Over the Thanksgiving holiday, the man and I trekked north to Cleveland to spend a few days with his family. His mom prepared a gorgeous feast as usual, and after a couple of days full of turkey and stuffing (and pie... so much pie!!), I was craving something a little more... not ...
The Parker Palm Springs
It's taken quite a while to get my thoughts in order about our stay at the Parker. Never have I been at a resort that was so perfect in so many ways.
When I knew that a long stay in Palm Springs was a possibility, the first thing I wanted to focus on was a spot to stay that was quiet, almost ...
6 Days in Palm Springs, California
Friends, I'm writing to you today with tears in my eyes, as I sit at the Palm Springs International Airport (aka: the cutest and friendliest airport in the world!), waiting on our flight home.
Bryan and I travel a lot. 4-5 times a year to Chicago, Vegas weekends, holiday jaunts to visit family ...
Greetings from California!
Sweet readers, greetings to you from beautiful, sleepy, perfect, and beautiful Palm Springs, California!
The man and I left the house to head to the west coast on Friday night, and- after spending a few days tooling around Sierra Madre and charming downtown Pasadena with friends- we drove a ...
Chicago Recap
July 4th always finds us in Chicago to celebrate my birthday, spend some time on the beach, and try to turn off the phones for a few days. I try to take as many photos as possible, eat as much as I can manage, and get in a little birthday shopping. This month's trip was a success on all accounts, ...
On Chicago
"Welcome home."
That's the greeting I hear when I walk into Carmine's on Rush, when I check into the Ambassador, when I see Sean, our valet. "Welcome home." For years, we've said there's something about Chicago. Bryan loves that the city, the pockets of culture, the events, and pro sports ...
Denver Botanic Gardens
The morning of June 12th was an early one. My alarm went off at 3am, in preparation for a friend and colleague to swing by and pick me up on the way to the airport at 4:15. A quick, 5:30 flight later, we walked out of Denver International Airport and desperately needed food and a few minutes to ...
Nashville: the Plantations, the Art
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 ...
A Chicago Weekend Recap
Every Spring, the man and I head North to Chicago for a long weekend of fun with friends, a little shopping, and a lot of food. Last Wednesday, we left Louisville early afternoon, and pulled into Chicago just in time to greet a friend at Ambassador Hotel and head to dinner.
Our wanderings ...
