Berkshire Rivers Fly Fishing hosted Alex and I for a day of fishing, but all opinions are my own. For more information on sponsored posts (and how I only recommend what I truly love), visit my Work with Me page. The last time I went fishing, my pole was Tweety-Bird themed and I was seven. […]

(Visited January 20, 2017) Without Lillian Cunningham of the Washington Post, this story is not possible. (In case you’re wondering, yes I did thank her on twitter and yes, she did respond back.) When her podcast, Presidential, reached its episode on Jimmy Carter, Cunningham traveled down to Plains, GA to sit in Carter’s Sunday School […]

Even though the famed magician died almost one hundred years ago, there is one place where the great Harry Houdini still lives. No, it is not within the bustling streets of New York, or even in the shadow of the Magic Castle in Los Angeles. The world famous Houdini still lives in a small theater […]

Undoubtedly the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and celebrations rank high on a list of top things to do in Dublin. However, if you were going to take a poll of the person least likely to want to be in town for these antics, I would probably win. (I tend to dislike both drunk people and […]

Do a quick Google Search and you’ll find plenty of options offer a self drive tour of Ireland or road trip itineraries that crisscross the country. We found a bunch of ‘A week in Ireland’ sample itineraries, but not on that was the perfect option for us. So we combined a few to create a […]

The Guinness Storehouse tour is undoubtedly one of the top attractions in Dublin, if not the most popular. The ruby red drink is almost synonymous with Ireland, and Dublin, more specifically. (Did you think Guinness was black not red? Me too, until we took the tour and they said it a million times…) As one […]

Guide to Dublin – Where to stay There is a never ending list of where you could stay in Dublin. Instead of recommending a specific place (because we didn’t stay anywhere amazing), I’d rather recommend an area. We stayed in the Iveagh Gardens/St. Stephen’s Green area and that put us in walking distance of almost […]

After the stress of driving on the wrong side of the road, the disappointment of Galway the night before, and the seemingly constant rainy mist that followed most of our time outside of Dublin and obscured the Cliffs of Moher earlier that morning, I was in quite a mood when we arrived in Killarney, Ireland. […]

Before going to Ireland, I could’ve told you that the Blarney Stone is a huge tourist attraction, but I had no idea why, except for the photos I’d seen of all the tourists contorting themselves to lean back and kiss what looked like a stone wall. After visiting Ireland, I’m still a little confused about […]

Killarney Glamping hosted Alex and I for a magical night of glamping, but all opinions are my own. For more information on sponsored posts (and how I only recommend what I truly love), visit my Work with Me page. There are two things that can turn a good place to stay into a great place […]

As the car continued to climb the narrow roads, the mist was not starting to clear. In fact, the only thing that was clear to me was the mist seeming to get even thicker. With its increased thickness, our chances of seeing the Cliffs of Moher decreased. But, thanks to some local advice, we weren’t […]

If you know me, you probably know what my one vice is. Books. (Not as exciting as you were expecting?) But, seriously, it’s true. You would think that my overflowing bookshelves would be a sign that I should stop buying and start reading, but that’s not how it works in my brain. Overflow means I […]
