Memorial Day Weekend means one thing, the start of the beach season. Like a lot of people, my family and I will be heading down to the shore to enjoy the warm weather and celebrate the holiday. With that said, it’s time to start putting together all your beach essentials. To help you out, I’ve… Continue reading What’s In My Beach Bag?
While I love making fancy cupcakes like Irish Car Bombs and Mint Juleps, a simple cupcake with classic flavors can be just as great. The key to making a simple cupcake that people rave about all comes down to two things: an amazing recipe and great presentation. Chocolate Peanut Butter cupcakes are one of my… Continue reading Classic Cupcakes: Chocolate Peanut Butter
Slightly North of Broad, or S.N.O.B. describes themselves as an “eclectic low country bistro with a contagious energy.” This description is pretty much spot on except it is more upscale fine dining than a bistro, in my opinion. If you are ever in Charleston, South Carolina, this place is a must, but heads up, you… Continue reading Eat Here: S.N.O.B.
Whenever I head to the liquor store, I always make it a point to wander through the craft beer section just to see what’s new. This week I stumbled across Dogfish Head’s Tweason’ale. While this beer has been on shelves since early 2012, this was the first time I had run across it.

That’s why I was so excited when my friend invited a few of us to her parent’s house on Sanibel Island two years ago. After some quick research, I… Continue reading Beach Getaways: Sanibel & Captiva Islands
When it comes to buying clothes, who doesn’t love adding the latest and greatest new arrivals from their favorite store to their closet? With spring in full force, though it feels like summer with a high of 91 degrees today (yikes), it’s time again to put away our warm sweaters and break out the shorts… Continue reading How To: Tackle The Thrift Store
This past weekend, we celebrated Tori’s graduation from Penn State. On Saturday night after graduation, we had a celebratory dinner with a few other families. I, of course, was in charge of dessert. We knew we needed at least one Penn State themed dessert and so when Tori suggested blue and white macarons, I knew that… Continue reading Graduation Dessert: Blue Velvet Macarons
Like many people, I tend to use Yelp whenever I am looking for a restaurant nearby. I mean, no one really wants to go out to dinner and have a bad experience, so why not see what other people are saying. While you can use Yelp to determine where to eat just by looking at… Continue reading Never Have A Bad Meal Again: Using Yelp To Optimize Your Dining Experience
On my recent trip to Austin, I was lucky enough to be able to take a private tour of Austin Beerworks. I’m a big fan of trying new beers, especially craft beers so I knew it was going to be one of the highlights of my trip especially when I realized that they were the… Continue reading Drink Here: Austin Beerworks
Whether it’s high school, college, or grad school, graduation is a big deal. And If your family is anything like ours, pictures from this big day will be displayed on the top of your piano, hanging on the walls of your grandparents house and all over your mom’s Facebook. This is why it’s important to… Continue reading What to Wear: Graduation
