Greetings from DC, land of the free, home of the brave and currently run by the clinically insane. When I mentioned to people our Girls Trip was tackling DC this year, the eyebrows raised and the expressions were puzzled. See that famous guy in the gif there? Yeah, that’s the face; I saw it often. But for our group … [Read more]

Through the years I’ve found the easiest stories to write about are my … [Read more]
The absolute highlight of our “San Fran with the Fam” girls trip was hands down the day we spent touring Napa Valley. We arrived thirsty, we left cloudy.

Springtime in New York and the eating was good. So, so good. Spending six days in NYC gave us plenty of chances to taste what the city had to offer, and boy, did we leave impressed. And full!
