl is ONE MONTH OLD! :) It is surreal to me that it is already November. October 2015 flew by faster than any other month I can ever remember. Even our wedding month last year. We’ve been on the go. We’ve traveled 3 out of 4 weekends. And we moved to a new place. It has been a whirlwind month. We are so excited to be in our new town house. We feel like we are finally...

Little Home Accents: The Power of a Flower

Home Decor
For a long time, I didn’t really enjoy flowers. Or at least the idea of having them for a few days and then losing them as they wilted and fell apart. Plus they cost money! I’d rather spend that on clothing or jewelry or something that will last me longer than a week! (I also think I secretly chose to dislike flowers because no boy in high school or college had ever given them to me). WOMP. Oh well. Things...

The Happy List Series Part I

HAPPINESS SERIES
It’s 60 degrees and I’m sitting here at Starbucks with my laptop, my grande coffee with cinnamon & nutmeg, thinking and writing. And I can’t help but feel this overwhelming joy as I ponder all the lovely things I want to write about. I’m currently working on posts about the Alsace Region of France, a guide to Munich, and a series of people who inspire me. I might also begin guest posts because there are so many people around...

Happy Happy Autumn

LIFE
Happy Friday Y’all! Okay if you actually heard me say Y’all out loud, you’d probably call me a fraud. All of our Texan friends can’t help but tell me that I have a rather definite Chicago accent. I don’t know whaaaaaaaaat they are talking about. Tonight Eric and I are flying out to Cincinnati to celebrate a friend’s wedding. It’s the 7th one we have been to this year, but the first in fall. We are in the midst...

Good Reads!

READING LIST
I love love love to read. If you haven’t already, check out my ‘Good Reads’ tab on my sidebar. My latest books are listed there. I finished a book a few months ago and was completely devastated by the ending. Not that the ending wasn’t brilliant. It just wasn’t what I wanted it to be: happily ever after. I love fairy tales. I’ve come to realize I am a total sap and romantic and love stories that are picture perfect....

Pumpkin Protein Smoothie

RECIPES
I love pumpkin everything. It’s full of fiber, super healthy, and tastes awesome.  Here’s a recipe for a little festive protein shake :) I love this for before or after a workout. If you don’t have whey protein lying around at home, no worries! It’s just as delicious and nutritious without it. Ingredients: 1/3 cup pumpkin 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein powder 1 banana 3/4 cup almond milk 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp nutmeg Directions: It’s as simple as...

Blue Dahlia Bistro

*
One of these days I’m going to write a detailed guide to Austin. In the year that we’ve been here, we have seen and done quite a lot of things. I absolutely love this city and all that it has to offer. Great food, beautiful weather, wineries, fabulous music, & tons of outdoor activities- there is a place for any kind of person here. And it’s awesome. Eric and I move in just two weeks and I know one...

Santa Fe!

USA
Eric and I spent our Anniversary in Santa Fe, the most perfect place for a little weekend getaway. I cannot say enough good things about Santa Fe. If you’re a person who loves art, wine, and beautiful scenery, this is a place for you. With the gorgeous adobe structure & designs, turquoise abundant stores, mild weather, and desert mountain backdrop, there is no shortage of beauty in Santa Fe. We spent three days there and did not hold back with our food...
