This post has been a long time coming. We moved away from Vicenza over six months ago, and are definitely missing all of our favorite places there. This little town in Northern Italy will always hold a special place in our hearts! If you ever find yourself visiting Venice or Verona, Vicenza is certainly worth…

Hello, June!
I can’t believe it’s already June. We have been counting down the months, weeks, and days until we meet Baby Shares since October, and now we are only a week away! Most of you likely already know, but the past two weeks have been quite a rollercoaster for us. Michael was in a serious accident…

Mike’s Bike: Guest Post
Hannah commented in her last post that I ought to make a guest post about my bike tours, so here I am. If you’ve known me for 10 minutes, you probably know I like to be active. If you’ve known me for an hour, there is a 95% probability I’ve described my workout plans or…
