When Frank and I last visited Las Vegas, we discovered Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen. It was so good!!! To be seated more quickly, we opted to sit out on the patio. I want to say the wait was short because it was pretty warm outside, but thankfully, we were in the shade and had nice […]...

I’m still trying to catch up on my hiking posts from the past few months. Finding the time, as I’m sure we all can attest to, seems harder and harder as the kids get older with all of their extracurricular activities…but I’ll save that for future posts because I digress and need to stay focused […]...

Last year, I had the opportunity to attend SoFabCon for the first time. I had wanted to go to SoFabCon 13, but just couldn’t make the finances work. So when I had the opportunity SoFabCon in May, I jumped on it and was so excited as I’d heard awesome things about the conference the […]...

Each month, a group of us girls get together and go out for a Girl’s Night Out! It is so much fun! Originally our group was formed to play Bunco, but with everyone’s busy schedules, it became really difficult to do. After a few months, we were all missing our monthly get-togethers and decided […]...

We’ve all been in the position of trying to stuff a lot of things to do into a short amount of time. Whether it’s running errands, going to appointments, or having to pick up the kids of a half-day. Arleena and I were pressed on time, and decided to stay local and find some kind […]...

Frank and I love to travel! Recently, we headed up to San Francisco and spent a weekend exploring the city like tourists do. It was pretty fun! I definitely think we’ll be visiting San Francisco again – especially since it’s only about 4 hours away north of us. We had a great drive up and […]...

I LOVE to eat crab! Living on the Central Coast of California, you think I would have it a lot, right? Not so. It’s kind of outside our budget on a regular basis, but this was a special getaway weekend for Frank and I and we decided to splurge. And oh my gosh – was […]...
