Captain’s Cove Seaport is located in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Explore the little shops located in what look like…

I don’t have a green thumb. Can I call it a yellow thumb? It’s quite possibly a brown thumb. I killed a succulent in less than two weeks. But I decided I wanted to use plants to add style to my bathroom. I started by growing an avocado tree from the pit. After two months, nothing happened and I had to throw the pit away. I tried again about a week later and I’m still waiting to see what happens…

Not Traveling = Virtual Traveling I’ve been video-chatting on Zoom a lot. Zoom fatigue is real. Although…

Bucket list dreaming 2020! We’re not going out much right now. But that doesn’t mean we can’t dream of our next travel destinations. I made a list a few years ago of places that I want to go. Now I’ve updated it a little bit for 2020. More like 2021. Cuba I chose Cuba for the bucket list because it’s someplace that was under my radar for a long time.
