As you’ve probably seen from my Instagram and blog photos lately, James and I took 1.5 week long trip back to Arizona for Thanksgiving. It was my first time back in Phoenix since last year and as awful as this may sound, each year we visit, it starts to feel less and less like home. So for my transplant friends out there, I want to know: Do you ever feel like a visitor in your own hometown?

Duck confit tacos from Jax’s Kitchen.

So … I may or may not be guilty of excessively taking Instagram pics of my food, but it’s hard not to when it looks this good!  Giant slices of pizza and chocolate shakes are definitely getting me through this summer.

Can I haz?  Even the pup appreciates good food with he sees it!

This past weekend, I was a little bit of everywhere.  My mom flew in for a quick visit, we drove up to Phoenix for my brother’s fiancé’s bridal shower, and then I headed straight back to Tucson.  Still trying to catch up on work, so enjoy a few Instagram snaps from here and there.

The most adorable bridal shower party favor (it’s hard to kill a succulent, right?).


A gift from mom.

And an equally sweet treat from a bff (thanks for the mojito, Em!).

And my favorite pic of all: gorgeous baubles from my favorite Etsy shops!
