Confession Time. I have become obsessed with smoothies lately. I blame it on the bullet I bought for a hella good deal at Bed Bath & Beyond. I mean it’s the blenders fault for making it so gosh-darn easy to mix up some veggies, fruit and whatever I have laying around that sounds good. I […]
Don’t you just love the weekends? I mean, they are the absolute best. Especially when the weather is perfect and nothing has to get done. J has been itching to take a tour at Anheuser-Busch Brewery. …so that’s just what we did. We went with J’s family and met […]
It was a big birthday – this past weekend we celebrated J turning 28. And it’s official – he is one year older than me (well at least for the next 2 months)! It was a full weekend of celebrating him and to be honest, he deserved it. But please, PLEASE do not tell him […]

I am changing a few things around the site over the next few weeks. First up – emailing the most recent post. If you subscribe to receive my updates (and you really, really should) then you probably noticed the email looked a little different. Hopefully all the bugs were worked out before the message was […]
I love wine, pretty landscapes, good friends, and relaxing weekends. Yep. That’s what I love. Any of these mixed in to my days means it’s going to be good. I traveled last weekend with the girls from college for a wine weekend. So this weekend I wanted to take it easy. I wanted to sleep […]
