I have to admit I didn’t realize when I put this outfit together that it was stars + stripes. I just wanted to wear some of my new Christmas clothes. Only when I started looking at these photos did I realize that the theme of the outfit matched my place of employment. I wore this […]
Lest you think all we did in San Francisco was shop and drink tea (sounds like my normal day…), I wanted to share some of our other photos and activities from our trip. The first night in town, we ate dinner at Wayfare Tavern — Tyler Florence’s restaurant. We started with deviled eggs, then I […]
You KNEW my mom and I were going to go to tea during our girls weekend in San Francisco, right? It looks like there are several places for afternoon tea, but we chose The Rotunda at Neiman Marcus. It was actually a little weird, because my mom made the reservation online and there was some […]
My mom and I went to San Francisco this weekend for a girls weekend of shopping, sightseeing, eating… and more shopping. We actually lived in the Bay area for a few years when I was little, but I was so young that I don’t really remember it. And the last (and only other) time I […]
This is the kind of outfit that really isn’t necessary in San Diego, but perfect for a snowy Thanksgiving in Detroit. I’m not a fan of cold weather, but I do love warm, fuzzy flannels, wooly sweaters and boots. Especially when the sweater is bedazzled and the boots are covered in flowers. As you know, […]
We went from a sunny 70 degrees to 23 degrees in just a few hours yesterday… and somehow managed to run 6.2 miles in the snow this morning without slipping and falling. And I got to wear my tutu! I got some compliments on the tutu while I was running, and while it did […]
Two hundred and thirty-eight years ago today, the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution to establish the Continental Marines. According to Marine Corps lore, they conducted their first enlistment drive in a bar in Philadelphia, Tun Tavern. Nowadays, the Marines celebrate their birthday with ceremonies, cake (and usually beer) all over the world — and, […]
As I mentioned, we went to Kentucky this past weekend for Toby’s homecoming. It was actually the first time I’ve seen his alma mater — we’ve been wanting to go, but hadn’t been able to until this year, when one of his good friends was being inducted into Centre’s athletic hall of fame. I was […]
Happy Monday, y’all! We got lucky the other day when we were driving from Northern Kentucky down to Danville for Toby’s homecoming — it was an absolutely perfect day. So we decided to stop near Keeneland and take some photos with the horses. Obviously I was dressed pretty casually — we had brunch at Toby’s […]
If you’ve been near just about any body of water in the United States in the past year or two, you’ve probably seen people standing on boards, paddling around. I’m not sure when it became a thing, but I saw tons of people doing it in Hawaii last year and it’s hugely popular in the […]
