We’ve Been Living in These Sandals All Summer

Summertime in Tennessee is hot enough that you barely want to wear clothes, let alone shoes. That’s why we’ve been wearing these sandals for the last few months.

Birkenstocks were all the rage when PJ was in high school, but they’ve started to make a comeback in the last few years, and thank God, because we love the way they go with any and every outfit and they’re comfy as hell. They’re classic in the best kind of way, don’t you think?

PJ has been rocking this brown pair and Thomas these black ones. We wear the same size shoes for the most part, but these are the only ones we won’t share. That’s how much we love them 😂.

Also, loving these brown ones with the gold buckles:

We’ve also been eyeing these, these, and these. The ones with the straps on the back seem like they would be especially comfortable.

Do you have a pair, too? Maybe you held onto them for years, waiting for them to come back in style again? OR, you wore them the whole time regardless if they were trendy or not. We like that scenario much better.

24 Hours in Barcelona

24 Hours in Barcelona

It was brief, but it sure was beautiful. We spent a little less than 24 hours in Barcelona, Spain two weeks ago and all we can say is that we wish we were there just a little longer because wow. What a gorgeous and eclectic city!

There’s No Place Like Home

After three different countries and spending all week visiting parts of the world we’ve never been to before, it felt so good to walk through our front door and exhale. We are home!

We got home late Saturday night and the first thing we did was make a big pot of coffee. Sounds weird, but we were wired and had lots of unpacking to do and we knew we wouldn’t be able to sleep anyway. We loved on the fur babies and changed our sheets (forgot to do that before we left) and just took in being home. The cruise was, as always, amazing, and visiting all of the new (to us) cities and meeting so many new friends was the highlight of our trip, but there’s just something about being home and settling back into a routine that we absolutely love.

We’ll be posting some vlogs and blogs in the next few weeks all about the cruise and the cities we visited, so stay tuned!
