I’m all about adventures – trying new things and seeing where life takes me. So far, this trust in taking advantage of things that come my way has not steered me wrong. And so, I’m off on another adventure… Continue reading

(Not Enough) Time in Chicago
I recently went to Chicago for a work conference, and was amazed at how beautiful the city is! I’ve been once before, but I was about 12 years old.
We stayed at the Holiday Inn at the Merchandise Mart and the views were fabulous, the weather was perfect and I only wish I’d had more time! Continue reading
CLT to the ATL: Part 1
It was so wonderful to have my friends Lindsey and Dan come for a visit last weekend with their sweet baby Adeline and their dog Nya. Lindsey and I have known each other since middle school, but have become much closer over the years, especially since she lives in Charlotte, NC and it’s not far for visits a few times a year.
The bf and I were busy all week re-doing the guest bathroom, so we were more than happy for a weekend of fun! When they arrived on Friday evening, the dogs went crazy! Stella and Nya are BFFs, and Chelsea was more than happy to get in on the play. Continue reading
A Birthday, Sushi, Beer, and a Lake
We had an epic birthday weekend for the bf, which all started with some gourmet chocolate chunk cookies I baked him. I also got him a new Capsule wallet and some sweet Bluetooth headphones. It was his first time celebrating his birthday with me, and I wanted it to be special. Continue reading
Big Fun in The Big Easy
Our friends David and Amanda moved from Atlanta to New Orleans last fall, and we’ve been dying to visit them. Neither the bf or I have spent much time in the Big Easy, and we thought it would be great to experience the city with people who live there. We took advantage of the long Memorial Day weekend, and drove down on Friday after lunch. Continue reading
A Weekend Filled With Southern Charm in Savannah
Sean and I went to Savannah for an extended visit where I met his mom and stepdad for the first time. They drove up from Florida and stayed in a hotel downtown while Sean and I stayed with my friend Ryan at his house in Ardsley Park.
We had an action-packed, fun-filled long weekend, and I was NOT ready to leave that beautiful city when Sunday arrived. But I know we’ll be back soon, and I’ve got plenty of stories and photos to hold me over. Continue reading
Highlights from Denver: Snow, Art, Beer, and Food
The bf and I recently returned from a trip to Denver to visit one of his oldest and closest friends. I’d been to Denver as a little kid, so I was excited to be going somewhere “new” and to see and experience a different city. It’s been a long time since I’ve been out West, and I looked forward to nice weather, scenic views, and the vibrant, free-spirited culture I’d heard so much about.
I had a great time, and wanted to share some of the highlights from this whirlwind trip: Continue reading
Healthy Eats for the Air
I recently wrote a post about eating healthy on road trips, which is pretty easy because I can take whatever I want and have plenty of space for coolers in my car. But what about when flying? I’ve never liked eating at airports for cost reasons, but on my recent trip to Denver I had to make sure everything I packed was healthy, too.
Luckily, I’d recently found some great, healthful, and delicious items that I thought would be very travel-friendly and that the bf would love. Check out the list…. Continue reading
