* A throwback post about Switzerland * While staying in Switzerland ( house sitting  - read my main blog here about house sitting) for the summer with my wonderful little girls, I decided to head back to Zürich with them by train. We were staying driving distance away but traveling by public transportation is always so easy and enjoyable (and affordable!) We had visited this gorgeous Swiss city previously on a long layover in route to Cyprus - so we had a small taste of it and knew it was worth revisiting.   I recommend having digital tickets for mass transit - there is a very important note about buying tickets. You cannot get on a train or bus that is not for your exact time. For example, if you get to the bus stop early and want to avoid waiting for 20 minutes for the bus, you cannot hop on the earlier bus if you don't have a ticket for it. You have to wait. So, one way to get around that is to buy the ticket you need when you're at the bus or train stop. Not to worry,...

It's the starting process with the players of doing something about it. In that, I think the players have been very focused based on how they've conducted themselves, and we'll see how we improve upon the stuff that happened Week 1. You either learn from it and it becomes a reason for success, or you fall victim of it for a second game in a row, and that's what we have the decision to make each and every ​ day. Where...

Below are a list of customizable birthing art for your new baby (or, of course, for a family member, co-worker, or whomever) as well as a few customizable art pieces for couples who are happily married. Always a great gift for anniversaries.  To customize any of these pieces just reach out to me on instagram ( @bellakismet ) or here ( or e-mail ). I can print them and ship them to you (shipping is separate from the purchase price) or you can order it as a digital print and you can print it at any print shop locally to you and on any surface you'd like - whether a canvas, framed art piece, printed on cards, metal, holiday cards, etc. 

I love traveling around the world - and taking photos as the adventures unfold. Below are a few (of course not all) of select travel photos. This collection features photography from Italy (Tuscany, Capri, and Sicily), the gorgeous country of Cyprus, Switzerland, and Spain.  Prints are available on two platforms - the methods for printing are different and so the investment reflects the differences. Original limited edition signed prints are also available (by request).  Sicilian Tranquility at Sea (Sicilia, Italia)  Prints available on FAA here || Prints on Saatchi Art here Rustic Home in Florence Italy Prints on FAA here || Prints on Saatchi Art here Capri, Italy Prints on FAA here   Il Duomo Di Firenze (photographed in Florence, Italy) Prints on FAA here || Prints on Saatchi Art here Colors of Capri ( Photographed in Capri, Italia )  Prints on FAA here || Prints on Saatchi Art here Sailing Cyprus (photographed in Cavo Greco, Cyprus) Prints on FAA here ||...

Throwback Travel Diary --  Leaving Palm Beach and heading to New York and then across the pond to Ireland! I recently went to Ireland for the first time. I had always dreamed of going to Ireland - the Emerald Isle . I knew nothing of Ireland though other than the superficial things I learned about American-Irish celebrations of St. Patty's Day. I knew there was much more to it though and wanted to learn. When I was in the Army and deployed to Iraq, I had stumbled upon an absolute gem of a book called  Round Ireland with a Fridge  by Tony Hawks sealed the deal for me -- I loved his book and decided Ireland was a must-visit. A friend ( fellow Soldier ) of mine who was stationed in Germany asked me if I wanted to go with him to ... somewhere in Europe. He asked where I wanted to go and I said, "Take me to Dublin!" Now, part of the reason for wanting to go to Dublin was that it was a shorter flight than traveling elsewhere in Europe. The further south I'd go, the ...
