Today, I want to talk about belts and mouse ears. Toby and I had been planning to go to Disneyland for Valentine’s Day, but a bunch of work things came up, and we weren’t able to go. Work (his and mine) kept getting in the way every weekend since, but we finally made it to see […]
Even though I’ve had the opportunity to travel to some really awesome places for work, I don’t usually have much free time in the places I visit. Sometimes, I don’t even have time to eat a proper meal! But even when my schedule is packed, I try to make a little time to get out and explore […]
According to movies and TV, Las Vegas is all about drinking, gambling, waking up with a tiger in your bathroom and marrying people you’ve known for less than 12 hours. But though Sin City is defined by slot machines, expensive drinks and general debauchery, you don’t have to subsist on cocktail olives and shady buffet […]
I’ve been a Britney fan since her chunky heel-tapping, pigtail- and thigh-high-wearing, basketball-hugging days, when the “…Baby One More Time” video was on near-constant repeat on “The Box” — a music video channel we got in the dorms. The summer after I graduated from college, my fellow interns and I would play the “Britney” album on […]
Just about everyone knows about the awesomeness of the San Diego Zoo, but I hadn’t heard of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park until we moved here. We first went about a year ago, but I had been wanting to go back to see the recently completed Tiger Trail, and to see the baby rhino. […]
Several years ago, after I had run a few 5Ks, I decided to increase my mileage a bit and train for a 10K. Not long after, a good friend of Toby’s told us he was going to run a half marathon to help raise money for cystic fibrosis research and the children’s hospital that Toby’s […]
I hope you all had a fantastic New Year’s Eve and are having a fabulous 2015 so far! I am going to start a series of resolution-themed posts tomorrow, but first I wanted to share some photos and thoughts from one more holiday tea! The Townsend Hotel is a crazy-beautiful, opulent hotel in Birmingham, Michigan. […]
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas! We are having a fun and relaxing time in Michigan, and we went to see the awesome Christmas lights (all 5 million of them!) at the Detroit Zoo the other night. It hasn’t been as cold as it normally is around here, but winter nights in Detroit […]
My mom and I typically go to tea during our girls’ shopping weekend, but we couldn’t get a reservation when we were in Phoenix this year, so we decided to go in Michigan instead. We actually really lucked out when someone canceled their reservation at the Royal Park — an absolutely gorgeous hotel in Rochester […]
If you live near Phoenix or are traveling there in the next week, you have to go see the luminaries at the Desert Botanical Garden. We lived in Arizona for 13 years, but had never gone to see the luminaries, so when my mom and I went to Scottsdale for our girls’ shopping trip, my […]
