Maui is an incredibly amazing and special place! We spent our days relaxing at the beach and our nights eating fish tacos and shaved ice.

Fall/Winter Cabin Getaway {Lifestyle}

P and I had an amazing time with my parents at our cabin near Canada this past weekend. We were able to experience the first dusting of snow with the lingering signs of fall and open water on the lake - it was breathtaking! And the sun was shining so the sunsets were unreal! We spent the weekend hiking, relaxing by the fire, sleeping, hunting, baking, and enjoying one another's company. We love to get away from the city to rest in the beauty of God's creation! 

With Love,

A

San Diego Getaway {Lifestyle}

This past weekend P and I, along with my dear friend, headed out west to San Diego for our college friends' wedding. It was a wonderful long weekend full of sunshine, waves, good friends, and celebration as two wonderful people became one in marriage - we could not be happier for them. P and I fell in love with the San Diego area, enjoying yummy meals out, hiking, relaxing on the beach, and exploring wine country in Temecula. My third grade kiddos start today, so this trip was a perfect way to unwind and getaway before another school year begins!

Nashville, TN {Lifestyle}

Recently my husband and I took a trip to Nashville, Tennessee for our cousins wedding. We had so much fun exploring the city and all of the local places. Our cousin gave us a list of her favorite places and we were able to hit up each one! It was a perfect weekend away, and with Nashville being only about 15 hours from the twin cities, I encourage you Minnesotans to get down there and visit a Honky Tonk! P and I cannot wait to visit again next summer. Happy Tuesday y'all! 

{We enjoyed delicious breakfast and lunch spots: lunch and a glass of rose at Frothy Monkey (if you head here, make sure you shop on 12th street and hit up imogene + willie - amazing custom made jeans); Red Bicycle for crepes and iced coffee; Barista Parlor for an egg sandwich and coffee (they have a stage outdoors for live music, a must see if you are heading to Nashville)}

{Every last weekend of the month, Nashville throws a huge Flea Market at their state fair grounds. We spent the morning exploring different vendors selling vintage and antique treasures, refurbished pieces, and one-of-a-kind masterpieces. We wanted to bring home almost everything that we saw, but we had very limited space. We ended up purchasing a frame built from 1920s barn wood, fresh peaches from the Peach Truck, and a vintage sun tea container (similar here). We cannot wait to get back here to find more treasures}

{Downtown Nashville on Broadway was an absolute ball. We enjoyed our time listening to live music both on the streets and at some Honky Tonks, seeing Ryman Auditorium, and having lunch at Pinewood Social}

{One morning it rained so we headed to the Country Music Hall of Fame and spent time exploring Hatch Show Print, a historic and famous letterpress shop that has been in operation since 1879. The prints were mainly created for music concerts and are still being created today. We ended up purchasing a print for our home and I cannot wait to display it} 

{Our cousins wedding was absolutely beautiful, reminding me of something out of Southern Living. It was a beautiful mix of southern chic with a rustic flair, while being perfectly timeless...so Jessie and Logan. At a plantation estate under the stars, lightning bugs, and live music, our dear cousins said "I do" surrounded by their friends and family. It was a night to remember and we were so thankful we were able to celebrate with them}

With Love,
