Highly recommend her! It was so much fun and I am so in love with the results. </p><p>I thought today I would share some of my favorites. Looking at them makes me so excited for our daughter's arrival. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyUBWZ_kc8Qdt_riXZbQnHngxmCpngDRDia2qcWEaL_bVkADLx-UyFD0Y98DP6YPfi9m5HF1CaJ4ofUmKEGNs06bO0P5PB5J_qNUZ7mflquKelBEKrmPC3f0nwv6Aliv_InFterOX-JEE/s2048/Mark+%252B+Natalie+-+Maternity+54.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

My <a href="https://www.soteriabirthdoula.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Doula</a> and the midwife at the hospital told me that you never really know what to expect when giving birth because each body and baby are different. So, in addition to the reading I've been doing and the handful of videos I've watched the only thing left to do was write up some encouragement that I can read back to my self as I'm lying in the hospital bed. </p><p>I've been reading <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Week-Week-Pregnancy-Childbirth/dp/150114667X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2GD0VLAVJ0KRF&dchild=1&keywords=the+mama+natural+week-by-week+guide+to+pregnancy+and+childbirth&qid=1635874674&sprefix=the+mama+n%2Caps%2C100&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Mama Natural: Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth</a> by Genevieve Howland. My Doula sent me a few affirmations to use, and I also jotted down a couple from my pregnancy book. Finding something that can be an encouragement throughout the process gives me some peace as I await the big day. </p><p>If you're pregnant as well or you're going to be in the delivery room with a loved one as they give birth, creating your own list of affirmations can be really helpful! You can do a quick internet search and create a list yourself, or feel free to snag these ones that I've created as little cards that you can print out.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6umpumj9rxi716r/AACB6b3tzCKJuP885nVXm8h0a?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6umpumj9rxi716r/AACB6b3tzCKJuP885nVXm8h0a?dl=0" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="303" data-original-width="1080" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioBIrdddIdzR03pC0UOJ-CANHZZiRjYISX3FGiEm0CKTpWYSLQ-pjJ0nG4Ht5Hes_664aTkIsa23RJLBLEponBr5UqQJw2CS-tZDcpR_3p8xS-iy6GgQ5Dllp4jR0kYoeJYTragonkjiM/w400-h113/affirmations+button+copy.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p>If you have some affirmations you'd like to share with me or other readers, feel free to leave them in the comments below! </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667517639648855967.post-25917469717201531382021-10-09T07:20:00.004-04:002021-10-09T07:22:34.845-04:00Surprise: We're Expecting! <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgONjCDXH88Ei1-ij1lW2xyeM7FPVTEh3yL6OH2HndIaAvPA4F3bFy1I9VyQxRl2YSEIurH7NxN7f4aKTg8RU5zI8b5ALF45GvysKkTVxMqtias2W8_U_n16vJm5uu0fPJQI3Z5zNsQytM/s1600/hug-point-oregon-maternity-session-7.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="427" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgONjCDXH88Ei1-ij1lW2xyeM7FPVTEh3yL6OH2HndIaAvPA4F3bFy1I9VyQxRl2YSEIurH7NxN7f4aKTg8RU5zI8b5ALF45GvysKkTVxMqtias2W8_U_n16vJm5uu0fPJQI3Z5zNsQytM/w640-h427/hug-point-oregon-maternity-session-7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Recently, I mentioned in the last post all about how Mark and I are expecting a little girl this November. We are so excited! We shared it a few months ago on social media and are going to continue updating there, so be sure <a href="https://www.instagram.com/simplynatters/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">to follow</a>. I wanted to share some updates and thoughts/feelings about everything in today's post so if you're curious, feel free to read on. <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="768" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxTv3CO_3RgIRqaUxX241dPkO15LoAO7zf-eTx8itT-0nm63_mlDR1a4XY86ao3TT_-plCIy1JCowSNyc9OfYWTxdnoVMIbtqpg06zWgl84FQLy22_vo0WUXztdzUWsM6m9GpgntxPIuA/w320-h400/226239141_10219488884072327_1702150174436504713_n.jpg" width="320" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I suppose I'll share all about the discovery. It sort of happened all-of-a-sudden right after we talked about how, "Sure, if we got pregnant that would be ok. We can probably handle it in this stage of life." Then wouldn't you know, I found out I was a couple of weeks along. God's timing is so funny, sometimes! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When I told Mark, it was on the drive home after <a href="http://www.oakmosscollective.com/events" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Le Camp Retreat</a> and I had realized I was pretty late for my period so we stopped at a grocery store when we were in Indiana. I was just too anxious/excited to wait until we got back to Pennsylvania, so I took the test at a friend's house! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wouldn't you know, it was positive! It was also positive when I got home and took another one and then positive 3 weeks later when I took another test right before my first OBGYN appointment. I triple-checked because I did not want to be wrong. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXk12OI1SWrXX7lngC3WKRhJnLm1W1VJ0PJ-pt3rmExwx24sX9Dsc0B_5gQSvqTWMQn8F6nPOkzrPlcTU2-ka-BmKgmSBbYdA7wp9oUdu_PJwD6ZmqLqul0M7ari4oc6aIC_dZXqfE8f0/s2000/1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="2000" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXk12OI1SWrXX7lngC3WKRhJnLm1W1VJ0PJ-pt3rmExwx24sX9Dsc0B_5gQSvqTWMQn8F6nPOkzrPlcTU2-ka-BmKgmSBbYdA7wp9oUdu_PJwD6ZmqLqul0M7ari4oc6aIC_dZXqfE8f0/w640-h512/1.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Mark was so excited, and as the weeks went on we tried to think of different baby names and what kind of parents we would be. Knowing that the both of us were on the same page really gave me peace and for the first trimester and most of the second trimester, I was so relaxed and just counting down the days until we got to meet baby Gettis. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We decided to do the blood test a little earlier than our anatomy scan because we were so curious about the sex of the baby, and it's a girl! We have a name picked out but we aren't sharing publicly until she's here. The last little surprise. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Currently, I am 33 weeks. The doctors say that she is growing right on track and her scans and heartbeat all look great. We are so, so thankful that things are going well and God is showing her favor. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After the last year or two, this seems so right. We're starting a new chapter in our marriage and all the pieces seem to be falling into place. As someone who struggles with anxiety and depression, it can definitely feel a little strange to have so many things "going right." But I don't want to question it. I want to celebrate the little things and turn that joy into something that directs my focus back onto the goodness of God. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9SJt_T_a8AyRLwIGwqKItdP1OJ2J4ygktxZCewpNR2vGif9ZTGSgFWdY0y20L-w8LjXYuH7POYDVv8QjoGUMAvjdFfHI_byEK_J-Evlng-Wjr_47wISlp5gPOs5bYc2q2Sw0LrcLZL7M/s2000/2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="2000" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9SJt_T_a8AyRLwIGwqKItdP1OJ2J4ygktxZCewpNR2vGif9ZTGSgFWdY0y20L-w8LjXYuH7POYDVv8QjoGUMAvjdFfHI_byEK_J-Evlng-Wjr_47wISlp5gPOs5bYc2q2Sw0LrcLZL7M/w640-h512/2.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If you're interested, like I mentioned above, you can follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/simplynatters/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a> to stay up-to-date on all the pregnancy and baby things.

If you haven't heard yet, Mark and I are expecting a little girl in November! We are <i>so</i> excited. There will be a post all about the pregnancy soon, but for now, I want to share about our Eurovan camping experience on the California coast this summer.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Qa6QpUMHtQKdh-V4NCfj3ulrHVQT82KgAOdK1jIJEwTtx2h7cRmmuk9oEORyQ5Cm1Afdqcyhd5DerdFXXTOvKOAz8BoluzBl6-UHZ4Dij_ahJyDNPBsftILGMPdyX73v569YanAHTX8/s2048/California+2021-5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Qa6QpUMHtQKdh-V4NCfj3ulrHVQT82KgAOdK1jIJEwTtx2h7cRmmuk9oEORyQ5Cm1Afdqcyhd5DerdFXXTOvKOAz8BoluzBl6-UHZ4Dij_ahJyDNPBsftILGMPdyX73v569YanAHTX8/w640-h426/California+2021-5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>So for this post, I'm going to share about our trip and then at the end share a few things we learned that will definitely make next time we rent a camper van a little smoother. We started out the trip by figuring out where we wanted to go and how long it would take to get there from the van pick-up location. Easy enough! </p><p>We rented our van through <a href="https://www.outdoorsy.com/invite/natalieg587944/renter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Outdoorsy</a> from a company called Vintage Surfari Wagons. They have so many cool options to choose from if you like vintage VW busses like we do! After picking up the van, we grabbed some coffee and then hit the road. We drove north for several hours until we reached the midway point to Big Sur/Bixby Creek Bridge (our ending and then turnaround point). Here's where we made a mistake... we never booked a hookup/camping spot in advance. We thought we could just show up at a campsite and park because we weren't in a huge RV or anything like that. Boy, were we wrong. </p><p>After trying several places, panicking a little bit, even checking to see if we could park overnight at Walmart (we couldn't because the lot was a shared lot and the other business called the cops whenever anyone did that) we both just sort of fell into a pit of defeat. What the heck were we going to do??</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSmHj-gb9IntVGdgWiEqnERHDfp0nyMnrlgbRU6iOiYbKopdpxR0fs4HoPGAUnqUm3bsU03TAVsTy_tjRwnR3Cb9aUSw-UGQjuvsbmxSuqXDS7DvXrGnS1DItsCDe_7WV0DX-w01VfOM/s2048/California+2021-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSmHj-gb9IntVGdgWiEqnERHDfp0nyMnrlgbRU6iOiYbKopdpxR0fs4HoPGAUnqUm3bsU03TAVsTy_tjRwnR3Cb9aUSw-UGQjuvsbmxSuqXDS7DvXrGnS1DItsCDe_7WV0DX-w01VfOM/w640-h426/California+2021-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>Now, what we ended up doing I don't recommend. So, please learn from our mistake and reserve your campsite space a few weeks/months ahead of time. We found an Amtrack station and parked there for the night, leaving at the crack of dawn. We slept terribly, argued, and ate cold pizza for dinner. Like I said, learn from our mistakes.</p><p>The next day and night were much better! We drove up the CA coast and it was gorgeous. We stopped at some scenic overlooks, took lots of photos, ate at the same restaurant that Jack Kerouac historically ate at, and saw the ocean in all its west coast glory. We were a little disappointed to reach the bridge and see lots of orange cones and construction work happening... that does not make for an ideal photo. But, we made it work.</p><p><i>A little backstory</i>:</p><p><i>One of our favorite bands that we bonded over before we even started dating was Death Cab for Cutie. We would send each other different songs and get excited about new album releases and Mark even used some of their lyrics in his wedding vows to me! Big fans.</i></p><p>One of their songs is called Bixby Canyon Bridge, which I love. It's so poetic and eerily soothing. You can listen to it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mF7oq5HUw8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>. So there was definitely an emotional connection and built up hype around seeing the area that Jack Kerouac (beatnik writer) and Ben Gibbard of DCFC both referenced in such emotional ways. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcl5C3QsGALNzZaxfdsVG4ihScv_85_92AU06VqVIS_o8wUtC8URtiQq7eij7stFw8E77FugMumToiADGKo_ByQDC3XL0cDdRYicNmu5GxgBTMjfIcaqwKuyv-GyCuo2Fc00YDRua6qXc/s2048/California+2021-33.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcl5C3QsGALNzZaxfdsVG4ihScv_85_92AU06VqVIS_o8wUtC8URtiQq7eij7stFw8E77FugMumToiADGKo_ByQDC3XL0cDdRYicNmu5GxgBTMjfIcaqwKuyv-GyCuo2Fc00YDRua6qXc/w426-h640/California+2021-33.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><p>We get there. There is traffic and road work and it's loud and there are a bunch of tourists. I was a little disappointed, not going to lie. I guess we should've gotten there at the crack of dawn rather than late afternoon. But we tried to make the best of it! </p><p>We shared headphones and put the song on and just stood there staring at the bridge and the valley and the ocean. There were a few minutes where the annoyances all melted away and I thought, "Wow, I'm finally here. And I feel nothing." It was beautiful, don't get me wrong. But I didn't feel any type of inspiration or enlightenment or whatever I thought I would feel. Ironic because the song is about how he does the same exact thing. Goes to the bridge and expects all these amazing connections to the past and what Jack Kerouac wrote about but he feels nothing. It's just a bridge that got travelers where they needed to go. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO7uq3txucMXAZYl8uuftFpvIRQ8Lh2fp8Duh1mYzaagRSIJdEfwl2LkK_sHzEu9Tls522Iw4Qn4kGJITdPdGUq_xlH294Igt3HTdIT_4KhVqcBVtjVLS98rVht97Y0Vqn_zQcdFp4t2I/s2048/California+2021-26.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="427" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO7uq3txucMXAZYl8uuftFpvIRQ8Lh2fp8Duh1mYzaagRSIJdEfwl2LkK_sHzEu9Tls522Iw4Qn4kGJITdPdGUq_xlH294Igt3HTdIT_4KhVqcBVtjVLS98rVht97Y0Vqn_zQcdFp4t2I/w640-h427/California+2021-26.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>And that's ok. That's life sometimes. We romanticize places and moments, even though they're nothing that special. </p><p>When we left the bridge we got lunch at Nepanthe, a place that Jack Kerouac frequented when he was living in the area and writing one of his books. It was pretty good food, a little pricey but the views were incredible out on the deck where we sat. But again, no connection. Just a restaurant filled with people from LA or San Francisco looking for a little getaway on the coast. People with money to spend and fancy clothes and cars to show off. I definitely felt out of place because I got there looking for an artistic and emotional experience and it was just a nice day during our trip. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGF02Uqrj9ePWkkFBUo73am-h9PKV9vyyqwbx-wEkLliaUxMleV-aRAmrhkegRGN3ZOEr02en464FILlOLCiNoHZqDg46cQFKb78soTUFHbhRqaDSToRR12U-tz6-p1Nsa07-KYx9nB7k/s2048/California+2021-34.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGF02Uqrj9ePWkkFBUo73am-h9PKV9vyyqwbx-wEkLliaUxMleV-aRAmrhkegRGN3ZOEr02en464FILlOLCiNoHZqDg46cQFKb78soTUFHbhRqaDSToRR12U-tz6-p1Nsa07-KYx9nB7k/w426-h640/California+2021-34.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br />When we headed back towards our campsite for the evening, we laughed about how excited we got for something so simple. But I'm glad that I got to experience it with Mark. He's the best travel buddy.<p></p><p>For our last night, we thankfully had a campsite reservation. We stayed at Pacific Dunes Ranch. It was clean and family friendly and exactly what we needed after a long day of travel. PLUS there were amazing sand dunes adjacent to it that you could climb up. We watched the sunset from the top and I think that may have been my favorite part. </p><h3 style="text-align: left;">3 Tips For Camping in a Eurovan</h3><div>Now for the part I'm sure you've been waiting for. The reason you're reading this post. After some ups and downs and all arounds on our trip, here are 3 things to keep in mind when you rent a Eurovan to go camping.</div><div><br /></div><div>1. <i>Make campsite reservations or overnight accommodations.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>You do not want to be sleeping in a parking lot overnight. Its not the safest option and you could risk getting a ticket for trespassing or loitering. Each state and city has its own rules, so read up on them. Walmart usually allows 1 night stays for travelers in the parking lot but we learned that its only if they don't share a parking lot with a grouchy, "quick to call the police" neighboring store. </div><div><br /></div><div>When you have a reservation for the night it also gives you peace of mind because you can take a little time getting places and seeing the sights or hiking or whatever you're up to that day. You won't have to rush to find a place to camp before sundown. </div><div><br /></div><div>2. <i>Give yourself more time than you need.</i></div><div><br /></div><div>When you're in an area as gorgeous as the California coast, you'll want to make lots of stops. If you don't have a toilet onboard, you'll need to make bathroom stops. If you want to take a rest from driving during the day, you want to make sure you have enough time. Giving yourself a buffer of a few hours is so helpful because then you don't have to rush through the day. </div><div><br /></div><div>Plus a lot of national parks, coastal drives, and scenic routes have pull off points for pictures. You don't want to pass them all by because you decided to get on the road at 10 am instead of 8 am. Not to mention, what if you need to stop for gas or get a flat tire? Set yourself up for success.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. <i>Pack more than just your clothing. </i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>Yes, you obviously want to have the essentials. Clothing, toiletries, etc. BUT we found that having our own towels and a fitted sheet were super helpful because our van didn't have either. We could have added them at pick up, but for a cost. If you're able to bring your own pillow, I would as well. I wasn't able to fit mine in my luggage but thankfully I had a camping pillow that you can <a href="https://www.getcairn.com/products/stuffable-pillowcase-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">check out here</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div>We also recommend picking up some groceries (check the size of your fridge or cooler in the van) so you aren't always stopping at fast food spots and eating junk/spending money. Our van had a mini fridge so it was nice to be able to have fruit and oat milk and some eggs. </div><div><br /></div><div>The whole trip and experience overall were so much fun and we made so many fun memories. We definitely both agreed that we would need <i>at least</i> a week to enjoy more of the coast and maybe go a little inland to places like Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park or Los Padres National Forest. We also made a pit stop in San Luis Obispo to get some coffee at Scout Coffee Co. and it was great! I wish we would've had a little more time to walk around because it was a beautiful day.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhryWyv2PmQ2YA4pZ_Uvi6k8Dl768r33ihTEhiMPW2BPYqz0P9zo2Edgvf_d6_0uXN9xLeYM6dl55MysYMO6SlwxND1bhNxp6YGaOsVuryHx2Enn_wj-ro7w7tSDU3ofE4PzDlLFUuIg34/s2000/Untitled+design.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="2000" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhryWyv2PmQ2YA4pZ_Uvi6k8Dl768r33ihTEhiMPW2BPYqz0P9zo2Edgvf_d6_0uXN9xLeYM6dl55MysYMO6SlwxND1bhNxp6YGaOsVuryHx2Enn_wj-ro7w7tSDU3ofE4PzDlLFUuIg34/w640-h512/Untitled+design.png" width="640" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667517639648855967.post-41856413530932504932021-07-28T16:28:00.003-04:002021-07-28T16:28:33.382-04:00A Detour on Route 66<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Bpt-xEkagJzhulFCmapKXN_uI-1X8GoEQcSPGLxPaUdT3XzujxJIMfWpFAyYOfMrcPE6oFD2wxjBXXmrVAtCERVDyhwhQ9TbifVFdSRN3hZ3_Mw59oDe-wYyNG7GLvEiQ91PCQFqjc4/s2048/Roadtrip+Home-9.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Bpt-xEkagJzhulFCmapKXN_uI-1X8GoEQcSPGLxPaUdT3XzujxJIMfWpFAyYOfMrcPE6oFD2wxjBXXmrVAtCERVDyhwhQ9TbifVFdSRN3hZ3_Mw59oDe-wYyNG7GLvEiQ91PCQFqjc4/w640-h426/Roadtrip+Home-9.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div> A few months ago, Oakmoss Collective led its 3rd Le Camp Retreat in Hurricane, Utah. It was so amazing! I am working on that post and it should be up soon, but for now, I wanted to share a little bit about the cool things we got to see on our trip back to PA from UT. <p></p><p>Mark and I drove with our friend Matt and while it was quite a long drive ( hours to be exact) we had a fun time! We made stops along the way at places like Horseshoe Bend, part of old Route 66, and some great places for coffee and food. Have you ever been to parts of Route 66? It basically feels like a town stuck in time, waiting for something to come along and bring it to life again. I was all about it. The design of some buildings, the artwork, the vastness of it that seemed to just scream, "keep going! There is so much of the country to see!"</p><p>While I put the finishing touches on my Le Camp/Zion National Park posts I wanted to share some snapshots from our road trip.

<br /><div>I found this post in my drafts and started laughing. I created the post and title in 2019 and here we are, the second week of 2021. Little did I know that an entire YEAR of overwhelm awaited me. </div><div><br /></div><div>Its no secret to any of us, 2020 was bizarre and just... a lot. Think about it - <i>worldwide </i> we went through something terrible and it flowed into a line of more terrible and bizarre things. It felt like month after month we were slapped in the face with a new problem, change, fear, or uproar. And frankly I think a lot of us needed it. We needed to get ripped from our small little world and face bigger problems and experience empathy and fight for change and justice and just... wake up! </div><div><br /></div><div>But on the more personal side, the entire year of 2020 really overwhelmed me. It wasn't "the year" that did it to me but more so the feeling of uncertainty that just loomed throughout the whole thing. </div><div><br /></div><div>I started the year like every other: ready for something new and ready to tackle my goals and resolutions. Then about 2 months in (we all know how this story goes) we were in lockdown. An unexpected and unprepared-for lockdown. Thank GOD I had gotten a pack of toilet paper and gone grocery shopping the week before because with the shelves totally empty, I don't know what we would have done had I decided to skip the trip to the store. </div><div><br /></div><div>If I am being completely honest, I loved the first two weeks of lockdown because it meant Mark could work from home. We turned it into a little staycation of sorts... one where we sanitized our mail and laughed about the idea of having to wear masks when things opened back up. How ironic. </div><div><br /></div><div>Then after a month I was starting to see the negative impact that a shutdown was having on myself and my business. I missed my friends and family. The Finding Co. was going to have its biggest year yet and slowly clients were postponing and cancelling their weddings and events. We were starting to lose money and I felt like I couldn't do anything about it. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf-bjFKyTcsPktFWYNkFg3WhlguycD9EW5JEkiqtau433_ROg87EJFaGFYWlDKZo1mEmDwcBxZW1nLRJ-0lXE1u952XkidAxzZDZhcZ0jxMa44Em56mtOV0ks2ZwhfHHC0YuY76nEfgBg/s2048/Couch+Potato.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1883" data-original-width="2048" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf-bjFKyTcsPktFWYNkFg3WhlguycD9EW5JEkiqtau433_ROg87EJFaGFYWlDKZo1mEmDwcBxZW1nLRJ-0lXE1u952XkidAxzZDZhcZ0jxMa44Em56mtOV0ks2ZwhfHHC0YuY76nEfgBg/w400-h368/Couch+Potato.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Then one morning as I was praying for wisdom and inspiration on what to do with my businesses, I felt myself shutting down. My chest was getting tight and my thoughts were swirling into a big bunch of nothing in my head and I just got back in bed and slept for most of the day. Most of the week too, actually. I truly felt like, "whats the point? there are literally no answers or secure plans and things are changing every single day so whats the point in trying to make plans?" </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The original point of the post was to list some simple ways to tackle "overwhelm" and let me tell ya, I had no idea how overwhelmed a person could be until this year. Its one thing to be overwhelmed with school or work or deadlines. House work and running errands and accomplishing all the things on your to-do list can definitely be overwhelming, but there's something that we can <i>do</i> about all those things. </div><div><br /></div><div>This past year was a feeling of overwhelm that I had no idea what to do about. What "quick tip/trick" could I do to make this feeling go away?</div><div><br /></div><div>I think that over all this time and through everything we collectively endured this past year, I have one take away. Don't be so hard on yourself. </div><div><br /></div><div><i>Don't be so hard on yourself.</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Let yourself rest. Let yourself take a moment for yourself. Wait to answer that email and make sure you're eating well, getting fresh air, and drinking water. Lots of water. When you see your friends posting on social media and sharing all the "highlights" and all the things they're accomplishing don't start criticizing your own life and accomplishments of the past year. Give yourself grace. People only post the good stuff so when you compare yourself and all the naps and sweatpants and time spent inside to the one photo you see online (preaching to myself here) you're just setting yourself up for frustration. </div><div><br /></div><div>Its okay to do something for yourself. Its okay to get work done. Its okay to feel a little more tired than usual. Its okay to cry and hurt for the world. We've all been through something hard and confusing, and its tough to really know how to handle it. But take a moment and remind yourself that you're figuring it out. We all are. </div><div><br /></div><div>Breathe. Pray. Prioritize. Take care of yourself. Take care of your family and relationships. Take a break from scrolling on social media. Drink some water. Don't be so hard on yourself.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjupFlOBGFbVnpyvWPPMUneNxY4-sFln7q13FAXheqR2iUOS_nmFcZcMnZWz2LAY21xFJRYmHOPZ99Q89xD-gxlIwra2pIxMcTf1UOekAxj1RAXwlYxhJGdelvmSEr65zlxnov_czVlDPs/s1920/season+of+overwhelm.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjupFlOBGFbVnpyvWPPMUneNxY4-sFln7q13FAXheqR2iUOS_nmFcZcMnZWz2LAY21xFJRYmHOPZ99Q89xD-gxlIwra2pIxMcTf1UOekAxj1RAXwlYxhJGdelvmSEr65zlxnov_czVlDPs/w360-h640/season+of+overwhelm.png" width="360" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3Pennsylvania, USA41.2033216 -77.194524712.893087763821157 -112.3507747 69.513555436178848 -42.0382747tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667517639648855967.post-23142681088974683572020-09-03T07:21:00.005-04:002021-08-03T05:11:59.937-04:0027th Birthday Questionnaire<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLKSiViVAEe7l1l_Md6nMASCA16PM2GGfep9SKPId_69TBPAssaFCJT8Gu9UOc-E6D7y3TYEUJH8hMku7V1G3YnzN7pNVxXkN2fj-qy4FHhPbL3A47GvkRiruCoQiXBc8_BBqp7TV4wI4/s2048/8A3A3748.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLKSiViVAEe7l1l_Md6nMASCA16PM2GGfep9SKPId_69TBPAssaFCJT8Gu9UOc-E6D7y3TYEUJH8hMku7V1G3YnzN7pNVxXkN2fj-qy4FHhPbL3A47GvkRiruCoQiXBc8_BBqp7TV4wI4/w625-h416/8A3A3748.JPG" width="625" /></a></div>Alright friends, I know that my birthday was earlier this summer but I am <i>finally</i> getting this posted! With coronavirus and everything else happening in the world, I felt a little shutdown and haven't had much motivation to get anything on the blog recently. <span><a name='more'></a></span><div>I can't believe I am now technically in my 'late twenties.' So bizarre how fast time goes! </div><div>Without further ado, here are the questions a handful of you guys sent on Instagram for my birthday post along with my answers. Please let me know in the comments if you have any other questions, and be sure to follow me <a href="instagram.com/simplynatters" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">on Instagram</a> to stay connected!</div><div><br /></div><div>1. When did you start loving photography? </div><div><i>I've loved taking photos ever since middle school. I remember my first camera was a hot pink Nikon CoolPix and I would take all these artsy photos in my bedroom and with friends at school. In high school, I took a digital photography class and a black and white film class for electives. They both began my photography education and I am so glad that I decided to sign up for those classes! In college, I would have little photoshoots with my friends and I took another elective digital photography course and by 2014 I had my first paid gig. I just kept growing and practicing and shooting until finally, I started <a href="www.thefindingco.com" rel="nofollow">The Finding Co.</a> in 2019.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>2. When was the very 1st time you and Mark met? Can you remember the first impression?</div><div><i>I remember when Mark and his cousin, Zac, started going to my church. I met them in youth group and all the girls were fawning all over Zac because he looked like a Jonas Brother and they were really big then. I remember telling my friend that I thought Mark was super cute and we laughed it off. A year or two later we had become friends and would hang out after church and go to the mall or movies with our group of friends. I remember my first impression of him was that he was super nice and a "cool kid" because he was a musician (he played keys and guitar and occasionally sang in a band) and a very talented actor in his school.</i></div><div><br /></div><div>3. What was your favorite year in grade school/why?</div><div><i>I loved 4th and 5th grade because my teachers were great and I felt like I really excelled at my schoolwork and had a good group of friends. In 6th grade, I changed schools and remember having a hard time adjusting. I really liked senior year as well because I had some good friends and it was graduation year and my electives were really awesome.</i></div><div><br /></div><div>4. How many different hair shades have you had?</div><div><i>Oh man. Very many. I got highlights for my 13th birthday and there was no turning back! I just love trying new things and when I get bored/need a change I tend to go for my hair. I've had black, blue, red, a different shade of brown than my natural, purple, grey, and blonde.</i></div><div><br /></div><div>5. Favorite place you've ever traveled to?</div><div><i>This one is tough because there are great things about so many of the places I've been. I think if I have to choose it would be Paris. It's just so full of art and beauty. Yes, there are unappealing things that every city has but I've been twice and I would go a hundred times more!</i></div><div><br /></div><div>6. What is your biggest goal for your 27th trip around the sun?</div><div><i>My biggest goal for year 27 is to grow my photography skills as much as I can and travel as much as I can. I think I would also say to not be afraid of chasing an idea. Just go for things, ya know?</i></div><div><br /></div><div>7. How does a woman work through her own insecurities?</div><div><i>It can take time. There will always be something, I think. Especially if you expose yourself to a lot of media - it can be hard to not have physical insecurities because we see so many <u>altered</u>, "perfect" women online. I think the main thing to remember is that we all have a purpose here on earth and we're fearfully and wonderfully made. You were not a mistake. God has a plan for you! </i></div><div><i>On days when I feel my insecurities pretty heavily, I think about what I'm feeding myself with. Am I endlessly scrolling on Instagram and looking at fashion magazines and watching a lot of tv where the women are "perfect"? Maybe take a little break. It also helps me to write a list of things I like about myself and accomplishments I am proud of to remind myself that I don't need to be insecure or compare myself to anyone.</i></div><div><br /></div><div>8. What is your favorite meal?</div><div><i>I love desserts. Pie, eclairs, donuts. I'm a pastry kind of gal. Obviously, I try not to eat too much of them because *health* but if there were no calories and sugar wasn't bad for you I would eat pastries all day long. For a more realistic answer, I love cauliflower steaks when they're really well seasoned and I also love Asian food. Yum!</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgplawLu0QttmME2hC_oqdtP38iURfqpZTg-uWM4WNNvowE3uPLp6ZjDD0iALCns1WAq6BALamyHtOcYHgIodlbPu9rBbzA2Ok-s4oc5kNxO1Va8BUYRWPWH6wGNc9w4nJuSZjHlt3w9pM/s2048/_36A7005.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1366" height="781" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgplawLu0QttmME2hC_oqdtP38iURfqpZTg-uWM4WNNvowE3uPLp6ZjDD0iALCns1WAq6BALamyHtOcYHgIodlbPu9rBbzA2Ok-s4oc5kNxO1Va8BUYRWPWH6wGNc9w4nJuSZjHlt3w9pM/w520-h781/_36A7005.jpg" width="520" /></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div>9. Best vacation you've ever been on?</div><div><i>Traveling to Joshua Tree and Palm Springs with our friends <a href="https://www.atinytravelerblog.com/2018/09/palm-springs-travel-guide.html">Christian + Abby</a>. Oh, and Disney World. </i></div><div><br /></div><div>10. Do you plan on sticking around Harrisburg for a while?</div><div><i>We aren't sure yet. We've talked about the next few years and what they look like and while we don't have any plans to go anywhere just yet we have talked about traveling more and perhaps moving eventually. We really like Harrisburg, though!</i></div><div><br /></div><div>11. If you had a theme song play for you every time you walked into a room, what would it be?</div><div><i>This is a really interesting and tough question! Like, I've been thinking about it for a while, and because I love music so much it's really hard to decide. If it has to be an existing theme song then Friends, for sure. If not then I think the song I've related to the hardest is "Freaking Out on The Interstate" by Briston Maroney.</i></div><div><br /></div><div>12. Would you ever consider living somewhere other than Harrisburg?</div><div><i>Yes. We LOVE traveling and we have family in several different areas so I could see us moving eventually.</i></div><div><br /></div><div>13. What enneagram type is Mark and how has knowing your types helped your marriage?</div><div><i>Mark is a 3 (and we think his wing is a 4). Knowing his type has helped our relationship immensely. Communication between us has definitely changed for the better because I feel like I more fully understand the way he thinks about things and confronts problems or work. I highly recommend looking into it to help your communication not just between you and your spouse but your coworkers, friends, and family!</i></div><div><br /></div><div>14. What are certain things you do every single day?</div><div><i>I drink coffee every day. When I don't it's rough. I also check social media every day and think about some sort of content creation. I would say I probably also create something, in general, every day. Oh and sing. I sing to my husband, my cats, myself. Always singing haha!</i></div><div><br /></div><div>15. Favorite movies?</div><div><i>Walk the Line, Life Aquatic, Pretty In Pink, Fly Away Home, Anne of Green Gables, Star Wars (original trilogy), The Dark Knight, Jumanji, and Batteries Not Included.</i></div><div><br /></div><div>16. Favorite smells?</div><div><i>Pumpkin spice, pine tree, fresh laundry, cookies in the oven, my husband's cologne, my mom's house.</i></div><div><br /></div><div>17. As an enneagram 4, I know that I can get down in a mental spiral quickly... what things send you spiraling down and that pick you back up?</div><div><i>I think I start to spiral if I spend too much time remembering how things were and wishing it was that way again.

Try as I might, there wasn't really anything over the last couple of months that I felt like I could control (and that affected me physically because I am such an emotional eater). One day I realized that there was something I could control and that was how I spent my time. Did I really want to be spending endless hours scrolling through twitter and instagram? Was it smart to put myself in a place where I got so emotional that all I could think to do was snack in front of the tv? No. So I decided it was time to flip my way of thinking. Yes, eating was something I could control, but instead of doing so mindlessly I wanted to make it a priority to eat healthful foods and spend free time doing more than napping and watching tv.</div><div><div><br /></div><div>I discovered <a href="https://bit.ly/SCatinytraveler" target="_blank">Superfood Tabs</a> in the nick of time!

<a name='more'></a>If you have social media, watch the news, listen to the radio, or read the newspaper then you know whats going on in the world at the moment; the coronavirus (or COVID-19) outbreak. Its definitely something that has cause for concern and is literally impacting every American in some type of way. One of those ways that its impacting us is the state of emergency we're in. We've all been asked to practice social distancing; staying in our homes, gathering no more than 10 people to a place, only going to grocery stores/the bank/gas stations if we absolutely need to. Malls and retail shops are closed. Restaurants and coffee shops have very limited hours and offer to-go orders only. Some states even have a curfew! This is insane.<br />
<br />
I don't want this whole post to be dedicated to the fear and effects of COVID-19, however I want to make some lemonade with these lemons! The government is <i>really </i>encouraging people not to travel during all of this, mostly because they don't want to virus to spread to others. Even if you're not showing symptoms you could be carrying it and then traveling around with those infectious germs and that's not cool.<br />
<br />
SO how can you scratch the travel itch when you're essentially on lock-down? Let's explore the options, shall we?<br />
<br />
<b>Travel Channel + Movies</b><br />
<br />
- The Secret Life of Walter Mitty<br />
- Eat, Pray, Love<br />
- Under the Tuscan Sun<br />
- Midnight in Paris<br />
- Amelie<br />
- Wild<br />
<br />
<b>Reminisce on Past Travels</b><br />
<br />
I love doing this! Usually its with digital photos and old posts but whenever I've had the chance to print photos, I'll go through them and sometimes get a scrapbook started. It fills me with happy + fond memories as well as gets me excited for future trips! Check out some photos from our recent trips:<br />

<b>Pinterest, Google, Travel Apps</b><br />
<br />
I love looking at where other people have traveled, the tips they share, the pictures they take, and creating travel guide books on apps like TripScout and Locals Lore. Just because you aren't traveling now doesn't mean you can't plan a trip for the future! Get started early!<br />
<br />
<b>Start a Youtube Channel</b><br />
<br />
You could always create some videos from past trips or some informational videos about how to travel solo, what foods to try in different states/countries, etc. and share them to youtube. I'm sure with people all being home from school and work these next couple of days you'll have a much larger audience! :)<br />
<br />
<b>Go for a walk</b><br />
<br />
If you really need to get outside, walk a few blocks or go for a solo hike. I've heard that some states have a curfew and in some other countries you're literally not allowed to leave your house so please be mindful of those rules. If you are allowed outside however, stretch those legs! I went for two separate walks this week and they completely changed my attitude towards being stuck inside. I got fresh air, stretched my legs, and took a few photos (which I will be sharing on <a href="http://thefindingco.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Finding Co.</a>'s blog).<br />
<br />
Overall, don't panic, don't ignore your state and national health guidelines, and don't limit your daydreaming. Be safe, wash your hands, and call your mom :)<br />

I am so excited to share a few photos and a recap of the Le Camp Retreat hosted by <a href="http://www.oakmosscollective.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Oakmoss Collective</a> and Winsome Floral this past fall.<br />
<a name='more'></a>This past November I had such a cool opportunity to co-lead the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/le_camp_retreat/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Le Camp Retreat</a> in Paris, France. We spent a couple days with 5 other ladies where we talked all about creativity, community, self care, and small business growth/ownership. It was so much fun and at our final dinner we all sat around the table talking about how much we'd learned, reminiscing on the sights of the city, and celebrated the friendships we'd all made.<br />

There was so much to see and do in the city, and with our trip's agenda it was hard to do much extra. The extra things we did get to do, however, were a ton of fun! Dinners, shopping, and walks along the Seine were so lovely. I loved getting to teach some breakout sessions and learn from my co-leader Courtney during her breakout sessions too! I can't wait for this summer when we get to travel to <a href="http://www.oakmosscollective.com/greece-retreat" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Greece</a> for the second Le Camp Retreat.<br />

A few weeks ago, Mark and I got the opportunity to experience a new pop-up called Happy Place in the <a href="https://www.simon.com/mall/king-of-prussia/stores/happy-place" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">King of Prussia</a> mall near Philly. I invited my younger brother and sister too. We had so much fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Happy Place is an immersive and interactive pop-up that focuses on making you happy! From cookies and gummy bears to slides and big noodles and confetti - the goal is to leave with a smile. I took a whole bunch of photos (because its totally IG-able) to share with you, so keep scrolling! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<a name='more'></a>Back in August, I went to Buffalo to visit my friend Britney and had such a great time! We hit up several great restaurants, coffee shops, and tourism spots that I can't wait to share with you. The trip started with me picking up my friend Abby in Pittsburgh and then heading up north. We stayed with Brit and her husband in their cute little home just outside of Buffalo and spent a few days seeing the sites and getting the grand tour our their favorite little city!<br />

The first place we ate at was called <a href="https://www.eatatbedrock.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bedrock</a>. We actually ended up eating there twice! I got a buffalo tofu sandwich and french fries with their house-made spicy ketchup. We all couldn't stop eating the fries with the ketchup because it was so good!<br />

One of the days we walked around the city of Buffalo and checked out some cool places like an arcade, coffee shops, murals, etc. After we walked around for a bit, we went to the top of the city hall building and could see the whole city. It was really cool!<br />

<a name='more'></a>Hey friends! Its been a bit since I've added some new content to the blog. Today I am really excited to share this post because its all about our home style and decor. I love taking time to make our place a home and reflective of us, that's why I was so excited to work with <a href="http://shop.touchofcolorflooring.com/products/bohemian-405j-rug" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Touch of Color Flooring</a> for our living room refresh.<br />
<br />
After giving the apartment a deep clean, we hung up some new artwork and framed photos, added a new throw pillow, put a new combination of oils in the diffuser, and swapped out our old rug for this new one from Touch of Color! We love how it ties all the colors in the room together.<br />
<br />
They have such a wide variety to choose from, and in a handful of sizes - perfect for any room! Aside from the pattern and colors of our new rug, one thing I noticed is that the fibers are very soft. Definitely one the kitties enjoy as well ;)<br />
<br />
Use the code Bohemian1 to take 25% off of your order on a <a href="https://shop.touchofcolorflooring.com/products/bohemian-405j-rug" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">rug of your own</a> from now until September 30th. That's like, a really great deal so don't miss out!<br />

<a name='more'></a>A few weeks ago, Mark and I went to Michigan with our friends Andrew and Shelby for the week. Why Michigan you ask? Andrew and Shelby moved to PA a few years ago for work from their hometowns in Michigan and this summer they wanted to show us where they grew up. It was such a fun little trip and I can't wait to share all my favorite spots and things to do in where they took us!<br />
<br />
Like most of my travel guides, I'm going to divide this travel guide into sections, but instead of "coffee" "restaurants" etc. it will be divided by town. There are several different towns where these recommendations are located, so be sure to plan your trip accordingly.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Detroit-</span><br />
We visited 8 different cities and Detroit was definitely the biggest! I plan to do a specific travel guide for Detroit after I visit one or two more times and can get a better feel of everything, but for now here are the spots we visited this summer!<br />
<ul>
<li> Royale with Cheese - Pulp Fiction themed fast food place</li>
<li>The Great Lakes Coffee Company - good coffee, drinks, and a space to get some work done during the day!</li>
<li>Sister Pie - one of my favorite spots on the whole trip. Like, the most delicious vegan pie I've ever had!</li>
<li>Third Man Records - great spot to see records being pressed. Such a cool process!</li>
<li>City Bird - cute shopping spot</li>
<li>Nest - cute shopping spot</li>
<li>Shinola - shopping; a luxury design brand</li>
<li>Jolly Pumpkin - Brussels Sprout Pizza!! Visit on trivia night :)</li>
<li>Astro Coffee</li>
<li>Gold Cash Gold - cute little restaurant</li>
<li>Belle Isle</li>
</ul>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ferndale-</span><br />
<br />
This town was the absolute cutest! If you consider yourself artsy, "hipster," funky, millennial, or all of the above then this place is for you. We walked around this town on two separate days because there was that much to check out and restaurants to try. Here are a few of our favorites:<br />
<ul>
<li>Imperial</li>
<li>Red Hook Bakery (and yummy coffee)</li>
<li>Union Barber (Mark got a super cool haircut here)</li>
<li>Toast (a <b>great </b>brunch spot)</li>
<li>Rust Belt (a great market of makers and shops)</li>
<li>One Eyed Betty's (GREAT breakfast!)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Royal Oak-</span><br />
<br />
We didn't spend a ton of time in Royal Oak, but that's not to say we didn't have a good time visiting some of Andrew and Shelby's recommendations. I would definitely go back and check out a few more things, or even spend more time in some of these spots:<br />
<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Atomic Coffee</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Lost & Found Vintage (so many great items!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">UHF (record store)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Rail & Anchor</span> </li>
</ul>

Southeastern Michigan is really an area filled with artwork, creativity, and innovation. While there were a lot of industrial areas and areas that have been hit hard by poverty, it was fun to explore the areas that are up and coming. I also loved being able to see different parts of the cities and have them on my heart, both in prayer and in lovely memories! </div>

A few weeks ago, my friend Danielle and I had the opportunity to kick off the summer with a little camping getaway. It was seriously the best way to embrace the new season! We decided to stay at Pine Ridge Campground in their wonderful tiny home and it was so pleasant. The other campers on site were also really friendly and welcoming which was a great way to start our trip.<br />

After our first cozy night in, we went on a hike for a few hours on the Appalachian Trail. We met a couple of hikers and heard their crazy stories. Some hiked all the way up from Georgia and planned to reach the end of the trail by summer's end. So cool!<br />

Having a combination of the great outdoors, camping, and a roof/AC was amazing! I love being outside, but to be honest I am not a huge fan of summer because of the humidity and sweating from being hot. No thanks! So, having a spot with AC to come back to after a hike was nice. We also loved that we could roast marshmallows by the campfire and cook our dinner outside too.<br />
<br />
If you're in Eastern/Central PA looking for somewhere to camp, I highly recommend Pine Ridge Campground. The location is great, the hospitality is refreshing, and you'll have a relaxing + unique vacation experience :)</div>

<a name='more'></a>Whenever I travel, I try to make sure that I pack the essentials - sometimes this means overpacking my toiletries bag. I never can be sure what hair products I'll need or if traveling will leave my skin tired or flushed or something. So, I end up packing everything and then I only use two or three things!<br />
<br />
In the last couple of weeks I've found some face washes and serums that have really done the job for my skin when I'm traveling. Driving for long periods of time, flying, getting little sleep or sleeping on a different pillowcase- all of those things can affect your skin. Breakouts, dry skin, oily skin, red spots.... no thank you!<br />
<br />
Today I wanted to share with you a couple of my favorite serums that have worked wonders for me while traveling. Hopefully they'll work for you too!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqZW9NGMOfvY_U17l6xnf3Ql-dobPUb-NvS2CFcpuced37L7N2i1JeJZH0uMUMYFPZLL-m-SZLBrXsi-Ro-as3mVkDKI7DacD1lgE9b2mfPaaFIpKrx8LKH5vIqUbVeXCQnmdWWgm7Zzw/s1600/NatalieGettis10.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqZW9NGMOfvY_U17l6xnf3Ql-dobPUb-NvS2CFcpuced37L7N2i1JeJZH0uMUMYFPZLL-m-SZLBrXsi-Ro-as3mVkDKI7DacD1lgE9b2mfPaaFIpKrx8LKH5vIqUbVeXCQnmdWWgm7Zzw/s640/NatalieGettis10.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The first serum that I've fallen in love with is from Yeouth. Its a <a href="https://yeouth.com/products/glycolic-acid-face-peel-30" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">glycolic acid gel peel</a> and I use it about once every two weeks, and if I'm traveling during that time I make sure that I have sunscreen/lotion with me too so my skin can stay soothed afterwards. Its definitely a heavy duty facial serum. Its exfoliating, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory too!<br />
<br />
One thing that I especially love about it is that it fights black heads and wrinkles as it boosts skin collagen, which is perfect when your skin looks a little tired from traveling. My friend Jeanette gave me a code to share with A Tiny Traveler readers (yay!!) to save 20% off your own bottle of this great gel peel! Just use the code SOCIAL20.<br />
<br />
The next one isn't necessarily a serum, but more of a hydrating and cooling spray. I've been using this <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_2nUIFIjj/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">rosewater spray</a> from Eve Hansen Beauty for the last few months and now I feel like its become part of my everyday routine. When traveling it is so soothing, especially after a flight!<br />
<br />
The third serum/skincare item that I've been taking with me everywhere is my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/664066890620115/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rejuveniqe Oil</a> from Monat. I've shared about this before on A Tiny Traveler because I just love it so much. I use it in my hair after a wash and occasionally I use it for an oil treatment, but lately I've been putting a drop or two in my moisturizer and its been keeping my face so soft and bright looking! I love it!<br />
<br />

Last week, Mark and I did one of the craziest things we've ever done. We traveled from PA to Orlando, FL for 2 days just to visit Disney on a whim! It. Was. So. Fun.<br />
<a name='more'></a>A handful of family and friends definitely marveled at our spontaneity and somewhat craziness. I'll admit, I can't wait to tell our future kids about how "Mommy and Daddy woke up one morning and decided to go to Disney!" It was a fun little trip that I'll always remember.<br />
<br />
So I bet you're wondering how we flew from PA to FL, got a nice hotel room for 2 nights, and had park passes for a day all for under $500. I would be curious myself! Today I wanted to share some photos from our trip and share our money saving tips with you, so buckle in.<br />

Alright, so first things first- the flights. We found really cheap flights on an airline called Allegiant. It flies through a small airport in Harrisburg. So what you'll want to do to find cheap flies is comparison shop, search smaller airports, read reviews, and choose your flight accordingly! Especially in the summertime, airlines have all kinds of deals.<br />
<br />
Next, you'll want to find an inexpensive hotel room. Airbnb is always a great option, but Mark and I wanted to stay somewhere near the park that included breakfast and a shuttle to the Ticket + Transportation Center in Disney (again to save on costs). We turned to<a href="https://www.atinytravelerblog.com/2019/04/tips-for-traveling-solo.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> RoomKey</a>, our favorite site to find nice, but cheap, hotels! We found a room with a King bed (woohoo!) and booked right away.<br />

Our friend Lindsay works at Disney and if you don't already know this, employees have the opportunity to bring guests into the park for free! We were so blessed to have been able to get tickets from her. I know, you're probably thinking, "that's cheating!" but hey, its how we did it. </div>

The total for 2 roundtrip flights from PA to Orlando and a two night stay in our hotel cost around $400. Which for last minute travel is a really great deal. Then we got an uber to and from the airport which brought our total to about $500! </div>

The park tickets that we were given actually ended up being park hopper passes, so we could enjoy Magic Kingdom like we planned and then stop by the new Toy Story land in Hollywood Studios and then finish the evening at Epcot's International Flower and Garden Festival! It was such a fun day. Tiring, but so fun.</div>

How will I get there, how long will I stay, is my hotel in a safe neighborhood, are there things to do/see within walking distance, is this trip going to be expensive or thrifty? The list goes on! It’s important to ask yourself these questions when planning a trip, especially if it’s one you'll be taking solo.</span></span></div>

That part is up to you. The reason being is because I feel like you learn so much about what you're capable of when you're traveling solo and you also get to take a step back and relax and disconnect from everyday stress.

They recently went through a total rebrand, which I love and really recommend checking out for yourself! I feel like whenever I am searching for a rental or hotel room when Mark and I travel anywhere, it takes forever or ends up being the biggest cost. As I began to do my research and take notes, I realized that Roomkey truly was the best way to get things done! For my trip, I traveled to Beacon, NY and stayed at the </span><a href="https://www.roomkey.com/hotels/fe51a0f594944d4ab705a8dd?utm_source=influencer&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=a_tiny_traveler&referral[channel]=influencer&referral[partner]=atinytraveler&referral[intent]=blog" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="-webkit-text-decoration-skip: none; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Roundhouse Hotel</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

Something I've learned over my different travels is that overpacking can totally ruin a trip. You don't want to be lugging a huge suitcase up flights of stairs in case the elevator is out of order. You don't want to have to sit on your suitcase to zip it shut and end up being late for your flight. Just something to think about :) In addition, I highly recommend making sure you either pack a camera or have enough space to take photos on your phone in case you see something cool or want to remember your trip!</span></span></div>

Always make sure that you know where you're going, someone knows where you've traveled to and when you're going out/return back to your hotel like a friend, parent, or significant other, and that you don't be stupid. I see young women all the time trying to be "polite" or "friendly" to strangers on a train or while waiting for their table at the bar, etc. and give out info that is WAY too personal for them to be sharing with a stranger. Just be smart and safe!</span></span></div>

<a name='more'></a>A few weekends ago Mark and I spent a night in Beacon, NY and had such a lovely time! There were so many cute shops and there was so much to do for art lovers and nature lovers alike. I wish we could have stayed one more day because I feel like we didn't get to check everything out. What we <i>did </i>get to see, however, is definitely worth sharing.<br />

So first thing is first. COFFEE! You know that Mark and I like our coffee and coffee roasters when we travel. Finding a new roaster or coffee shop is so much fun when you're in a new town, especially if you have a love for fresh coffee. The hotel room had a keurig (bleh) so we knew we needed to find a place that could get us some good coffee, and that's where Trax came in!<br />

The part of Beacon that we stayed in only had one roaster, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/traxcoffeeroasters/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Trax Espresso</a>. We ended up visiting twice and it was great! Their atmosphere was very ;aid back and warm and we felt right at home. Locals came for meetings and to get work done and visitors asked questions about the menu and enjoyed their caffeinated treats. Definitely a spot we both loved.<br />

We also visited a few other spots that sold coffee like Bank Square Coffeehouse and <a href="https://www.ellasbellasbeacon.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ella's Bellas</a>, as well as some restaurants. Ella's Bellas is the next spot on the list! They are a gluten free bakery that also offers lunch options and some vegan treats as well. Mark got a GF sticky bun and I got a GF vegan chocolate chip coconut muffin. It was insanely delicious.<br />

One thing we weren't expecting was how artsy the town of Beacon is! There are a handful of art galleries, museums, art + music centers, boutiques, and a cultural center. We loved a shop called Artifact. It was filled with handmade jewelry and pottery, as well as organic perfumes and some clothing/home goods. There was also one spot called Loopy Mango, a yarn store that also had workshops for knitters. It was so cute!<br />
<br />
We also loved Dia:Beacon, a really cool modern art museum. Keep scrolling to see some really awesome exhibits and photos that we took.<br />

For the finale of this post, let's talk restaurants. There were so many different spots to eat in Beacon. We had dinner at Melzingah Tap house. While a touch overpriced, it was delicious! Other places that have great reviews and are worth checking out are Homespun Foods, Beacon Natural Market, and Isamu. Simply walking around Main Street will give you some great finds as well!<br />

<a name='more'></a>A few weeks ago, Mark and I went to NYC for the weekend to celebrate his 26th birthday. We had so much fun! Usually when we travel, we try to hit up as many coffee shops as we can to find new roasters and shops we like but this time Mark decided for his birthday he wanted to try as many pizzerias as we could!<br />
<br />
It was actually really fun. We tried so many types of crust, toppings, and styles of pizza. There is so much pizza in NYC, so we only were able to try 6 places before we had reached our limit for the weekend! I'll be honest though, out of 6 places we tried, I only really liked 2.<br />
<br />
Today, I want to share the places we stopped by, our thoughts and ratings, and what we deemed "the best" on our little NYC Pizza Tour. Unfortunately we forgot to take photos at each stop, so you'll have to just imagine what it looked like ;)<br />
<br />
Up first, 99¢ Slice. This stop wasn't originally on our list but Mark was hungry when we got to the city so we made a quick pit stop. Here are our ratings:<br />
<br />
Overall: 8/10 "a classic New York slice"<br />
Worth the price? Yes!<br />
Sauce/Cheese/Crust(out of 5): 5/5/4<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/cheskas-new-york-3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cheska's</a> is definitely a stop you'll want to make if you're low-carb or GF. Their crust is all cauliflower crust, which we thought was cool and worth a try! Unfortunately it wasn't really our favorite.<br />
Overall: 5/10<br />
Worth the price? No...a little over priced for our liking ($12 for 1 piece)<br />
Sauce/Cheese/Crust(out of 5): 1/3/3<br />
<br />
The Bodega at Arlo Hotel was a lifesaver for late night cravings! We actually really liked being able to walk downstairs and get two slices of crispy, cheesy pizza.<br />
Overall: 7.5/10<br />
Worth the price? Yes, although we had vouchers for a free slice, so we're bias ;)<br />
Sauce/Cheese/Crust(out of 5): 3/5/5<br />
<br />

<br />
Artichoke Basille's is a stop that many people recommended we make. We are so glad we did because not only did we enjoy the classic slice, but their spinach artichoke slice was incredible! Definitely not what you think of when you're craving pizza, but as a dish itself we loved it.<br />
Overall: 8/10<br />
Worth the prize? Yes, but definitely not a 99¢ slice<br />
Sauce/Cheese/Crust(out of 5) for Artichoke: 4/3/5<br />
Sauce/Cheese/Crust for traditional slice: 2/4/4<br />
<br />

<br />
Prince Street Pizza is a place that you definitely want to hit if you have time. Their walls are lined with framed photos of celebrities and big names who've made a stop. It was pretty cool! The line however goes down the street. We waited for about 30 minutes in line and then another 5-10 minutes for our order because the pies weren't ready when we ordered. We were also there on a Saturday so that could have had something to do with it!<br />
Overall: 8.5/10<br />
Worth the price? Yes. (Mark also wants me to note that this was his favorite and it was definitely worth the wait!)<br />
Sauce/Cheese/Crust(out of 5): 4/5/5<br />

As the season of winter comes to a close, I never really know what to wear while I transition my wardrobe. I'm not really a cardigan person (I have a few but haven't worn them much) so especially on the days when I know it will be more chilly I want something warm enough but not too warm. Anyone else know what I mean? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These two sweaters are ones that I LOVE and will definitely be perfect additions to my transitional closet. I found them when I had a free trial of Rent the Runway and decided to find ones just like them to keep for myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first top is a light sweater material, so its warm but not going to make me sweat by the afternoon. I love the colors and bell sleeves because they give me a 70's vibe. I've been loving that style lately and I especially love the hint of sparkle in the orange stripe.</div>

The next sweater that is oh-so-cozy for this time of year (and in the autumn too) is this orange sweater with white stripe detail. The material is not only comfortable and soft, but a little oversized so it leaves room to breathe. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love how it pairs with light wash denim and you can either wear it with a light jacket or as is. I've found so many more sweaters and tops like these at places like Target, Forever 21, Old Navy, and Zara! Definitely pieces you'll want in your transitional season.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">This post is sponsored by Tommy John. All opinions and words are my own.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a>With the start of the new year, I've been trying my hardest to get some healthy new habits started! I feel like I've been doing pretty well too, and I wanted to share some of them here on A Tiny Traveler in hopes of inspiring and encouraging you to start some new habits for yourself.<br />
<br />
Especially with Daylight Savings this weekend, its important to make sure you have a good sleep schedule set in place. I had gotten into the habit of going to bed at 1am and waking up around 9:30/10am, feeling sluggish and unproductive for most of the day. Then I would have my "morning" coffee around 11 and be wired and stay up late again, continuing the cycle. I know for everyone its different. Some people get a burst of motivation or energy late at night and others are morning people, but for me I'm somewhere in the middle. So I decided to start making sure I go to bed earlier so that way I can wake up earlier!<br />
<br />

<br />
I noticed that when I start my day around 7:30 or 8 I am <i>much</i> more productive and go to bed that night feeling like I accomplished something. I started a new medication a few weeks ago that has been making me wake up around 5:30am which was annoying at first but I've gotten SO much done so I started enjoying it, especially when I'm in bed by 10.<br />
<br />
When you have a healthy sleep schedule set, the rest will start to fall into place when establishing your morning routine. Starting my day in God's Word gives me such a positive feel for the day. Then a shower wakes my body up. I also love green smoothies, and with more time in the morning now I can start my day with them! Drinking or eating something with lots of vitamins and nutrients at the start of the day (rather than a bowl of sugary cereal) will give you a burst of energy to get going.<br />

If you work from home like me, setting work times is also really helpful! I try to make sure that I get started on a project, answer emails, or edit photos right away because if I don't I might fall into the trap of turning Netflix on or mindless start organizing (and while neither of those things is bad, it can be a big distraction when you have things to get done for work). Some days when I know I need to limit distractions, I'll go a few blocks down the street to my favorite coffee shop to get work done. Limiting distractions maximizes productivity!<br />
<br />
Another thing that I realized really helps me get going is doing my hair and makeup. I feel like it wakes me up and makes me feel like a professional, rather than a couch potato. Some days, getting completely dressed will help me focus, and other days changing into athleisure or a great pair of joggers will keep me comfortable but get me out of my pj's. Currently, I've been wearing these super soft joggers from <a href="https://tommyjohn.com/" target="_blank">Tommy John</a>. I <i>love </i>them! They come is a whole bunch of different colors, but I chose the color "winetasting." Seriously, so cozy.<br />

<br />
So far these little changes have really been helping my morning routine get me started on the right foot. Getting enough sleep, creating a work schedule for myself, eating something healthy in the morning, spending time reading my Bible or a devotional, and making sure whatever I wear gets me out of my pj's - the perfect morning routine for me! Maybe yours will look like this, or maybe you have kids or a pet you need to take care of or a job you need to get to. In any case, finding ways to make sure you're getting sleep and eating right are two steps that will help <i>any</i> schedule flow better.<br />
Share your morning routine with me in the comments!<br />

<a name='more'></a>This past weekend, Mark and I spent a few days in Manhattan to celebrate his twenty-sixth birthday. We had such a nice time! Seriously, we needed to get away for a little and just have a fun married weekend. One of our favorite places to go is Brooklyn, for so many reasons.<br />
<br />
The first time we went, we were in college and ventured into the city sort of by mistake with Mark's family and ended up eating at a restaurant and having a lovely time. The next year, Mark and I broke off from his family during their yearly trip to explore more of Brooklyn on our own. From then on, each year Mark and I would make it a point to spend a day or two in Brooklyn exploring and trying new coffee shops and restaurants. We fell in love with the architecture of the buildings, the more laid back feel compared to the tourist-y areas of Manhattan, and all the cool spots to take photos or grab a bite to eat. In December 2014, Mark proposed in Dumbo and it made the city even more special to us.<br />
<br />
This year for his birthday, Mark proposed that instead of Brooklyn we should start exploring more of New York City. I loved the idea because while familiar, it still felt like a new adventure! We had such an incredible time because we gave our self a loose schedule with enough time left to explore.<br />

For this particular blog post, I've decided that I just want to share our little travel diary and then later this week I can share more tips and tricks to traveling in the big apple :)<br />
<br />
We started the weekend out by riding the train in to the city. I don't think we'll ever want to travel another way. It was soooo stress-free because we didn't need to worry about driving, parking, parking fees, the security of our vehicle, etc. We just bought train tickets and hopped aboard!<br />

We ended up getting there a little earlier than we planned so we checked in to our hotel to drop off our bags and then headed over to Russ + Daughter's Deli. One thing you should know about Mark and I is we've recently really fallen in love with Jewish Deli foods. Haha! Its so random but bagels and cream cheese and capers and lox and matzo ball soup... YES PLEASE. It was about a 15 minute walk from the hotel, which isn't too bad for the city. I think we must have walked at least 20 miles over the span of three days! We didn't want to spend all our money on cabs or the subway (which we did use a little bit on Sunday).<br />
<br />
After Russ & Daughter's we began our "pizza tour" of Manhattan. There will <i>never</i> be enough time to try ever single pizzeria in NYC, so we didn't have a set goal other than "lets eat a lot of pizza and try to find some of the best!" There's an app called One Bite that was helpful too. I plan to share those results both on Instagram and in a blog post later this week.<br />
<br />
On our walk back to the hotel, we stopped by Cha Cha Matcha and I had the best drink I think I've ever had...ever. It was so delicious! If you've ever been there before, you may have had this drink before- The Purple Drink with a shot of matcha. The Purple Drink is a combination of lavender syrup, cbd oil, and macadamia nut milk. I love how things like matcha, cbd oil, turmeric, and ashwagandha are gaining in popularity.<br />
<br />
After that we headed back to the hotel and played some games in the lounge and watched a movie until we fell asleep around 10pm. It. Was. The. Best. Our hotel, Arlo Nomad had such incredible views. We were in a corner room that was across from the Empire State Building and it felt like we literally were on cloud 9. Such a cool experience!<br />

On Saturday, Mark's actual birthday, I woke up early and got coffee from <a href="https://www.blankslatenyc.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Blank Slate Coffee + Kitchen</a> and some banana bread to surprise Mark with. After breakfast, we went to East Village for a little birthday surprise I had for him- a facial steam and massage at <a href="https://blindbarber.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Blind Barber</a> and some coffee at 9th St. Espresso. <i>He loved it!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Afterwards we continued our pizza tour and met up with one of our friends for lunch. Then, after that we walked around for a bit to shop and see some more of the city and then went to see some friends play in their band at <a href="http://rockwoodmusichall.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rockwood Music Hall</a>.<br />

The weekend was seriously so lovely. I wish it could've lasted a little longer! Sunday we went back to Blank Slate for brunch and then we walked around for a bit through Central Park, headed uptown to meet Mark's cousin and his wife for lunch, and then they gave us a little tour of their neighborhood near Columbia University. For lunch I surprised Mark and we went to the diner that was used for the exterior of the diner in Seinfeld. We love the show so I knew Mark would get a kick out of that! Our food was delicious and the rest of the coffee and bagels we had in that neighborhood were just as good.<br />
<br />
To end the day, we relaxed a bit in the lounge of Arlo Nomad and then got on the train to head home. I love adventuring with my best friend. Have you ever spent the weekend in NYC? Whats one of your favorite things? Comment below!<br />

<a name='more'></a>One thing I absolutely love, love, LOVE is a cheese board. When Mark and I go out for dinner to a nice restaurant or when we want to celebrate, you better believe we order a cheese board for an appetizer! They're just so good, and so many places make them differently and with a variety of flavor.<br />
<br />
Today, I want to share a couple of tips for you to create you're own charcuterie board right at home. This makes a really great addition to a home made meal for Valentine's Day coming up or a birthday, etc. Something that I love about these boards is there are so many combinations or protein, cheeses, crackers + bread, dips + sauces, fruit, pickles, nuts + seeds, the list goes on!<br />
<br />

<br />
As a vegetarian, I skip the meat when I make them at home, but if you eat meat you'll definitely want to experiment with different combinations like salami, prosciutto, and other cured meats. So let's get started, shall we?<br />
<br />
The first thing you'll need for the perfect charcuterie board is the board itself. Make sure its big enough to hold all of the elements, as well as clean and attractive. I find that a slab of sealed wood or marble looks best! (If you're using a lot of colorful elements, a darker color might work well too.)<br />
<br />
Next, choose your cheeses. You want a mix of soft, semi-soft, and hard cheeses. For ours we used a Rosemary Manchego, an Espresso Infused Bellavitano, a fun goat cheese mix (I can't for the life of me remember the name of that one), and a white cheddar. I'm getting hungry just thinking about all this.<br />
<br />

<br />
Now for the additional elements. Fruit, nuts, pickles/pickled veggies, the list goes on! For our pairings, we chose pistachios, apples, and dried cranberries. In the past we've done tiny pickles, pickled carrots, almonds, nectarines, and grapes.<br />
<br />
For the final touch, we used water crackers and warm, seasoned pita bread. I also added some smoky dijon mustard for the bread and paired with the cheeses it makes a delicious combination. If you'd like to copy this board and add meat, I would recommend prosciutto and jamón serrano.<br />
<br />
Another few elements you might like on your board include raw, local honey or fresh berries when its berry season. Enjoy!<br />
