1992. St.Louis
2022.

So much fun to re-do this first photo from ’s wedding weekend while in Le Marche together last week.

We’ve been dreaming & planning this trip for literally years. Renting the farmhouse was the heart of our trip from the beginning and the perfect place to explore, unwind and reconnect.

Ashley & Jason spoiled us with delicious breakfasts, truffle hunting,cooking class, wine tasting and group feasts every night.

More details & photos coming soon…

P.S. Best decision ever- plan a trip to Italy with your besties. Bonus points if you rent the farmhouse at ! 🥰

Sunday lunch in Rome.

Always on the hunt for the best roasted potatoes- (found in most restaurant’s contorni section of the menu)

These were pretty darn good. But our #1 is still in Orvieto. We’re headed there soon to see if they are as magical as we remember. 😂

🇮🇹 What a dream to be here in Italy with some of my favorite people in the world.

👯‍♀️We have shared many adventures over the past 38 years, cheers to many more!

Attempting to stay present and enjoy every moment 🥰

🧀Currently dreaming of…

Parmigiano-Reggiano. We are returning to Emilia-Romagna later this month and I can’t wait!

I took this photo back in 2013 when we lived in Italy- and just looking at it I can still remember the smell of the room where the giant wheels of Parmigiano- Reggiano are stored while they age. 🥰

Counting down the days until I meet my high school BFF’s in Italy for our belated 50th b’day bash (bet you can’t guess what kept us from the original plan in 2020 🤪)

At this point, honestly who cares about celebrating turning 50? We are just thrilled to be able to travel again and celebrate life long friendship and share some of our favorite places & experiences with them.

This is most definitely my most epic Italy itinerary I’ve built yet- looking forward to every moment, sip and bite.

P.S.- who wins for biggest early 90’s hair? (Pic from 1992, after college, Helen’s wedding weekend. Still hunting for high school pics just for funsies.)

It's almost Olive Harvest time in Umbria- one of my favorite times of year in Italy.

If you are thinking a late fall trip to Italy sounds intriguing, here are some more reasons to seriously consider it! (especially if you )

-it's truffle season
-it's porcini season
-and most importantly- it's olio nuovo season!

The new oil is spicy, green & full of flavor. It's truly unlike any commercial olive oil you've ever tasted.

Combine all that deliciousness with colorful fields & vineyards, fewer crowds, sweater weather & the scent of burning wood lingering in the air.

Are you sold? Autumn is truly the most wonderful time of year in Italy. Let me know if you have any questions about trips to Italy in the fall.

🌞 Ciao & happy first day of summer!

🌈 Ok, pretend you're in Italy at a gelateria- what's your go-to order?

p.s. Mine is always pistacchio, with nocciolo (hazelnut) or coffee.

Starting Sunday June 12, it will no longer be required to have a negative covid test to re-enter the USA from international flights.

This is good news from a standpoint of not having to take the time to get tested while on your vacation.

Wondering how it will impact the covid spike that is already happening in parts of the USA right now?

Glad to read they will be re- evaluating in 90 days, everything is so ever changing with covid travel!

First full day in Italy and we loved every. little. thing. about it. 🥰

Exploring this new (to us) corner of Umbria feels like the biggest gift ever. Everything feels new and exciting and at the same time like we never left.
