Good Food Reads: Valdirose

October 26, 2018 By Lane 20 Comments

While planning my recent trip to Italy, I read everything I could get my hands on. I was particularly interested in lodging, since my last trip to Italy was via a cruise where I didn’t need to worry about where we would stay. As fate would have it, I stumbled upon a blog called Girl in Florence. At the very, very bottom of her page on hotel recommendations in Florence, she recommended a B and B named Valdirose. I clicked on the owner’s Instagram page and knew immediately that this was the place we were going to stay. Here is why…

GFR: A Cozy Friday Five

September 21, 2018 By Holly Leave a Comment

Hey Friends! It seems overnight, the cold arrived in Minnesota. I celebrated my birthday this past weekend with a string of gorgeous (and hot!) 90 degree days. It felt like summer’s last big hurrah and we soaked it up. Monday afternoon, the storms rolled in and so did the cool weather. While I’ve been looking forward to some crisper fall evenings, I can’t say I’m loving this chilly, damp, rainy business. Since I’m also trying to cultivate a daily gratitude practice, I figured I would make the focus for this week’s Friday Five all about my favorite cozy things. …
