Two weeks ago, I made the few-hour road trip to Nashville, Tennessee to meet up with 19 other Speed Art Museum members, curators, and directors, ready to spend the next couple of days on a whirlwind tour in and around the city. Admittedly, I've been a lover of Nashville since my teens, making the ...
Summer Finds at Mahonia
Summer's arrival in a city like Louisville brings with it the sauna-like qualities of the south. Heat, humidity so thick one can practically swim through it, and mosquitos... so many mosquitos. Fortunately, there's air conditioning, there's bug repellant, and there are the welcome warm weather ...
Speed Art Museum: Patron’s Circle Membership
It's no secret that I've recently become involved at Louisville's Speed Art Museum. The museum, founded in 1925 (by a woman, no less- Hattie Bishop Speed), closed it's doors in 2012 for a major, $50 Million expansion and renovation, opening back to the public just two years ago with a party that ...
Merci
I'm a firm believer that there is always cause to write a thank you note. I realize that hand-written letters aren't as popular as they once were, but you can ask anyone around me, and you'll hear that I'm still a cheerleader for the note. Whether it's an overly formal invite to a girl's night in, ...
On Skincare
I’ve prided myself since high school on taking good care of my skin. I’ve always been pretty smooth, I never had major acne or scarring on my face (other than a few leftover from the third bout of chicken pox when I was 13), and I’ve always been a huge believer of Dove body wash. But, the older ...
Bellaire: 1 Year Later
It was a year ago this Tuesday that the tiny house on Bellaire became mine. I remain in awe of what a wonderful investment and what a sweet little home this old, dilapidated shotgun has become.
On November 1st, we welcomed our first guest, and since, we've stayed almost completely booked, ...
A Derby Weekend Recap
Every May, it seems as if Derby weekend both lasts for a month and passes by in a heartbeat. Missing last year was enough for me to forget how much more alive our city becomes in just the few days prior. Despite the cleaning of our streets, the KDF Marathon, the balloon race, and Thunder Over ...
Sorry I’m Away…
Sweet friends, my sincerest apologies for the lack of a "real" post today, but Derby weekend is upon us here in Louisville, and your girl's feet hurt and her purse is empty, but her tank is full. We are rallying, grabbing a big breakfast, and partying on!
Go, Baby, Go!

Book Review: Bel Canto
I discovered Ann Patchett's work when Commonwealth hit the shelves in 2016. With a striking, simple cover, and a title that nodded to my segment of the universe (we are the Commonwealth of Kentucky, after all), I didn't even read the description inside the cover, but just plopped the book on the ...
