I never considered myself a CIGARETTE SMOKER…until I actually tried to quit for good and realized, yep I’m a nicotine addict. Starting the habit in high school, I thought I was SO COOL, especially since all of my friends smoked and it was just the norm for everyone to be surrounded in a haze of smoke. Fast forward to college, I actually met my best … Continue reading top ten tuesday: nix the nicotine
Craig and I are not really “sit around a resort” type of people. And don’t think I’m saying that in a bragging manner, I WISH we were resort type of people because we tend to run ourselves ragged on every vacation. But alas that is the man I married, and apparently I’m stuck with him for life. For our honeymoon, we wanted to do something uniquely … Continue reading highway honeymoon
My school offered me the opportunity to teach in the International Baccalaureate Programme this upcoming year (think gifted kids who are beyond gifted), and let me choose from several different locations for training. Amidst amazing places like St. Petersburg and Lake Tahoe, I noticed a new town in a new state I had never visited: Albuquerque, New Mexico. I decided that while I was learning … Continue reading next stop, new mexico
When I realized that my babies aka dogs were not going to be in my wedding, let alone at a kennel (albeit a really nice doggie spa called Wagsworth Manor…), I immediately thought, “I need to plan a vacation for them.” They’ve been to North Carolina, our Delaware beaches, Cape May, New Jersey, and lots of places in New England, so obviously their tastes are … Continue reading doggie destinations: virginia is for (dog) lovers

Hearing mixed reviews of The City That Care Forgot, I was a little hesitant because I’m not the biggest drinker (contrary to what this post will … Continue reading big easy bachelorette
Costa Rica is the perfect destination for a first time excursion out of the United States. With a multitude of activities to enjoy, eco-friendly and conservation-centric lodges and expeditions, an unofficial second language of English, and a laid-back-enjoy-life mentality called Pura Vida, it’s easy to feel like a Tico in no time. We decided to take a 4 day whirlwind trip to La Fortuna, located … Continue reading costa rica chica
New Years is a high stakes holiday. I remember someone telling me once that the way you spend your New Year’s Eve is the way you’ll spend your year, which for me usually means I’ll be constantly snacking, binge-watching Netflix and going to bed early. This year, however, I decided to throw a glam NYE party surrounded by food, friends and fun! Cheers to an … Continue reading erin duh’s nye 🍾
Chicago is the third biggest city in the United States, and full of sights to behold. Between the cultural contributions, beautiful architecture, easy to navigate public transportation and old city feel combined with modern amenities, it’s one of my favorite places I’ve ever visited. We flew out for a quick weekend getaway, and left planning our next trip to do everything we missed! Tips for … Continue reading top ten tuesday: chicago chic
Ever since I decided to start making my costumes, the world of possibilities has seemed endless. I usually start planning the following year’s ensemble November 1st (or really October 28th if I’m being honest), and then force Craig into some male counterpart that he never wants to be, but does because he loves me. We’ve been a Tiffany’s box and gemologist (Craig thought he was … Continue reading toy story: halloween edition
