Our Itinerary for One Week in Greece

I still haven’t fully unpacked from our one week in Greece so it should be pretty easy to just head straight back, right? I’m missing all the gorgeous vines, beaches, and feta cheese. For anyone else heading out on a trip soon, here was our itinerary for one week in Greece, with most of our time spent in the Ionian Islands.

So next time you’re standing in front of their myriad of options, pop this open and try one of our favorites.

Tiling a Backsplash with Tile Mat: A SimpleMat Review

One last kitchen post before we never have to talk about this project again. Since this was our first attempt at tiling, I wanted to share our process for tiling a backsplash with tile mat and give you our SimpleMat review. There were pros and cons for using tile mat instead of traditional mortar, but we’ll get to that in a minute.

Packing for Greece in the Spring

Robin and I got back from Greece last week and I have been obsessed with keeping the breezy Grecian vibes going since then. We went to Athens, Corfu, Kefalonia, and Patras, and then stopped in a few towns on our drive back to Athens. I changed up my packing method for this trip and it was a game-changer. Keep reading to see our recommendations for packing for Greece in spring.

One Room Challenge Week Six: DIY Kitchen Makeover Reveal

Pop the pink wine, fam! The DIY kitchen makeover reveal is finally here! If you remember where we left off last week, a LOT of things still needed to happen. The lower boxes needed to be primed and painted, the lower door hardware needed to be installed (including jury-rigging a few of the latches), the island needed to be assembled, a light needed to be installed, and we needed to install the backsplash. Just a few things! But, we did it!

Our Favorite Audiobooks

With all the work I’ve been doing in our kitchen, I’ve had a lot of time to listen to podcasts. But, after catching up on My Favorite Murder and then listening to every episode again, I realized I might need to branch out a bit. So, I started checking out audiobooks from my library. I had always associated audiobooks with the giant cases of cassette tapes they used to come in, but listening to an audiobook these days is pretty much the same as a podcast. So, since I’ve been burning through so many stories, I thought I’d share my favorite audiobooks so far.
