Beginning...

So here WE are in Nashville (it's 27 degrees outside). When I say we, I mean husband Tyrone, daughters Aria (3 years) and Ireland (6 weeks) and Pono the dog (8 years). All of us at times hanging out in a little hotel room, lugging around suitcases, eating in a rental car, sleeping at someone else's house and trying out a new eating establishment here in a foreign place we are less familiar with. This also wouldn't be the first time since we've been traveling like this ever since we got married 9 years ago. If you are a mom you may right away think I'm living crazy. Sometimes I think I am too, but this has been part of our life up to now and it's the beautiful life I have come to embrace. 

Which leads me to why I am finally starting this blog.
1) It's a new year 2015 and I want to commit to meeting the pages of my blog on a regular basis this year.
2) I think you might find all my travels with family a bit interesting and helpful (I hope) especially if you want to brave the planes and hotels with kids and a dog like me
3) I am passionate about many things: music, songwriting, working with my husband, my faith, mothering, cooking, crafting, food, traveling, diversity and culture just to name a few. I hope with this blog I can further explore and talk about these passions. All these interests that I have and like to share with others have made my husband call me his "Cosmopolitan Housewife".
