In 2013 my husband and I got married on a beach in Negril, Jamaica. Our eight days in paradise were spent at a Sandals resort. Prior to this trip, I had always eyed their cheesy commercials with mockery. But after only a couple days there, we were hooked. As a matter of fact, we… Continue reading 3 Items to Pack for Sandals (and 3 to leave at home)

Review of our Wedding at Sandals Negril
This is an old review from Trip Advisor (pre blog days) My husband and I just returned from our wedding at Sandals Negril and we absolutely loved it. The resort is very nice (although, as others have said, the rooms could use some updating—which I think they are scheduled for). We traveled with some family… Continue reading Review of our Wedding at Sandals Negril
Temporary Insanity #sol16 Day 26
Since we don't have kids, my husband and I both have a spare room to ourselves. His is full of dead animals and camo, while mine has two comfy reading chairs, book shelves, and a closet full of memories. Today I felt like remembering. When I opened the doors, I saw these: These are my… Continue reading Temporary Insanity #sol16 Day 26
The best birthday present #sol16 Day 12
When I was nine years old the Disney Channel was showing a lot of movies with one common element: horses. Like many nine-year-old girls, these beautiful, powerful animals caught my attention. From Dark Horse to Wild Hearts Can't be Broken, I was obsessed. I wanted to ride horses, read about horses, watch more movies about horses,… Continue reading The best birthday present #sol16 Day 12
NOT my event #sol16 Day 5
"TURN NOW! WHY DIDN'T YOU TURN? HURRY UP! FASTER!" Let me start by saying, I don't do well with yelling. I'm not from a family of yellers, I rarely raise my voice--even in excitement--and it kind of stresses me out when people are yelling. Even if it's not at me. And when it is at… Continue reading NOT my event #sol16 Day 5
Yoga Calendar for Lent
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday and the first day of Lent. I'm not Catholic (although most of my family are), but I like the idea of Lent. I like the idea of testing myself and setting a goal that (for whatever reason) I feel more motivated about sticking to. Last year I gave up social media.… Continue reading Yoga Calendar for Lent

Summer Reading Reviews: Before I Go to Sleep and A Dark and Twisted Tide
I finished two books this week, both by British authors. I'll start with the first by SJ Watson, Before I Go to Sleep. This was a pretty easy read, but it took me a while to get into it. I was determined, once again, to finish the dang book. It turned out to be quite… Continue reading Summer Reading Reviews: Before I Go to Sleep and A Dark and Twisted Tide
Summer Reading List: I Am the Messenger
I read I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak on Sunday, so I thought I'd share my view on it.Let me start by saying that I LOVED The Book Thief so I went into this open minded since I like Zusak's work. However, it took me a little while to get interested in it. The premise was intriguing… Continue reading Summer Reading List: I Am the Messenger
