• Baltimore Cupcake Camp

    As I mentioned the other day, Toby and I went to cupcake camp on Saturday. I had never heard of cupcake camp, but apparently it’s a thing. The idea is a free place where people can share and eat cupcakes. Attendees had to sign up ahead of time for a free ticket, but not everyone […]

  • New ballet shoes!

    Even better? They were only $4.95. Capezio was having a special. (Unfortunately, the free ballet shoes offer is over, but they are offering free shipping on “fashion legwear” through Sept. 30. If you’re interested, visit capezionewyork.com and use the code CNY at checkout.)

  • Rock me like a hurricane

    Everything was going swimmingly on Saturday. It was windy and rainy and stormy outside, but Toby managed to get my car in the garage (since my Jeep’s hood was smashed by a falling sheet of ice after the blizzard in early 2010 and a tree branch went through the windshield during a crazy thunderstorm last […]

  • Yes.

    So, I’m clearly really behind in my “So You Think You Can Dance” viewing. But I just have to say: I love this song. I love this girl. I love this dance. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzap7Q7ziOY] That’s all.

  • How to send cookies to Afghanistan (or Iraq… or a ship)

    As a military wife, military reporter and friend of many Marines (and a few sailors), I have done a lot of overseas shipping. I send so many baked goods that the owner of the Annapolis Post Box knows me as “The Cookie Lady.” The first time I sent cookies overseas was almost 10 years ago, […]

  • Fun fall fashion

    I know this is shocking, but I always LOVED shopping for back-to-school clothes. It’s really the only time of the year that I remember going and being able to get a lot of new things at once, instead of just a piece here and there. And I always had to have something new for the […]

  • How to avoid green hair

    When I was little, I spent just about every summer day in the pool. A lot of spring and fall days, too. That definitely wreaked havoc on my blond hair. My brother and I had to use UltraSwim shampoo like crazy to get the green out of our hair. Now that I’m older, I don’t […]

  • Surfing

    I have wanted to learn to surf for a really long time. I know I should have done it in North Carolina, but I didn’t want to do it by myself and Toby was deployed most of the summers. So when we were planning our vacation, I said it had to be somewhere we could […]

  • Photos taken while jogging

    First, I want to apologize. I totally meant to set up a bunch of posts to automatically appear while I was on vacation. But I only did two. Then I started packing and cleaning my house and when I was done I realized I should probably sleep at least like, two hours before we tried […]

  • Baby Bulldawg cookies

    One of my best friends recently had a baby. Hilary and I lived across the hall from each other our freshman year of college at University of Georgia, and then lived together for the next three years. Her husband, Matt, is also awesome and is one of the biggest UGA fans I know. So, clearly […]
