My blog and social media activity basically ceased last week after my Dad suffered a pretty extreme heart attack early Wednesday morning. Only 2% of people survive the type of attack he had – we are all so incredibly lucky he’s still with us today. He’s doing really well and is so, so strong; there’s no doubt in my mind he’s got many active, happy, and healthy years ahead of him; we’re going to make sure of it.
My Mom has got to be the most incredible woman I’ve ever known. There’s really no questioning that.

Happy Sunday! š
Unfortunately, there’ll be noĀ WIWTW today [I’m sorry!!] It’s been a crazy week + I’m in the process of movingĀ out of my apartment – so myĀ OOTD’s were reallllly not worth documenting. Instead, I wanted to shareĀ a littleĀ gift guide for Mom since Mother’s Day is justĀ 2 weeks away! š
Both sides of my family are Italian; my Mother’sĀ family isĀ from Ischia — a small Island off the coast of Naples, and my Father’s family is from Calabria, the Southern most point of the country + just a hop skip and a jump away from Sicily. We’ve been to Ischia before [it’s stunning] + actually took a quick day trip so my Dad could see this time around, but we were really excited toĀ spend a little time inĀ Calabria + explore our roots!
HappyĀ Wednesday!
I wanted to share some photos from what was probably the most beautiful leg of thisĀ trip. We stayed in Sorrento for 4 days, and while there, we visited Pompeii, Capri, and Amalfi! I tried to choose just a few photos to share from each. š
