heidi's hiatus




Welcome! I am back onto the blogging bandwagon after a much too long hiatus. No, I have not been living under a rock or hiding in a brown paper bag. Actually, I have been a busy little bee, and not only have I revived my blog, I have revamped it too! Do you like the new look?!

Since my last post, way back in the dead of winter, I have embarked on some exciting journeys. I got the wonderful opportunity to visit my sister, Allegra, in France. As well as, taking a weekend trip to the exciting, exotic and artsy city of Barcelona. This amazingly large and extravagant Spanish city blew me away. It is by far one of my favorite places I have ever gotten the chance to experience! Check out a few of my favorite photos from my trip...
