Lately, I feel maxed out ... stressed, tired, impatient and my "type A" tendencies are in full force. I keep finding myself saying "I have so much to do, but not enough time in the day to do it." But, I finally made time tonight - one hour - to go to yoga. I'm sad [...]

A Bubbly Bridal Shower

There's this overwhelming sense of relief as soon as you cross the railroad tracks which flank the northwest [...]
Whoa, Look at Those Smoke Rings

We went to the American Royal back in October (the world's largest barbecue competition), and saw hundreds of teams basting, grilling, smoking and creating all sorts of deliciously barbecued meats and sides. After lots of YouTube videos and several not-so-subtle [...]
