In this blog, I share the highlights of an unforgettable trip through Europe with my husband, Sean, focusing on our stay in the medieval village of Sextantio, Italy. Nestled in the Abruzzo mountains, this restored 13th-century town offered a unique experience of stepping back in time, complete with rustic accommodations. The highlight of our visit was a horseback riding adventure through the stunning Italian landscape, guided by Angelica, the owner of "The Dream" barn. From the breathtaking views to the medieval charm, this journey was truly one for the books.

In this blog, i'm sharing a delightful recipe for chocolate chip cookies in a jar—an easy, thoughtful gift that anyone can bake fresh at home. You'll find the ingredients needed, how to assemble the jar with dry ingredients, and the simple steps for baking the cookies with added wet ingredients. Bon Appetite!
