This 𝒿𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓃𝑒𝓎 is not for the f This 𝒿𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓃𝑒𝓎 is not for the faint of heart… but it’s the only one we’ve got. 💫 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the “t” word: transitions. They’ve never been easy for me. But in this moment I find myself in the midst of a lot of them. Learning to live in a world without my dad in it - adjusting to that reality has been soul shattering, sad, discombobulating. I miss him so much every day that my heart hurts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then there’s the transition of this pregnancy - carrying my future inside of me, watching my changing body, adjusting my lifestyle to nurture this tiny human. The wonder of new life. Realizing that my life is going to start revolving around someone else who will be solely dependent on me for comfort and care. Like, woah. 🤯Amazing, scary and wonderful all at the same time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Handling the juxtaposition of both is not always easy, but as I’ve said before, I think our minds and bodies allow us to feel several things at once. We can be sad and happy, scared and hopeful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The one thing that’s helped me cope the most during this time is the “one day at a time” motto. Sounds cliche but I find that the further I think into the future about things I can’t control, the harder it is and the more overwhelmed I get. But if I focus on today: how am I feeling TODAY? What changes am I adjusting to TODAY? How can I make time for myself to grieve TODAY? What blessings can I be grateful for TODAY? And even if it’s a bad day, we have tomorrow (hopefully) to start over. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do you cope with transition times? • • • 📸:@laurenpiccolophoto Edit by moi 👩🏻‍💻 • • • • #sparkthepositive #itsokaytonotbeokay #igwriters #thebmorecreatives #baltimore #charmcity #bmoreblogger #pastel #baltimoreblogger #dmvblogger #alliemarietravels #girlslovetravel #stayinspired #prettybaltimore #girlsthatsparkle #femmetravel #travelgirlsgo #thetravelwomen #ladiesgoneglobal #girldiscoverers #thefairytalebloggers #pinktrotters #sheisnotlost #discoverunder5k #openmyworld #griefjourney #lossofalovedone #griefawareness
𝒫𝓇𝑒𝓉𝓉𝓎 𝒫𝒶𝓈𝓉𝑒𝓁𝓈 to start your week…🌸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s another look at the historic Seton Hill district in Baltimore. This was taken 2 weekends ago when we had an unseasonably warm January Sunday (70°F/21°C). I love finding cute little corners like this in my city! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I also had a little fun here - I changed the door from it’s original dark blue to pink with the magic of photoshop! Mike and I are actually renovating our house this year (having a baby and tearing apart our house? I promise, we’re sane 🙈) and my dream is to have a pink door like this one but he’s going to take some convincing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then I went crazy and showed the door in all the pastels. What color would you paint your door? 🌈 • • • • • • • • #thebmorecreatives #baltimore #charmcity #bmoreblogger #pastel #baltimoreblogger #dmvblogger #alliemarietravels #girlslovetravel #stayinspired #prettybaltimore #girlsthatsparkle #femmetravel #travelgirlsgo #thetravelwomen #ladiesgoneglobal #girldiscoverers #thefairytalebloggers #pinktrotters #sheisnotlost #discoverunder5k #openmyworld #pastelbaltimore
𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉 if… 🌸✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We took all the time we spent worrying and obsessing over things we can’t control, and instead used it to be productive and proactive about things we can? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Easier said than done for sure! But it’s definitely food for thought. I know a lot of you out there also struggle with anxiety and sometimes it can really monopolize brainpower and energy that could be put to better use. One of my goals this year is to be more streamlined and productive with my business and I know I won’t achieve it if I don’t put in the time and work. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do I have all the answers? Heck no. But I think when we fall into these patterns of repetitive thinking and worrying, we can ask ourselves: “Is all this ruminating helpful?” “Will it change the outcome?” If the answer is no, that’s our cue to put that time and and brainpower to better use. I’m for sure going to try. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do you break the cycle of anxiety and repetitive thought patterns? Let’s help each other! • • • • • • • • #igwriters #thebmorecreatives #maryland #visitbaltimore #visitmaryland #baltimore #charmcity #bmoreblogger #pastel #baltimoreblogger #dmvblogger #alliemarietravels #girlslovetravel #stayinspired #prettybaltimore #girlsthatsparkle #femmetravel #travelgirlsgo #thetravelwomen #ladiesgoneglobal #girldiscoverers #thefairytalebloggers #pinktrotters #sheisnotlost #discoverunder5k #anxietyawareness

Embrace the fact that life looks very different than it did 2 years ago (before my dad’s illness) and will look very different 1 year from now with our expanding family. Embrace the in between, the calm after and before the storm… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just embrace it. 💗 What’s your word this week? • • • • • • • • #intentions #meditation #poetry #gratitude #griefjourney #bmoreart #bmoreblogger #hampdenbaltimore #baltimoreblogger #alliemarietravels #girlslovetravel #stayinspired #baltimurals #bmoreart #iamatraveler #girlsthatsparkle #femmetravel #travelgirlsgo #thetravelwomen #ladiesgoneglobal #girldiscoverers #thefairytalebloggers #pinktrotters #sheisnotlost #discoverunder5k #openmyworld #lifestyle #visitmaryland #visitbaltimore
We have some special news for the New Year… 🤰 We have some special news for the New Year… 🤰🏻👶🏻💗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I could say 2019 was my worst year for so many reasons. But amidst the sorrow and clouds and tears, there were blessings - and the biggest one was that Mike and I found out we were going to become parents! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We found out in November so we were able to share the news with my dad before he passed. It meant the world to me to be able to make him part of my parenthood journey, even if it was brief. He and my mom got to share a look of excitement when I told them together. He got to know he was going to be a grandpa and that his daughter was starting her own family. I 100% believe in divine timing on this one. 🙏🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are expecting our baby GIRL 🎀 in July and I look forward to all the adventures that lie ahead of us. It’s going to be wild! Needless to say our travels will look a bit different but we’re not planning on stopping them. 😉✈️#addingacarryon #babyonboard #bébéaboard • • • • • • #julybaby #july2020baby #pregnancyannoucement #itsagirl #pinkeverything #babyontheway #babyannouncement #fromabove #onmytable #tablesituation #onthetableproject #flatlaythenation #flatlayforever #flatlaystyle #flatlay #flatlayoftheday #hcstyledstock #pregnancyjourney
“𝒮𝓊𝓇𝓇𝑜𝓊𝓃𝒹 yourself with “𝒮𝓊𝓇𝓇𝑜𝓊𝓃𝒹 yourself with people who care about you, not just who say it, but those who show it.” ✨ᴬˡᵉˣ ᴱˡˡᵉ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As we pass through our 20s and 30s, a LOT changes. Good changes, bad changes, job changes, location changes. Major life changes. WE change. When you experience a major life change it can also mean that friendships evolve, whether it be gaining a significant other, having a child, moving away, etc. A lot of times its a natural process where neither party carries fault. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As @refugeingrief pointed out so eloquently in a recent post, grief can also cause changes and/or loss of friendships for a variety of reasons. The one who is grieving usually doesn’t have the energy or desire to chase the friendship because they are so focused on their own hardship. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But my post isn’t about losing friends. It’s about gratitude for the love and support I’ve been shown during my darkest time. People I’ve known for years to people whom I’ve never met. You’ve taken the time to send me messages sharing your own stories of parent loss. You’ve sent me thoughtful gifts and cards and flowers. You’ve checked in on me and let me be sad but also distracted me with cat videos and reality TV gossip. You’ve taken walks with me. You’ve prayed for me. You’ve cried with me. You’ve been there. And I feel your support and warmth like sunshine. 🥰☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Has a friendship made your hardship more bearable? 💗 • • • • 📸: @laurenpiccolophoto • • • #sparkthepositive #griefjourney #lossofalovedone #griefawareness #itsokaytonotbeokay #parentloss #thebmorecreatives #baltimore #charmcity #bmoreblogger #fellspoint #baltimoreblogger #alliemarietravels #girlslovetravel #stayinspired #friendship #gratitude #girlsthatsparkle #femmetravel #travelgirlsgo #thetravelwomen #ladiesgoneglobal #girldiscoverers #thefairytalebloggers #pinktrotters #sheisnotlost #discoverunder5k #openmyworld

This time last year we were planning our trip there, and this February/March will take us to Denver, Switzerland and France. While I am looking forward to that, I must admit it’s nice to have a month to rest at home and catch up with friends, work and create some local content. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you have your first trip planned this year?

Fresh 𝓈𝓆𝓊𝑒𝑒𝓏𝑒𝒹…🍊🍊🍊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do you do when you want to get a few pictures for content but don’t feel like leaving your hotel? Stay at a hotel with great photo ops! Hotel Marseilles is a budget-friendly option located between 17th St & 18th Street and Collins Ave which is a great location in South Beach, adjacent to many bars, restaurants and (most importantly) - direct beach access! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My dad booked the hotel because of the name & Mike & I’s connection to Marseille 🇫🇷 and we ended up having a nice stay here. My favorite part was our little balcony off our room and the tranquil pool area. The hotel also offers a free happy hour for guests between 6-7 which is a pretty sweet perk. While I usually have active sightseeing trips, sometimes you need a vacation that means doing absolutely nothing, and that can feel pretty great. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When’s the last time you took a trip without an agenda? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tʀᴀᴠᴇʟ Tɪᴘ: If you book a stay at this hotel, ask for a room on one of the top floors to get an ocean view/balcony. • • • • • • #southbeach #miami #miamibeach #southflorida #miamilife #miamilifestyle #southbeachmiami #miami🌴#welcometomiami #staysaltyflorida #exploremiami #miamilovers #mytinyatlas #miamiflorida #miamivibes #visitmiami #miamimurals #streetart #livecolorfully #girldiscoverers #wearetravelgirls #creativegirlgang #traveldreamseekers #femaletraveler #darlingplaces #discoverunder5k #sheisnotlost #ladiesgoneglobal #travelgirlsgo
On the 𝗘𝗩𝗘 of 2020: 💫 Let go of what n On the 𝗘𝗩𝗘 of 2020: 💫 Let go of what no longer serves you. Toxic thoughts, behavior patterns, relationships. Grudges and bitterness. Peacefully and kindly un-attach yourself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💫 It is okay to set boundaries and set them often. It is okay to say no without guilt when you need to, especially while you are healing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💫 Not everyone will like you or agree with what you do. That is okay. Be kind and true to yourself and your values. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💫 Not everyone will support you in ways you need. But you will also find support and love in unexpected places. Choose gratitude. 🙏🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💫𝐁𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In lieu of resolutions, this year I decided to set intentions: Mantras that I can adopt, ingrain and repeat to improve my thoughts & wellbeing for the new year. I don’t have a problem with resolutions, but after a very tough year, setting specific “resolutions” or goals seemed too definite and confining. For 2020 I am giving myself the time and space to grow at my own pace without expectation or fear of failure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yes, last year was really really hard. And I know the hurt won’t be left behind, but I can still look back with gratitude and hope for what the future holds. After I took this photo I tossed my tiny bouquet into the ocean, making a wish that next year would be better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do you feel about resolutions/intentions? • • • • • • #intentions #meditation #newyear #tinybouquet #miamibeach #miami #adventure #igwriters #myfloraldays #smallmomentsofcalm #simplepleasures #underthefloralspell #justbefloral #botanicaldaydreams #visitmiamibeach #welcometomiami #staysaltyflorida #exploremiami #miamilovers #mytinyatlas #yourmindmatters #selfreflection #lifeisajourney #innerstrength #growth #womenwhowrite #showupforyourself
“This world will get 𝒽𝑒𝒶𝓋𝓎… sta “This world will get 𝒽𝑒𝒶𝓋𝓎… stay unshaken in pursuit of the light.”✨ ☾ᵇᵘᵗᵗᵉʳᶠˡᶦᵉˢ ʳᶦˢᶦⁿᵍ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Over Christmas I spent 3 days in Miami Beach with Mike, my mom and brother. My dad planned the trip for us a few months ago with the idea that he might feel well enough to go. After he passed we decided to still go and to be honest, I wasn’t looking forward to it. I knew it would be a very tough holiday without my him…the holiday season usually brings up so much magic and nostalgia for me and this year I was feeling none of the above. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The trip definitely exceeded my expectations though. We spent our time soaking up the sun at the beach and pool, relaxing, bonding in grief and sharing stories. It was 100% the right move for us this year not to do a traditional holiday at home, and I felt better than I had in awhile. And even though he wasn’t physically there, I felt my dad was definitely with us on this trip. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It made me think that maybe this is a good time to change things up and start a new tradition of always traveling somewhere during the holidays. Do you prefer Christmas at home or traveling? • 💗 Wearing @loveleggingsofficial Everyday High Waisted Leggings in “Intense Pink” {#gifted} • • • • • • #griefjourney #lossofalovedone #griefawareness #itsokaytonotbeokay #parentloss #southbeach #miami #miamibeach #southflorida #miamilife #miamilifestyle #southbeachmiami #miami🌴 #miamiflorida #miamivibes #visitmiami #prettycity #livecolorfully #travelcolorfully #girldiscoverers #wetravelgirls #traveldreamseekers #femaletraveler  #travelinladies #darlingplaces
𝒟𝓊𝑜𝓂𝑜 views for days… 😍😍😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I can say with certainty that Florence’s Duomo is one of my favorite churches in the world, if not my top favorite. I love everything about it: it’s monumental stature & architecture, the pink and green accents, the gold gilded frescos and just the insane amount of detail.✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While it’s impressive up close, it’s also nice to take it in from a more distant vantage point. You can find this amazing view by heading to the department store La Rinascente in the Piazza della Republicca. Take the elevator up to the top floor where you will find an indoor cafe and another stairway to the rooftop. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tʀᴀᴠᴇʟ Tɪᴘ: As you can imagine it is REALLY popular - when I was there on a Saturday morning there was already a line forming for brunch. Also, you are not allowed to just go up for photos, you need to be a customer and they are pretty strict about it. (You can try to sneak up mid day for a quick shot but no guarantees you won’t be tsk tsked by the staff). I would suggest going late afternoon on a Tuesday or Wednesday to beat the crowds and get a nice view for golden hour/sunset. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✔️ Make sure to SAVE this post for your Florence trip and you can also check out my blog post on my “Favorite Places to Eat in Florence” for more dining/drinking tips! 🍷🍝🍕🍧 • • • • • • • • #florence #firenze #tuscany #toscana #florenceitaly #florencecathedral #florencegram #florencemypassion #florenceilove #firenzetoday #firenzecityofficial #firenze4ever #duomofirenze #firenzeduomo #whatitalyis #italy_vacations #madeinitaly #italygram #italytour #italyiloveyou #femmetravel #travelgirlsgo #thetravelwomen #ladiesgoneglobal #sheisnotlost #discoverunder5k #tuscanymypassion #florencefoodie
Challenge: try to look cute while blowing a 𝔹𝕌𝔹𝔹𝕃𝔼. 🌸 Difficulty Level: Extreme ‼️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I saw this cute and cheesy graphic t-shirt of Michelangelo’s “David” statue blowing a bubble, I got the idea for a photo like this. 💡However, I didn’t anticipate that blowing a perfect big pink bubble AND trying to have a face that was acceptable for a photo at the same time would prove to be quite a challenge! There are quite the hilarious outtakes for this one, I’ll tell you that. 😂🙈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fun fact: I still love graphic t-shirts (even though once I read an article that said you shouldn’t wear them if you’re over 30. Whatevs!). You can find this David shirt and also one of the Mona Lisa blowing a bubble in the famous San Lorenzo market as well as the Mercato Porcellino which is near the famed statue of the wild boar in central Florence. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you ever had a photoshoot that was more challenging than expected? Did it include chewing gum? • • • • • • • • #florence #firenze #tuscany #toscana #florenceitaly #florencecathedral #florencegram #florencemypassion #florenceilove #firenzetoday #firenzecityofficial #firenze4ever #duomofirenze #firenzeduomo #whatitalyis #italy_vacations #madeinitaly #italygram #italytour #italyiloveyou #femmetravel #travelgirlsgo #thetravelwomen #ladiesgoneglobal #sheisnotlost #discoverunder5k #tuscanymypassion

𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐀𝐑𝐓 in Florence…🎨 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ …is not as obvious as it is in other places I’ve been - BUT IT IS THERE! The thing I loved about the street art in Florence was its subtlety. There were a lot of tiny wall paintings at corners & adorning the closed store front gates. I also loved seeing the old frescos that had been preserved mixed with the new street art. Such a cool juxtaposition in the city of art! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On our walk home from a Fiorentina soccer game though (an experience I totally recommend btw), we found the graffiti JACKPOT! Piazza delle Cure is an underground passage well known space for street artists and the walls are decked out in amazing graffiti and art. Definitely SAVE this post to check out this corridor when you are in Florence to get a different perspective of the city. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Where’s your favorite place for street art? • • • • • • • • #florence #firenze #tuscany #toscana #florenceitaly #fpontevecchio #florencegram #florencemypassion #florenceilove #firenzetoday #firenzecityofficial #firenze4ever #duomofirenze #firenzeduomo #whatitalyis #italy_vacations #madeinitaly #italygram #italytour #italyiloveyou #femmetravel #travelgirlsgo #ladiesgoneglobal #sheisnotlost #discoverunder5k #tuscanymypassion #graffiti #streetart #florencestreetart
"In the 𝑒𝓃𝒹, she became more than what sh "In the 𝑒𝓃𝒹, she became more than what she expected. She became the journey, and like all journeys, she did not end, she just simply changed directions and 𝒌𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈"  ʳ.ᵐ. ᵈʳᵃᵏᵉ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did you know I started my first travel blog 13 years ago in Florence? When I studied abroad in 2007 I wanted a way to document my time there and share my experiences with friends and family back home. These were the days of “blogspot” and “live journal” … when Facebook was still a baby and before Instagram even existed. (Yes, I’m old 😂) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was dedicated to it. I didn’t write every day but I made sure to talk about the highlights and lowlights, any trip I took outside of Florence and I reflected on the lessons learned along the way. My grandmother, who was very sick at the time, would log on to read anytime I posted a new entry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of my big regrets in life is that the text of that blog was lost (the site it was hosted on was long shut down and the text I had saved on my old computer was lost when it crashed). But going back to Florence, I was pleasantly surprised at how the memories came flooding back, filling me with a sense of nostalgia, happiness and pride at how far I’ve come in my journey since then. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did you used to keep a travel blog or journal when you were younger? Do you still have them? 📝👩🏻‍💻 • • • • • • • • #florence #firenze #tuscany #toscana #florenceitaly #fpontevecchio #florencegram #florencemypassion #florenceilove #firenzetoday #firenzecityofficial #firenze4ever #duomofirenze #firenzeduomo #whatitalyis #italy_vacations #madeinitaly #italygram #italytour #italyiloveyou #femmetravel #travelgirlsgo #thetravelwomen #ladiesgoneglobal #sheisnotlost #discoverunder5k #tuscanymypassion
