February 1, 2012

Happy February! I’m thrilled to share that I will be participating in #FebPhotoADay, a challenge I came across on – did you guess it? – Pinterest the other day, and have been excited for ever since.

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.

Do You Fondue?

January 24, 2012

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

Unfortunately, the dim lighting left me [...]

Now there [...]

Mi Casa Es Tsukasa

March 27, 2011

I ventured into new restaurant territory last night. My friend Lauren has been raving about Tsukasa for weeks. A Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant? Doesn’t take much to convince me to try it out (ahem, Benihana). And so, last night, we did. Gorgeous image courtesy of Tsukasa’s Facebook Page The menu looked a lot like what you [...]

{Not In My Back} Yard House

January 27, 2011

Hi Friends!! Is it Thursday already? What a week. I’m actually very excited for tonight because I am taking Bobby out on a date. I gave him tickets to see Dralion by Cirque du Soleil for Christmas and we are off to the the-a-ter (do I sound cultured?) tonight. Yes, it sounds like a self-serving [...]
