This past weekend I had such a nice time with my visitors, my parents. (Hence my day-late post. Monday was a day off for sure!) I always love when they come to town and explore new places with me, try new restaurants and of course, as parents do, help with household projects. I’m missing them… Continue reading Welcome To Wine Country
Well these doors aren’t mine, but I would be completely happy if they were! I recently had time to kill before a flight out of Washington D.C. and when I was thinking about what I would do near the airport, Alexandria popped right into my head. I have heard over the years, from several people, that… Continue reading Come And Knock On My Door

My how time flies. One week ago today I was in the midst of a great vacation in Florida, and now, well, I am stuck back in snowy, cold Chicago. I love my city, don’t get me wrong, but in the middle of frigid temperatures and grey days, it is a good idea to get… Continue reading If The KEY(S) Fits
I’m lucky to have a job (my normal day job outside of the blog!) that takes me all over the U.S., and recently it took me to Cleveland for a conference. While I was excited about the conference and seeing my company’s new office there, I was a little iffy on the location. I had… Continue reading Cleveland Rocks
If you live in the Midwest like me, or anywhere that experiences a true winter, you probably would agree that by the end of January you are in major need of some steady sunshine and a little weather warm up.
