    Slowing down at Papaya Playa Project 

    There were no poses in crystalline cenotes. No visits to “insta-worthy” locations. Just palapa-thatched huts dotting the jungle alongside a pristine stretch of the Caribbean sea. We spent our time in unplugged stone white rooms, whose entertainment was the occasional iguana on a distant rock…

    Don’t leave San Francisco without doing these 5 things 

    San Franciso! Nobody told us that there would be hills, mini mountains that we would hike daily just to get to the nearest Whole Foods or corner shop from our hotel.  But we were high on a plan to discover San Francisco, the city almost…

    4 perfect hiking trails you must do in Palm Beach 

    Hiking trails…just the thought of it would make me shudder. Why would anyone subject themselves to the anonymity of the woods? The likelihood of befriending a bear, deer or worse, an alligator is not appealing. I choose life! Two and a half years ago Phil…

    Little Havana in four hours 

    Little Havana is cultural whirlwind that can leave you giddy and wishing you had Cuban blood running through your veins. Phil and I love the Hispanic culture so much, that we danced salsa as part of our first dance at our wedding and got a…

    Mandolin Aegean Bistro, an escape to Greece 

    At the hem of the design district and a stone’s throw from Little Haiti is a taverna that pays homage to the simple delicacies of the Greek islands and Turkey. With white washed walls and an iconic blue door as brilliant at the Mediterranean, Mandolin…

    Poolside daycation at The Hilton West Palm Beach 

    Hypnotic reggae beats push my hips into a sway as I make my way over to a row of lounge chairs adorned with blue and white striped umbrellas. With each step I take Bob reminds me not to worry about a thing. Don’t worry Bob,…

    I can't do what you guys do. There's no way! Don't I can't do what you guys do.
There's no way!
Don't you get tired of working together?
How do you guys not kill each other?

We've heard so many variations of this for the last 15 years that we wondered if something was wrong with US.

16 years together,
13 years of doing business together across 3 brands,
17 months of being digital nomads 😲
That's A LOT of time together and yet...
We can't get enough of each other.

We're polar opposites. 
So much so that ego and preconceived expectations made the first couple years of marriage difficult.
Somewhere in the early months of our wedding photography business, we learned to champion each other's strengths more than fighting about the "weaknesses".

And there we found that we weren't as polar as we thought...not in the things that mattered anyway.

Last Wednesday, we toasted to 15 years of marriage by the grace of God
And embarked on yet another adventure...together.
It was only a matter of time before it happened and I'm really excited!

Guess who's now a part of Escape Prints?

All for the art of nature and the glory of the One who created it.

Drop by Escape Prints, check out the new escapes plus @phillashley charcoal work, and bring the art of nature home. (Link in profile).

P.S. To my HOH peeps, IG won't allow me to add captions to videos when we're traveling through Central America😕

My vision was blurred by tears, but I could distinctly make out the mix of horror, concern, and disgust woven across her face.

Keke, you wouldn’t try it with me?

Deadpan…followed by an eye roll and folded arms that could only have been cultured through a family of Jamaicans.

It didn’t help that I was laughing hysterically and breathless on the floor.

I told her we did something crazy for Uncle Phil’s birthday but instead of gaining brownie points my god-daughter was losing all the love and admiration she had stockpiled for me in the last 14 years of her life.

You won’t know if you love it or hate it until you try it, baby girl.

Some things you just don’t need to try! She retorted

And I agree.

But this? This was miilllld compared to some of the things we’ve been invited to try.

At least my feet were firmly on the ground for this one!

An appetizer of local wild insects in the culinary capital of Mexico — check!

    493 days. I'm still trying to find the word to des 493 days.
I'm still trying to find the word to describe it,
Something weightier than grateful,
And lighter than inspired,
Something that embodies the dichotomy of emotions and lived experiences.
It's been a dream.
A beautifully difficult dream.

    Sometimes the clouds descend to see what it's like Sometimes the clouds descend to see what it's like to walk the earth as men.
    People like Andre make this worth it. The little People like Andre make this worth it.

The little girl who saw pure confusion and dejection at a deaf home tour make this necessary.

That little girl desperately need to see people like me standing up for her needs.

And she needed to see people like her confident and understood in their disability.

So that little girl became what she didn’t see and in doing so, she ever so slowly pushed back the insecurities that came with living hard of hearing.

Dear hearing people,

I joined @thebetterconnectacademy to have a real talk about this journey and life -the fears, the struggles, the good. And instead of just reading my words, you’re seeing my face and hearing my voice. 

Jump over to the link in bio and join the conversation.

Let me know if you had any aha moments.
