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…

My trip to Philly gave me enough to fill up almost two “3 on Thursday” posts. You may not want to hear any more about my trip, but during a week as busy as mine, I like to be reminded of my recent relaxation. The background of this week’s post shows off what was probably…
