Hey, it’s summer! Well, not really… but close enough, right? The berries are starting to show up in the market, fresh tomatoes are a little sweeter, the sun is shining brighter and longer...
My little boy turns 11 today! It’s totally crazy. He was just a baby… like yesterday! The scariest part about having an 11 year old is to think that in 7 years this kid will be leaving me...

First of all, you should know that Ginger Beer is not really “beer.” It took me a a couple of hours of tweeting and googling to verify that. I guess I just couldn’t let go of the fa...

Last week I had the unique opportunity of visiting Louisiana for the first time ever! I’m a California girl, so the south is little bit like foreign territory to me. The people, the food and th...
Are you as in love with Seattle as I am? I’ve been there several times, but I feel like I need another 42 1/2 days to explore and really get the lay of the land. Though it might be a fact that ...
