Could get used to this boat life! Will be posting a Croatia guide on the blog soon. In the meantime, added a “Croatia” section in IG highlights. We actually just arrived in NICE and it’s not all fun and games around here... we’re on our 3rd hour of waiting for a rental car, but hoping we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled yacht-life programming soon! 🤣🤣🤣#AintTooProudToTravel •

I’ve yet to find a great cheese plate in Croatia, but the good news is that we’re headed to France in a few days and I’m sure to have one there... might even set up our own picnic (like this) in the lavender fields. The possibilities are endless! #AintTooProudToCheese •

I could get used to this island life! Hvar was perfect. A nice mix of relaxing on these bright orange lounge chairs AND adventuring on the open sea, including a trip to Vis, The Green Cave & The Blue Cave! More highlights on Instagram Stories.
@hotel.podstine, you were perfect! Thanks @donovan_s for the great recco. •

I’m heading to Croatia today and can’t wait for a fun little vacation! I’ll still be posting cheese pics while I’m away, including a 4th of July board with fun red, white & blue ideas for your gatherings. Hopefully you’ll put up with some scenes from the trip too!! We’ll be in Split, Hvar and Debrovnik (then the South of France for a dear friend’s wedding). Don’t hesitate to send recommendations. 😃 #AintTooProudToCheese •

Happy Father’s Day to the guy who anonymously places my business cards in the cheese aisles at Ralph’s and Von’s (even though that has nothing to do with my business strategy)!! You’re the bestest, Dad! I am who I am because of your love and support. 💙💙💙

FATHER’S DAY BOARD!! Head on over to IG stories to see the full how-to, including nostalgic dad items like cracker jacks, soda pop gummies & peanuts in the shell! Thank you to everyone for their ideas...I definitely used many of them for inspo here.
I hope all the amazing fathers out there have a wonderful day tomorrow! I’m headed to the movies with mine (our holiday tradition). And to those who have lost their fathers, have sick fathers, complicated fathers, estranged fathers ... to those who are eternally grieving... I’m sending you a little extra love this weekend! 😘😘😘 #AintTooProudToCheese •

Rainbow boards 4 LYFE! 🧀🌈 Happy Sunday and #LAPRIDE. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 PS- thanks everyone for the loving & supportive comments on my last post. I read each and every one of them (while tearing up-obvi) and will respond soon. PPS- my only regret about this board was cutting that pesto Gouda wayyyyy too thin. 🧀💛🧀#AintTooProudToCheese •

Just yesterday, I was asked by my therapist if I wanted to consider medication again. I share because It’s clearly time to talk more about Mental Health. The more we share, the more people know they’re not alone...the more people will hopefully recognize a person’s struggle. I’m lucky I have a father that recognized the signs of anxiety and suggested therapy when I was 18. I’m grateful for wonderful therapists that have educated, advised and given me the tools to deal with my anxiety since then. I rely on these tools each and every day to check myself, to understand where I’m at and if I need more help (be that medication or otherwise). The reason medication was brought up most recently is because I shared that I still cry most days about a break-up from a long term relationship that happened 9 months ago. I cry because I’m still angry. I cry because I’m overwhelmed. I cry because I want a family and I’m scared that I won’t get that. Right now, I feel these emotions are still appropriate and “normal” for the type of person I am (emotional by nature). Right now, they don’t affect my work or social life. But I’m so glad I have developed the self-awareness to know if that turns. I think we need a “Me Too”- type movement for Anxiety & Depression. So many of us function beautifully in the world, despite it and that should be celebrated. 💁‍♀️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️💁‍♂️
Today, my heart goes out to Anthony Bourdain’s family and to all his fans. Especially to my dad, one of his biggest fans. I’m sad I won’t be getting those calls/texts/emails about a new Bourdain episode in some epic country that I MUST WATCH!
If you or someone you know needs help, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). #anthonybourdain #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness

You asked for it... more labels! Here’s a closer look at The Mother’s Day board that could easily be re-created for something girly like a bachelorette party or baby shower 💗. Next on the agenda is a FATHER’S DAY BOARD and I’d love to hear your ideas (please)! It will be more masculine (more blues and greens) with a mix of things my dad loves like blue cheese, pretzels & pistachios. Any ideas of things I can add without it being too much a dad caricature? Are beernuts too far? Any good cheeses that incorporate beers in them? #AintTooProudToCheese •
