My New Year’s Resolutions

Happy 2023, friends! I have a very good feeling about the year to come and thought I’d share some changes that I’m making. I do posts like this most years, mainly for the accountability factor. I always write hefty lists of resolutions and I’m usually able to keep them. Here’s what’s on the docket for 2023. Reduce dairy. I started working with an amazing naturopath and she suggested that I…

Where You MUST Nab a Reservation for DC Restaurant Week.

I LOVE Restaurant Week. It’s seriously one of my favorite DC traditions and really shines a bright light on an otherwise drab month of January. Today I thought I’d share some of my favorite places that I’ve been that are participating in Restaurant Week. It starts on Monday, so make sure to make your reservations ASAP! Places I’ve Been: Zaytinya by Jose Andres (City Center) Without a doubt, this is…

2022 in Review

What a great year! Enjoy my trip down memory lane! January I started the year off with becoming a crazy mall walker. I remember January 2022 being VERY cold and snowy so that was my only option for walking. I have since fallen out of the regular habit but really enjoyed listening to audiobooks while walking laps around the mall like an old person. I also stopped in B&N on…

A Case for Christmas Cards

Last week completely and utterly sucked. I was sick, missed three days of work (which drives me bonkers) and was having an all-out pity party. The most exciting parts of my day were when Door Dash brought me Chick Fil A and when the mail arrived. I love getting the mail. Always have. During Covid, I made it a point to send a few cards a week and it was…

My 2022 Christmas List

I loooove reading wish lists from other people. Perhaps that’s weird and you think I’m way too high maintenance for sharing this but my goal here is to inspire you to create yours AND help buy for the high maintenance women in your life. Everything on here is either something I’m asking for this year OR something I already own and love. Enjoy! Ugg Minis: I miss my Uggs. There.…

Aloha! My Hawaii Travel Diary

I’m pretty much off of social media so many of you don’t know that I went to Hawaii in early October! I went to see a college friend who’s living there (her husband is in the Navy and is stationed at Pearl Harbor) and another college friend flew out from Phoenix to meet us. It was a great time and well worth the 12 hour (gag) flight. I loved Hawaii…

Six Unique Ways to Honor the Dead in November

Did you know that November is the traditional month to honor the dead? In Mexico and many other Latin countries, Day of the Dead altars stay up the entire month. Yes, November is also Thanksgiving month so also a time to be grateful, but I love the reminder to honor the dead AND be thankful for their lives. I’ll also mention that Coco brought the idea of honoring the dead…

My Top Ten Must-Do Holiday Things in the DC Area

I have learned to love the holidays in the DC area. For many years, all I wanted to do was get home to Cleveland and celebrate the entirety of the season there. Now I not only embrace Christmastime in DC but I *almost* prefer it to a Cleveland Christmastime.. There’s so much to do! Obviously there are stereotypical things like the National Christmas Tree, the Christmas tree near the Capitol,…

Life Lately

I’ve pretty much been off of all social media since March and am loving it. One drawback, however, is that I’ve fallen out of touch with people. Perhaps I’ll be back eventually but for now, the hiatus has been great. I must say that I kind of love that the only people who know about my goings-on are the people who are actually in my life. Frankly, the questions I’ve…

Why You, (Yes You) Should Consider a Restaurant Side Hustle

This time last year was a really rough time. I was going through a bit of a career transition (partially by choice, partially not by choice), which lead me to officially launch the business I’d been teetering with for years. If you know anything about launching a business, you know it can be a slow process. While I did already have a base of clients, it was not *quite* enough…
