Postcard Jar We're Steve and Ann Teget and we share tips and inspiration to help you live and travel well. Need a little inspiration (and fun) in your feed?
(43)

Then, welcome to Postcard Jar. We’re Ann and Steve Teget and we’re glad you’re here! Postcard Jar is a blog (just a fancy name for our personal website), where we share travel and healthy living inspiration to help you take the next step on your journey. Basically, think of us as your guides to new destinations and unique experiences that will inspire you to live your best life. As lifetime lovers

of travel and learning, we take you to interesting places and show you how to make the most of every trip. And, having recently lost a combined 200+ pounds (thanks to a healthy diet and more movement … don’t worry, we’re not selling anything) we also share our best tips for developing a healthier lifestyle. So, whether it’s road tripping through the Midwest, cruising across the oceans, or figuring out how and where to take a hike, we’re excited for you to join us! As for the name, Postcard Jar - when we travel, we purchase a postcard, jot down a few highlights of our trip, and mail it to ourselves back home. We display our postcards in a large, glass jar that sits on a table in our entryway. It’s a constant reminder of where we’ve been, the experiences we’ve gained, and the memories we’ve made along the way. Thank you for coming along on this journey with us. Always feel free to reach out with a question, comment, or suggestion. We just love hearing from you! Travel well,
Ann and Steve

This is the best (and easiest to make) chocolate pie we've ever had. I'll be making this one in the morning for Thanksgiving at our daughter's house.

The best chocolate pie recipe we've ever found is the one Ann's step-mom shared with her years ago. It is said to have been the one used by Bishop's Buffet in Lincoln, Neb. It is rich and creamy and super easy to make. Even those like me who do not follow recipes well can usually make this recipe su...

We cannot say enough about the fantastic crew on the Ascent this week. They delivered exemplary, personalized service that made us feel like we were coming home.

It has been an absolute joy to see so many of these crew advance in their careers on the ship. Many times this week we were greeted (by name) by crew who remembered us from past cruises. It’s a small detail, but something that always makes on our time on a Celebrity Cruise memorable.

🚢 Sunday we (Steve and Ann Teget) boarded the gorgeous Celebrity Ascent, the flagship of . We’re setting sail for the Dream Vacations National Conference (as well as the Bahamas, Grand Turk, and Grand Cayman)!

Earlier this year (as pictured above), we had the chance to spend a week cruising on the Ascent and she is a beauty. The newest ship in Celebrity’s fleet, she’s an Edge-Class ship that can accommodate 3,260 guests (along with 1,400 crew to pamper them). The ship has 32 restaurants, bars, and lounges serving incredible food and beverages.

We’ll be staying in an AquaClass cabin, and hope to take advantage of the luxury spa services and Sea Thermal Suite. We’re also looking forward to dining in Blu—a restaurant exclusive to AquaClass that features clean cuisine.

Click through some of our photos from last year to see some of our favorite spaces on the ship. What would you like to see more of as we explore the Ascent this week? Let us know in the comments below.

Let's chat about our upcoming group trip to Costa Rica and how you can join us! #efgoaheadtourspartner

Sunrise in Orange Beach is almost indescribable. It's a special, magical time of day. Calming, yet powerful, it leaves you with a sense of awe and optimism about your upcoming day. We took in this morning's sunrise from the balcony of our condo at Turquoise Place by Spectrum Resorts. It was the perfect place to sip a cup of coffee and enjoy one of the most beautiful sights in nature. Are you a sunrise or a sunset person? (Good news...you can actually see BOTH from your balcony here!) #spectrumresortspartner #ALBeachBlogger Visit Alabama Beaches Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Tourism #sunrise

Our Story

We’re Steve and Ann Teget and split our time between a small, rural town in Nebraska and another one in Oklahoma. We love living on The Great Plains, but we also desire to see new places and experience new things. So we travel. And we write authentic stories at www.postcardjar.com about the places we’ve been and the experiences we’ve shared in hopes of influencing others to just #goplaces!

For a long time, we focused on our careers and spent more than two decades in corporate America and public education. Like many others, we ran the rat race year after year and longed for the days when we could take a real vacation without having to worry about checking our emails or answering phone calls. Then, enough was enough. Ann stopped working in 2014 when she was diagnosed with a chronic illness and after months of consideration and prayer, Steve quit his job as a middle school principal in 2017 so we could enjoy more time together and explore some other business opportunities in the travel industry.

For now, we’re taking some time to focus on health, family, ministry, travel, and whatever else makes us smile. We’re glad you’re here and hope you’ll come along on our journey.

You can also follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram.
