First, apologies for YOLO. I've never used that acronym before and I promise to retire it immediately. The term, that is. The sentiment? Not likely. I've got a little trip planned with three of my besties - a long weekend in New Orleans. I'm rather ridiculously excited. I've never been to this city before, but … Continue reading YOLO – NOLA

Last Run and a good run
This past weekend may have been close to perfect. One of my favorite girls arrived prior to the snow and we settled in to an afternoon of satisfying household tasks. There was cooking, roasting and baking. A tree was agreed upon and chopped down, by me. Later, it was beautifully decorated, not by me. I … Continue reading Last Run and a good run
Moms@Work – November
Here's a summary of what I've been talking about over at my other home on the web... I had a print piece published in the Women@Work magazine. Veteran's Day was honored.

Established in 1986 (!), Nicole's has long been a consistently great spot for a romantic dinner … Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas – Dining Delso
12 Days of Christmas – Dining DelSo
On the 8th day it was time to check out the bar(tenders) at a favorite neighborhood joint - New World Bistro Bar. This place has been such a huge asset to the DelSo area. Seriously, it probably single-handedly started the resurgence of Delaware Avenue when it opened a few years back. I think the appeal … Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas – Dining DelSo
12 Days of Christmas ~ Dining DelSo
On the seventh day, God rested, right? Well, on the 7th day of Christmas, so did I - at Mingle, that is. Here's how it went down... Following a fun run and a delicious cocktail, I knew I needed to get back to the DelSo, park my car for the night and walk somewhere to … Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas ~ Dining DelSo
