Happy Mother’s Day! I love any time I get to spend with my mom. This time of year is extra special because I was born on the Saturday before Mother’s Day, and sometimes my birthday even falls on the holiday. It makes it doubly fun to celebrate when my mom is the reason I’m here […]

A Quarter Century
Yesterday was an excellent day. I turned 25 and my phone turned back time. That, my friends, is a POP phone – very business appropriate. I first came across it in a SELF Magazine fashion spread with Emmy Rossum. Basically, you attach it to your cell phone or anything with a headset plug in and […]
Book Review: Insurgent by Veronica Roth
I’m so excited to talk about Insurgent! You may recall my review of Divergent a few months ago woah, way back in September? Honestly, where does time GO? Anyway, this is the next installment of Veronica Roth’s trilogy, and when it was released on May 1, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. […]
Early Birdies + Birthdays

Technically I turn 25 on Wednesday, May 9, but Bobby treated me to an awesome early bird present with a tee time on the Chick Evans course Saturday afternoon. We even returned to the scene […]

Book Review: Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

Mountain Magic Mania
They knew what they were doing when they named it Mountain Magic. It was a golf tournament unlike any other! I had fond memories from last year, but being able to experience the fun, challenge and excitement all over again was a real treat. And it was extra special because this year…we came out of […]
Mountain Magic Reprise
Does this look like a pair ready to conquer a golf tournament? Not sure about that, but we’re definitely ready to conquer something. Oh, and I may not have been ready for the first photo. I was too excited about my Kanye West sunglasses. 🙂 Tonight marked the kickoff event for this year’s Mountain Magic […]
