Summer is just around the corner…which means it’s almost time for Adventure Days with my grandchildren. Since the day they were born, I’ve had them with me once a week during the summer months and for a few years now, we’ve put together a Summer Bucket List. It’s one of their most favorite things to do.

Every year we try to add one or two new ideas to our list and last year it was strawberry picking. We drove to Vermilion to pick fresh strawberries, then headed back to my house and made homemade jam. Rumor has it that their dad said it was the best jam he ever had 💕

Any ideas for what we should add to our list this year?

We’re all very excited that summer is just about here!

Week number two in paradise 🌴☀️💦

Good friends, good food, tons of sunshine, the Dalí Museum, warm salty breezes, last few days of boating and now…one more week all by ourselves 💕

〰️〰️〰️

So many of you have reached out to me over the years about the Cape Coral area of Florida. Where do we stay? What are the good restaurants? Well, after 5 years of vacationing here…I am FINALLY starting a blog on Monday to hopefully get launched before the end of the month. I have about 3 million photos to sift through first, lol.

(fun fact: I have 89,279 photos on my phone🤷🏻‍♀️)

Until then…pool day!

If you a frequent visitor at our coffee shop, you probably know one of my most favorite visitors…little Hudson 💙

He was born mere days before my youngest and I opened in Avon Lake and once he was old enough to have his first visit, he’s been in every single day since.

He’s truly like one of my grandchildren at this point and I love him so.

Today his dad texted me some pics of Huddy rocking his CLE hat back at home (10 more days here for me in Florida 🎉🎉🎉)

I mean, is he the cutest Cleveland Kid model ever??? And I love to see his hat review in the last picture 🥰

Toddler hats will be available at the coffee shop tomorrow. I have a blue trucker, a pink trucker, an oat relaxed twill, a purple relaxed twill and an orange relaxed twill.

And as always, you can grab one online at CC.

first week in paradise 🌸⚓️💦💕

family, boating, sipping, swimming, sunshine and good food…what more can a girl ask for?

It’s the most wonderful time of year!

Whenever I travel…I take in everything. The colors, the designs, the music, the menu, the tastes and sips, the environment…and my brain stores all of the unique things I see.

I am constantly inspired ✨

And although I am “away from work” my brain is always secretly working.

Whether I’m building a playlist while listening to music, finding a design I’m obsessed with, touching the coziest sweatshirt, choosing a toast for breakfast or a salad for lunch or walking around a new town and looking around…my brain is busy.

It’s just who I am.

Some people think I work too much, but the truth is…I just love working 💕

I think, for me, it’s not work…but a grand opportunity to be creative each and every day of my life.

My most favorite part of all of this is meeting new people. Today I am going to meet with a local potter here in Texas. It came up last night in conversation and today, while Brian is in a meeting, I’m going to make the drive and visit this studio. I can’t wait to hear their story, talk about our coffee shop and see what beautiful pieces we can create together!

24 hours in Waco, Texas looked a little like this - a little food, some drinks & a day of shopping…which is a perfect trip for me!

Brian had a work trip here, but when I heard it was in Waco, me and my friend Debbie said…we’re coming along too!!!

Today on my shopping spree, I found a little oval ironstone bowl that I knew I just had to have. The girls then told me that I was their very first purchase in this new store for them. I’ve ALWAYS loved supporting small businesses 🥰🥰🥰

One more day here!

Oh, and if you’re free Thursday night, I’ll be at the coffee shop for our Spring Pop-Up. Come see me! 4:30-8:30 pm

After several years, I finally got to start building my sticker wall. See any stickers you recognize? Any trips you were with me on?

It’s really not a sticker wall, but yet a celebration of life. A little scrapbook of memories 💕

Starting to wonder if I’m actually a Florida girl…

(the answer is yes)

A little visit this week with my oldest daughter Margaret and my grandchildren Mila and Dean. Today we are making the drive to Key West. Let me know if there’s anywhere special we should go!

☀️CAYMAN☀️

Five days away filled with sunshine, good food, a boat, a pool, a stingray, refreshing cocktails, crystal clear waters, salty breezes, a sandy beach and this gorgeous man.

Soul refueled…

I’m not a photographer, but I play one at dinner ✨

If you know me, you know I love getting out to eat good food and support local restaurants. Here are a few of my favorite photos from my favorite meals.

Recognize any of these dishes or places?
