Baseball is Hard

May 4, 2015 By Laura

Have you ever tried to explain a sport to someone?

When you say it out loud, it sounds so ridiculous.

Like baseball.  You hit a ball with a stick and run around a diamond.  If you can make it to one of the white squares before they can throw the ball at you, you’re safe.

There there’s the matter of explaining foul balls (that’s what she said), strikes, walks, home runs, stealing… it all happened this weekend when Vegas and I took Lucie to the Padres game.

(For those who don’t know already, Lucie is my friend from Switzerland.  She writes a blog and she’s awesome.  I visited/met her last year in Switzerland.)

Grand Vanilla French Toast [Recipe]

April 27, 2015 By Laura

Life is grand.

Yes, I know… I’m cheesy.

Really though.  In the past few days there’s been so much good. I took Vegas for her first ever (?!) mani-pedi: Mani-Pedi…

Butternut Touch My #strangebutgood

November 14, 2014 By Laura

Today is an adventure.

In more ways than one…

The focus of this particular adventure is a #strangebutgood soup.  The recipe for this spicy Butternut Squash-Apple Soup can be found on my beautiful Swiss friend Lucie’s blog.  The soup is delicious… but even better when done as a guest post for a bad ass blonde!

It’s sweet.  It’s spicy.  It’s everything you never knew you always wanted.  Just like my date last night. #twss

Travel Hangover + a Swiss Birthday

May 19, 2014 By Laura

The hangover is one downside to travel.

Besides the bathrooms on trains.

Coming home is my least favorite part about any vacation.  The harsh reality of a travel hangover: waking up without a mountain view, fighting jet lag, and realizing you can no longer subside on bread, cheese, chocolate, and wine.  Or can I…?

With a sad heart I left Lucie in Zurich on Saturday morning.  I had one last espresso (with the little chocolates they always serve them with) and bought a pretzel for the plane ride.  I became addicted to “bretzels” on this trip.

Even the creamer is prettier in Switzerland

A Day in Basel, Switzerland + WIAW

May 14, 2014 By Laura

When in Rome…

Or Basel.  Whatever.

On my first full day in Basel, Lucie took me on adventures fit for a blogger!  But first we began in a predictable way… taking pictures of yogurt bowls before breakfast!

My bowl was goat’s milk yogurt (which Lucie bought special for me!) with cinnamon, Growing Naturals Vanilla Rice Protein, oats, strawberries, cacao nibs, and more of Lucie’s bread.  We took our beautiful bowls outside of a photo shoot in natural light.  Priorities!

I Love Lucie, Basel Episode

May 12, 2014 By Laura

It may seem strange to travel to another country and stay with someone you don’t know.

I didn’t hesitate.

Lucie was so kind to open up her home to me for the first leg of my travels.  It was funny – I didn’t really occur to me that I didn’t know her in real life until someone commented that it was brave on both our parts to plan to spend this time together.  Thankfully it went off without a problem!  (I think… Lucie will have to tell her side of the story. ;))

Fresh off the boat… I mean train…
