Next up on the European adventure was, in the words of Joey from Friends — “London, baby!!!” And better than that, after traveling solo for the past 11 days, I was SO excited that arriving in London meant finally being reunited with my friends!!! For anyone who missed my original Europe...
Ok, three weeks later, I’m finally getting my pictures up from the second half of my trip. Better late than never! Barcelona was a total highlight of my trip. My 3 days there were pretty much 100% spontaneous, due to pretty much zero advanced planning. But I seemed to luck...
For our last full day with the Costa Pacifica, we were all elated to spend some time in France. Our ship docked in the port of Marseilles, but then I hopped on a bus with some friends for the “A Day In The Heart Of Provence” excursion. We first visited...
Our fourth stop with the Costa Pacifica was the small town of Savona. Clearly, it was a bit of a cloudy day. And everyone seemed a little tired after Rome, so we chose to stay near the ship and just explore the town right next to the port. (Can...

Today was one of the most relaxing days I’ve had in a long time. We spent the day on the ship “at sea” en route to the port of Palmero (Sicily). And oh, what a wonderful place to spend a day. From meeting new friends, to trying to eek out some...
Hey friends! As I just posted on Gimme Some Oven, I arrived in Europe today!!! I am going to be spending the next 3.5 weeks here traveling around Spain, France, Italy and England, and would love for you to join along as I photo journal the trip. Now that...
One of my favorite things about teaching music is getting to play and sing lots of Christmas songs with my students each December. The kids love it. The adults love it. And even after listening to Christmas songs for 6 hours straight this past Monday, I still loved it!...
Confession: I am a total cold weather wimp. Give me long walks in the sunshine, pretty bike rides through the park or laps in the pool any day when it’s warm out. But once the forecast dips below about 40 degrees, I’m done. The only reason you’ll find me hanging...
Hi everyone! Ali, here, from Gimme Some Oven. I am beyond grateful today to be introducing you to my new new blog, Gimme Some Life! For years I have been writing all sorts of recipe posts at GSO that have included a few glimpses into my life and thoughts...
