My Mom and Allison arrive tonight and the rest of my family and friends will be here tomorrow night and I. Am. So. Excited. I’m pumped for my big 30th birthday celebration, but mostly I’m excited to have all of my most special people in the same place at the same time. I can’t wait to…

New York has a class for absolutely everything, something I learned when I discovered Coursehorse, a class aggregator. They house over 40,000 classes on their website so you can enrich yourself in the matter of any topic under the sun. As you book, you earn points that turn into discounts on future classes.

I have tried many a time to keep a diary, or a journal as the more mature call it. But every time, I give up after a short while. This blog became my outlet, but it’s not a place for me to share deeply personal thoughts. The thing is, I even feel strange sharing the…

I can’t believe there was a time when I was considering not going to Hart’s wedding. I had the best time and was so happy to celebrate such a fun and beautiful occasion with everyone. That said, it has been a whirlwind with this being the fifth wedding in just six weeks, topped off with…

“Sweet & Sour” is my version of that dinner table game where every guest says what the best and worst parts of the day were. As we head into the weekend, I think it’s important to get the bad stuff off your chest and remember the positives as a silver lining and energizing factor. When the…

After a one weekend break in the city, I’m back on the wedding train. I’m excited that at this weekend’s event, I’ll get to see my whole family. I recently participated in a spin class at Crunch called #TotalRequestRide. First of all, if you don’t get the Total Request Live (RIP), aka TRL, reference…that makes…
