Look who just made his first appearance yesterday at Zoo Miami! My heart is melting. I mean, there really isn’t much that is cuter than a frolicking baby giraffe. You can see more photos on the Zoo’s page on Facebook.
Can you really have a bad day after seeing this?

If you ever question your existence — ever need reassurance of your place in the universe — just watch this video.
In it, astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson answers a question he was asked during an interview with TIME magazine: “What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?”
His answer is nothing short of exquisite.
“So that when I look up at the night sky, and I know that yes we are part of this universe. We are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the universe is in us…
There’s a level of connectivity. That’s really what you want in life. You want to feel connected. You want to feel relevant, wanna feel like you’re a participant… That is precisely what we are, just by being alive.”

Last week, while in Scotland, my travelmates and I had the chance to do something I’ve been dying to try for ages. We went glamping!
This was my surprise to the group, as it was the one location I had kept completely secret from the girls and Aidan. After spending the day at Stirling Castle, I had to hunt around for where we were headed, as I’d forgotten to look up exact directions and it wasn’t in our GPS. Oops! I figured we’d be able to spot it from the road; afterall how could you miss a grand old house with 3 gypsy caravans behind it? See More of Our Glamping Adventure
