This weekend is the only one without a wedding attached to it and I’m excited to be able to go to sleep and wake up in my own bed every night! On our last day in New Orleans two weeks ago, Liz, Bridge, and I spent all our time walking Magazine Street. It was an…

I’m a fan of beer halls and their long tables, huge beers, and lederhosen. You pretty much know what you’re gonna get and there’s some comfort in that. I will say, however, that Reichenbach Hall does it just a bit better because they have more options. The additional choices don’t make it any less German…there’s just…

Ever feel like you need to get something off your chest? Sometimes I’ve just gotta talk it out. That’s why I’ve decided to do a monthly feature called “Thoughts On…” At the beginning of the month, I’ll provide a prompt to stimulate discussion. The point is to get us to put our thoughts out there…

Today I am off to Connecticut for a wedding. This time, we’re celebrating Albert’s best friend and he will be the best man. I can’t wait to hear his speech and tear up the dance floor! Michelle’s wedding this past weekend was held at Immaculate Conception Church. It was breathtaking. Not an ounce of decoration…

A coquette is a coy flirt, which is just how Bridge, Liz, and I wanted to feel on our last night in New Orleans. With the boyfriends/husbands at home, we wanted to flirt with the town…but it’s a mature flirt – more Magazine Street than Bourbon Street. Bridget’s local foodie friend recommended the farm to…

The morning after a wedding you want greasy food and you want it immediately. We didn’t have to walk far from our hotel to find Warehouse Grille, which satisfied our need for food and also our need for a little hair of the dog thanks to their $10 bottomless brunch deal. The menu at Warehouse…

Sometimes I think there’s a place you’ve just got to know about and my Public Service Announcements (PSAs) will give you the full skinny. When people think makeup, they generally think Sephora. Sephora is amazing, but there is a little known store in Hell’s Kitchen that has become my new go-to. I am by no means…
