A few weeks back, I finally got around to reading "The Art of Racing the Rain" (Garth Stein). Shame on me, I know, because it has been on my must-read list for a few years now! Once I got sta...
Boats and summer. The wind whipping through your hair, that faint taste of salt. The sense that youre invincible. Theres nothing quite like it. "Being on a boat thats moving through the water, it...
I dont know about you, but brunch is my very favorite meal. While Sunday brunch is the most popular option, I much prefer Saturday brunch because of the sense of possibility. The weekend has just beg...

I have said this more than once, but I will say it again. The key to a good week is having a balanced weekend prior. The balance can be different things at different times. Sometimes, I need a solid,...
Growing up, I remember watching my mother put on her jewelry. She had her everyday pieces that would change intermittently. I remember dainty gold hoops that could be swapped out with gold or sapphir...
I dont bike, but if I did... This would be the weekend to do it. The weather is gorgeous, people. Gorgeous! It practically begs for straw hats, Farmers Market flowers in baskets, fruit-flavored water...
Are you ready for Part Trois? Its short and sweet for a reason--all of it is travel-related. Something about this warm weather is translating into wanderlust... 31. Road trip with friends 32. Don gli...
This weekend, I spent a cozy Saturday night in with my husband and my mother-in-law watching “We Bought a Zoo.” It was a great movie that put me firmly in the Elle Fanning fan camp and go...
"He smiled understandingly--much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It fa...
Its May! When I was younger, May meant the second half of summer, beaches, sunburns, books. When I moved to California, May meant spring, which meant still wearing sweaters to ward off the infamous S...
I will be the first to admit that I am a bit of a crazy candle lady. So much so that we have imposed a purchase limit of one per month, which means that all month long, I basically read through endle...
I have been waiting to write this post, and now I finally can. Schools out for summer, people. The last paper has been turned in, and I can officially say it is The End for Year 1 classes. Sure, I ha...
Oh, the patio, the deck, the whatever-you-want-to-call-it wooden architectural marvel. Come spring and summer time, I love you. Some people like to hike nature trails. Others like to visit botanical ...
Yes, I am in my mid-twenties. And yes, tonight I am going to prom. Well technically grad school is calling it by a different name, but we have to get dolled up and we have to pay for dates. So really...
A year ago on this date, I was mailing letters thanking friends for a fabulous hen party. I had a huge Excel file with at least twelve tabs, one of them labeled "table seating," which ...

In full procrastinating mode, I stumbled across this 2012 Hermes ad and was enthralled. The modern day "Princess and the Pea" with a fabulous side braid and even more fabulous Hermes scarves....
Well, we did it. Cross one thing off the 101 list because we got a puppy! Dr. John Watson is a wonderful sidekick, just like his namesake. He always looks inquisitive, trots along with a little pranc...
For about two-ish years now, I have had the biggest crush on Chicago. It’s a love that my husband (or anyone else, for that matter) cannot understand, but the minute I set foot on city soil two...
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade wind...
After my unlimited month of Pure Barre ended this past weekend, I rejoined the yoga world on Monday. It was a bit of a shock, but I am happy to be back in namaste mode. My friend and I kind of starte...
The weekend is over, and the bemoaning can be heard all over the internet. I will be the first to admit that Monday is not my friend; however, over the years, we have reached a frenemy status. Growin...
Like everyone else, I start looking forward to my weekend by Monday at 3 pm, but this week I really, really needed it to come around as quickly as possible. Its been an insanely productive and hectic...
