I know you should never judge a book by its cover, and the same should be said for restaurants. That said, I’m guilty of both. So it came as no surprise that when the opportunity to try Slurping Turtle came my way, I couldn’t say no. The name, the logo…how could I resist? Slurping Turtle […]

Japonais
Thank you all for the input on my restaurant week post! Last night’s meal at Japonais was great. My friend Lauren was my dinner buddy for the evening. After checking out the poll for the appetizers, it looked as though the Crispy Shrimp & Salmon Maki or the Lobster Rolls (I’m looking at you, Erica!) […]
Stranger Things Have Happened
Thank you all for the sweet comments on my February photo from yesterday. I am glad you also enjoyed Lauren’s guest post as much as I did. She is simply inspiring. I’m currently in St. Louis with my family for the weekend – and I get to meet a certain cutie for the first time […]

It was truly a jam-packed, fun-filled trip! […]

Book Review: Atonement by Ian McEwan
There isn’t much of a pattern with the books I read. One minute I’ll be engrossed in young adult dystopia, the next I’ll be pinning every book by Emily Giffin. I am generally open to all genres, perspectives and subject matter. There are books that are perfect pick-me-ups, ones that I may not think twice […]
