It’s no secret Portland’s food scene is off the charts. Seriously. Off. The. Charts. I’ve been wanting to write a “New in Town” series for a while and share what I’ve discovered – or have been introduced to – since moving to Portland. I’ll do my best to note where I’ve been, but bear with me as I go through this in a […]

Oh. My. Goodness. I swear I’m still alive. I took a much-needed hiatus this summer, which was literally and figuratively filled with soaking in the sun and playing in the sand while taking breaks from the surf (and chaos). If you took a peek at my Instagram feed (I hope you did!!), you saw the summer kicked off with the annual ladies trip to Vegas; a week […]

With Spring Break in mind, here are this week’s five favorite things. Clockwise, from the top right: 1) I love London Tierney’s tote bags. Every single one is made with a lot of love; London designs and hand paints pattern, which is then screen-printed with an eco-friendly water based inks on duck canvas. Incredibly sturdy and perfect for carting around the family’s goods in style […]

Tomorrow I’m leaving for a ladies’ weekend in Vegas! While I’m looking forward to relaxing poolside and sleeping in, I’m downright thrilled one of the ladies, after receiving everyone’s input, made magic happen by taking care of *all* of our dinner and club reservations. Seriously folks. This is the stuff of dreams and why she ranks as awesomesauce […]

The Mister and I are on a much needed getaway this week to the west side of Oahu, thanks to the combined efforts of Mimi, Papa and Gigi watching the boys and dear friends housesitting (seriously, it’s a village effort). Even though this was planned late last summer, it couldn’t have come at a better […]

If you happened to glance at my Twitter feed yesterday, you might have noticed A) actual activity thanks to B) a small conversation between the ever-so-helpful Kim Wardell and myself about a conference we’re heading to next week (yes, I was the one using #AltFirstTimer). In short the conference, Alt Summit SLC, is for bloggers primarily in […]
