I don’t even know where to begin but I’ll warn you, this post will be a long one! Ragnar Del Sol was a thrilling, challenging, exciting, nerve-wracking and unbelievably fun 36 hours of my life.

A Different Kind Of Hustle
For two years, the end of February meant Hustle Up the Hancock. Bobby and I loved racing up 94 flights of stairs in 2011 and 2012. The reward was an unparalleled view of our favorite big city. Not to mention a pretty medal and the pride of knowing we’d achieved something pretty cool. It was […]
Wining + Dining: Napa Girl’s Trip Part IV
Thanks to the wonder that is Facebook, I’ve now learned that February 18 is National Wine Drinking Day.

We’re nearly done with season one and as hooked as everyone who watches. I picked up a bottle of Domaine Carneros Brut […]

If you are celebrating Valentine’s Day, I hope it’s wonderful. If you’re not a fan, then happy Thursday! Last weekend I […]
Book Review: Blackberry Winter by Sarah Jio
Whenever I fall in love with a new book, I immediately Google the author to read their backstory. It sort of follows along with my obsession with learning where book ideas come from – I love hearing about the author’s “big break,” learning whether they’ve written any other books and discovering what they have planned […]
February Festivities
Hello, February! I’m already feeling the love this month, courtesy of Michaels. I had to stop myself from picking up an Easter-themed door hanging, too. One holiday at a time. Although I will say that the coupons on the Michaels app make it hard to resist (and no, Michaels did not ask me to say […]
