Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!

Published on August 31, 2012, by in Life, Sports.

Today is the beginning of the Labor Day weekend and the start of the Grand Prix of Baltimore and I could not be more excited. I went to the inaugural race last year and was completely blown away by how awesome it was. Literally, a race through the streets of Baltimore. Let me get this

The Daily Package

Published on August 29, 2012, by in Fashion.

The worst part about blogging is coming up with the titles, the best part is sharing things that make you smile. My husband is very particular about his undergarments and was just telling me about a new brand he’d like to try called Mack Weldon Underwear. I briefly became distracted looking for the specified drawers

Foraging for Wine

Published on August 28, 2012, by in Travel.

This past weekend my boyfriend, his sister and her husband and I ventured into the gorgeous hils of Virginia wine country. Normally we take these kinds of trips in the Fall Fantastic Foliage season, so I was a little trepidatious about taking this time to exlore the gorgeous mountainside in the historically sweltery August instead

The reason behind that was the my family was experiencing the sickness and eventually the loss of my wonderful grandfather.

School is closed (again) for my sweet baby boy and I think I have ten minutes before he wakes up from his nap- enough time to do a quick post on the Fresh 20. Has anyone tried the Fresh 20? I just heard about it but I believe I’ve seen it come up on sites

Brussels N’ Bacon

Published on August 22, 2012, by in Food.

I’m horrified when people suggest deep frying veggies because I think that takes so much away from their flavor, but bacon and veggies… bring it on! Brussel sprouts, bacon, onion, olive oil. Toss with penne, squirt some lemon and call it dinner.

On Target: Orla Kiely

Published on August 20, 2012, by in Home.

I popped into Target for laundry detergent and some other toiletries (as I type this I realize I completely forget the laundry detergent) and found that Target had collaborated with Orla Kiely again. So cute! I love Method products and Orla Kiely, what a great pairing!

Can This Podcast Improve My Life?

Published on August 17, 2012, by in Life, Reviews.

I’m a podcast listener. In the car, while I work out, while I clean the kitchen, anywhere and everywhere. I find podcasts a quick way to throw some knowledge into my earholes while I’m busy doing something tedious. And since a large part of what I love to do / have to do for hours

I Heart NJ

Published on August 17, 2012, by in Life.

We went up to visit my parents and had a great time. Contrary to what is portrayed by pop culture, the Jersey Shore is not like the Jersey Shore. My New Jersey: I grew up in Rumson and my parents now live in Highlands. Here’s the view of NY from my parents’ house on an
