The weekend is simply not long enough, and I am neither ready nor prepared to return to work this morning after such a busy past couple of days filled with good food, lovely locations, and quality time with friends and family. It just seems unfair not to have an extra day to rest and ease […]
Every once in a while, something will come across my social media feeds that will stop me in my tracks- be it an incredible looking recipe/dish, a miracle makeup product, a travel destination or a local business I’d never heard of before. Such was the case leading up to this past weekend, when I saw […]
I’ve never had any interest in watching the Kentucky Derby (I’m not a fan of any kind of animal racing,) but year after year I’m invited to stop by “Derby Day” themed parties and get-togethers, be it by friends of co-workers, which usually consist of a lot of snacks, a lot of colorful dresses, and […]
