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, ...
Peace and Quiet
As I write, it's 6pm on Sunday night, after three days worth of storms have ripped through our state. I hear that there were more folks without power in Lexington than there were here in Louisville- almost three times as many. We were lucky. We only lost power for 3 hours or so Friday night, and ...
The Guest Room
For the four years we've been in our home, the guest room has gone under a few transitions. First, outfitted with a desk and nightstands I bought from Target for my first apartment, then, when my mom moved in, with a giant recliner, a kitchenette, and her furniture from the farm. When she passed, ...

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 ...
4th of July Tablescape

Pina Coladas
Scorching summer temperatures have me wanting to drink all of the cold things. From a tall, sweating pitcher of iced tea to the feel of cracking open a freezing cold beer, there's something about a cool beverage in the summertime that makes one want to kick their feet up, forget about the humidity, ...
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 ...
