Crofton On Wells

January 30, 2012

I’m glad you all enjoyed my 2012 book list! Looking forward to crossing off some stellar reads. My weekend was filled with a lot of writing (some new thoughts and direction on my book have me very excited). On Saturday, Bobby and I took a break from our to-dos and visited Crofton On Wells.

To Read In Twenty Twelve

January 28, 2012

You all know I’m a big fan of reading and writing, but so far my talk of books has been limited to reviews and random polls of what you’re currently reading. After a morning filled with Pinterest – a dangerously addictive site – I’ve decided it would be fun to create a “to-read” list for [...]

I’m A Proud Wife

January 25, 2012

Last night was the perfect occasion for dusting off a bit o’ bubbly. (Note: I wasn’t joking about dusting it off. Clearly, it had been biding it’s time. Still delicious, though!) Bobby arrived home with fantastic news: he was officially promoted at work! Considering the fact that he truly enjoys his job – and works [...]

Do You Fondue?

January 24, 2012

Why yes, yes I do. Actually, I had never been to a fondue restaurant until Sunday night.

Claire Bear

January 18, 2012

…the frog? We are back after a wonderful long weekend in Minnesota with the nieces pieces! Bobby and I left last Thursday afternoon for a trip to visit his parents. Our three favorite Kansans were there, too: Susan, Adam and baby Claire! It was truly fantastic to see Claire again. Though I follow all of [...]

I Am Mellow.

January 12, 2012

On Tuesday I was given the opportunity to participate in a tasting of Starbucks new Blonde Roast coffee. As a Starbucks fan, in addition to being one who never shies away from a cup o’ joe, I happily made my way to the location on Oak and Rush with Jill to see what all the [...]
