  1. My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary this week. We celebrated with a dessert wine from Italy that we drank out of gorgeous cups that my sister gifted us made out of Murano glass. If you ever make it to Italy, be sure to visit Murano, it is a beautiful place.

  2. I am very excited for the long weekend. Just found a new great food blogger with tons of great recipes for the holiday weekend. Check out these Brown Sugar Bacon & Smoked Provolone Turkey Burgers and this delicious looking “Liberty Burger” on a pretzel bun. Anything with pretzel bun is an automatic win in my book!
  3. One of my favorite travel bloggers is hosting a giveaway for a trip to Rome, London, or San Francisco! You win $1000 in airfare money and $3,500 to spend on 5-nights accommodation and tours. Enter Here.
  4. Really enjoyed this article about some of the perks being offered if you are in the middle seat on a plane. Picking a seat is one of my favorite parts of plane travel.

  1. 2018-05-20 12.42.51Have definitely added Italy to my “Must Travel To” list. Stella’s trip there last Thanksgiving was 1,000% inspiring and last week Adventurous Kate’s post on a bunch of different day trips you can do if you base out of Florence has me jonesing for some pasta, pizza, and all things Italian!
  2. Loved Desirae’s interpretation of the (now infamous) Market Watch “by 35” article. She hit the nail on the head with “you can’t save your way to retirement.” Anyone feel particularly inspired to start investing?? Check out our intro to robo-advisors post and then go get yourself a Wealthfront account!
  3. I thought AOM’s Primer on Military Rank and Insignia post was a great read. They always do a fantastic job of delving into topics I know very little about and never realized I could be interested in!
  4. I love Kimberly’s monthly “steals under $30” post. I almost always find something to lust after (this month: added this embroidered JCrew tank and these linen H&M shorts to my cart!), and never feel that bad because her roundup is always so affordable!
