goodbye italy. hello america.

home again home again jiggity jog.
{lovebird grew up saying jig, i grew up saying jog. to this day we "argue" over which one's right.}

{the classic airport picture: going to italy, then leaving it all behind.}

hello lovely readers.
 it's been quite awhile- wouldn't you say?
oddly enough, i've slightly missed the blogging world;
mainly catching up with your fun lives, envying your fashion,
trying your diy's and craving your recipes. 
i am back now and have every intention of staying put for a little while. 
where do i even begin?
maybe by sorting though the thousands {literally} of photos i took,
counting the calories i consumed from pasta and bread,
organizing my memories into words to post,
or reflect upon the "important" things to share with you.
all of which seem a little overwhelming at the moment.
you can thank a heavy case of jet lag for that.
i'm anxious to share our adventures amidst the beautiful country of italy.
i now know why roma {rome, in english} spelled backwards is amor. 
not only did i fall in love with everything in sight,
i fell in love with lovebird all over again.
italy has my heart.
i'm convinced i left it there.
thank goodness for throwing a coin in the trevi fountain-
legend has it, i'll return to rome one day and can then reunite with my heart. 
until then, i'll reminisce and share the details with you.
stay tuned. 
i promise to post those details as soon as i can. 
xoxo

  1. I think that the rhyme goes:
    To market, to market to buy a fat pig, home again, home again, jiggety jig. To market to market to buy a fat hot, home again home again jiggety jog.

    So you're both right. :) Just thought I'd help ya out.

    I love Pasta and Bread...I wouldn't be able to fly home from all of the pasta and bread I would consume if I ever got the chance to visit :)
