This past weekend my family and I got together to celebrate us kids with January birthdays. Even though my cousin, my brother, and I turned 31, 30, and 25 respectively- we’re still kids. It’s a state of mind, you see. Saturday we got together for dinner which consisted of my mom’s delicious pulled pork (a… [Read More]
Super Bowl XLIX
Seahawks- you fought a good fight! While some people took the loss a little harder than others, cough– my husband- cough (I love you, Marty!) – it was still a great game that kept us on the edge of our seats up until the very end.

All I can say is THANK GOODNESS it’s… [Read More]

Merry Weekend: Sushi, Wine, & Winterfest
When I was a little girl, Merry, my best friend, lived far away. Although it would have been easy to lose touch at such a young age, we didn’t. I remember telling my mom, “I need to have a Merry weekend.” Because she lived so far away, when she would come to stay with us… [Read More]
