I just adore Greece and it's hard to pick just one photo to share (and honestly, I haven't even gone through 10% of our photos yet, this was just what I grabbed really fast for something to put in this weekend's post). This is Santorini Island, Greece. It is as picturesque as I imagined it to be. Getting through the hordes of tourists with a stroller? Not so easy. But it's breathtaking, nonetheless! This is the town Fira on Santorini. The top photo is of [...]

One of our first looks at Iguazu Falls. The white that you see at the bottom of the photo is the mist from the falls, which rises so high that it obscures much of the bottom view. These are some mighty powerful falls. I was blown away by the sheer volume of water that falls each second!

I couldn't resist sharing a few of the stunningly gorgeous photos from my husband's trip to Antarctica two weeks ago. This is what I wanted to see most of all... the turquoise icebergs.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience... walking around on an island in Tierra del Fuego that two penguin colonies, mostly Magellanic, and a much smaller colony of Gentoos (which are usually only found in Antarctica so we felt very privileged to see them and they were definitely my favorite ones). It was incredible. Links I loved this week: Easy Cocoa Almonds {A Healthy Sweet Treat} @ day2day joys Simple, European Style, Everyday Bread Recipe With Video @ My Humble Kitchen.
