St Patrick’s Day has always been highly regarded in my family. How could it not be?

I have a secret love for running in the rain. I think the positive association comes from all those years of spring soccer where field conditions allowed for overzealous slide tackles and everyone wanted to try their hand at goalkeeper.

Read MoreI was off my blogging schedule this week but I’ve got a good excuse. I realized that even in our over-connected world, there comes a time and place to just unplug.

Read More> A girl can dream, right? Maybe someday I will have the talent to be able to show off creations like this for Valentine’s Day. In the meantime I’ll just share a few “wow” treats I’ve been drooling over this week as I search for inspiration. Stay tuned for next week to see what I […]
Read More> What does one do when she gets stuck inside her place for 48 hours thanks to the Blizzard of 2011? Well if you’re this girl, you bake, cook and experiment until you run out of ingredients (or are brave enough to walk the half-block to the grocery store). Then sit back and wonder what […]
