Happy New Year! Our New Year’s Eve was quite uneventful but suited us just fine since we are a little tired from all of the traveling. At 11:35pm I decided to actually write down all of my resolutions and goals, scribbling the last few just before midnight. This is the first time that I have […]

I hope you are all enjoying your holidays. Only five days after we returned from Australia we were off to Philadelphia then to a small town in Ohio to visit Jon’s family. I realized during the brief interval in Houston that my time management skills need quite a brush up. So I apologize for leaving […]

We’re back from our trip to Australia. It was absolutely wonderful to spend time with family and catch-up with some of my oldest and dearest friends. Per Jon’s request, we did not do much sight seeing in Sydney. Instead we hit up a few beaches, ate lots of seafood at Doyle’s, celebrated my grandmother’s 80th […]

By the time you read this we will probably be in the middle of our 17.5 hour journey to Australia (3.5 hours to LA from Houston then a 14 hour non-stop flight to Sydney).

There has been a lot of hype surrounding director Baz Luhrmann’s latest project because the countryside of Australia has yet to be the setting or character of a film of this magnitude. […]

By now you may have already heard about Jude’s project, do not leave unattended, which involves twenty traveling diaries. These special notebooks are making their way from artist-to-blogger-to-mother-to-friend and each person is free to collage, write, or draw in it until the book is sent to the next contributor. Part of the fun is the […]

On Wednesday night my friend, Kelly, and I put on our brave faces as we entered the yoga studio for a piyo class — a combination between yoga and pilates. My sister’s studio calls it yogalates but I am not entirely sure if it is the same thing.

No, this is not me. It’s not […]

Last night we got a glimpse of the Project Runway designers’ final collections that will be making their way down the crisp, white runway at Bryant Park. I cannot recall whether I was more excited to see Christian’s “fierce” collection in Season 4 or now Leanne’s wave-inspired garments this season. But last night’s episode made […]
