Each summer, as we venture North to Chicago, I can feel my heartbeat a little stronger. As soon as I glimpse that first sight of the skyline from the Dan Ryan when we drive in, I feel like I'm home. Each morning, stuck on Louisville time, I wake up in the 5 o'clock hour, and make my way the block ...
Bringing it Home: How to Not Lose Sight of your Favorite Place(s)
It's no secret that the man and I are in love with Palm Springs. Since we began vacationing there several years ago, our annual September jaunt is how we keep track of the years... Not our anniversary, not NYE, but the view of the mountains and dinner at Sandfish. We always come home to the ...
A Very Belated Review of Talavera, Palm Springs
When the man and I began planning our annual trip out west in September, our usual spot- The Parker- was 100% booked. Heart broken, I began searching for a place to substitute. We've looked at vintage spots like The Ingleside Inn in the past (home to Melvyn's restaurant, one of our favorites), and ...
A Quick Weekend in New Orleans
The last time I was in New Orleans was in 1996, I believe. This was before Katrina rocked the city. Before I was old enough to partake in a good time on Bourbon Street. It's where I ate my first crawfish, first fell in love with architecture, and first saw folks who let their freak flags fly. I ...
Our Always Airbnb
Each Summer's end for several years now, the Hubbo and I head to Southern California to completely unplug for 10 days. My obsession with Palm Springs started with a perusing of Slim Aarons photos and stories on the Kaufmann Desert House, so we finally planned our first trip out several years ago. ...
City Favorites: Chicago
Covid threw such a wrench into so many lives for so many reasons. Jobs were lost, lives were lost. Celebrations of love, life had to be cancelled or postponed. We had to adapt in so many ways; we learned how to work from home, how to coach our kids through NTI and the lack of socialization. It's ...
Staycationing at 21c Louisville
I look for any excuse to grab some room service in feetie pajamas, cuddle up with a couple of books and unplug. I'm a textbook introvert. I may be an extroverted introvert- I can turn on the charm and the funny when I need to, but at my core, I recharge from being home, no matter where home is. ...
City Favorites: Palm Springs
Truth be told, I had plans to take off on Monday and head back to my favorite place for a few days. Knowing that California is so hard hit at the moment with Coronavirus lockdown, and knowing that I'm this close to going over budget on renovation, I decided to stay home instead. I won't lie that I'm ...
City Favorites: Louisville
Perhaps the worst thing in the world to write about right now is travel. I'm not sure where all of you are, sweet readers, but here in Kentucky, today brings us another round of shut downs. School is back to home full time, offices are supposed to be operating at a third of their capacity, and ...
