Bombs, Villas and Hiking in Italy
by Krista | Nov 15, 2011 | Bootstrap Monday
As much as I love seeing gorgeous old buildings and ambling down narrow cobbled alleyways in Italian cities, one of my favorite ways to get to know a place is to go hiking. When I visited my friend Maddalena in Italy this fall, she took me on a gorgeous hike just as...

Good morning, luvs! How was your weekend? After feeling pretty blech with a cold/flu/achy something last week, I perked up on the weekend and had such a good couple of days. Saturday I got to visit my friends Shirley and Joe at their gorgeous goat farm. I can't wait...

by Krista | Nov 2, 2011 | Plucky Thursday

Learning to Be Real
by Krista | Nov 1, 2011 | Gulliver Tuesday
A friend wrote to me the other day and asked, “How are you really doing?” I smiled because I knew exactly what she meant. When I started my blog two years ago, I was entering one of the darkest, most painful times of my life. Everything seemed to hit me at once and...

by Krista | Oct 27, 2011 | Fabulous Friday
It was a wonderfully stormy sort of day in England when my friend Katy and I boarded a train and headed to London. To say I was excited would be putting it mildly. Not only was I getting to ride a train in England - the land of my favorite authors, books, and...
