Pinstripes Bistro, Bowling, & Bocce

As Jeffrey and I have been exploring places, we ended up at Pinstripes Bistro, Bowling & Bocce at Pinecrest. We started out with two games of bowling, made super easy by the electronic scoring and ease of adding in bumpers for individual players (although perhaps I should have added bumpers for me). Jeffrey had a blast! The bowling balls were marked with stickers over the thumb hole once they had been cleaned, making it easy to know which were good to go. Also, while masks weren't required in your personal lane area, Jeffrey and I chose to keep ours on. After bowling, we … [Read more...] about Pinstripes Bistro, Bowling, & Bocce

Cafilia

Since heading back to the office, I've seen my caffeine intake markedly jump. So when Aleksandra reached out about Cafilia, a new coffee subscription service, I jumped right on finding out more. Cafilia not only supports local coffee shops, but helps to reduce waste. Here's how it works. You sign up for a monthly subscription. You pick your number and type of drinks (10, 15, or 20 cups and drip coffee or latte drinks). You'll receive a reusable mug with your personalized number on the bottom. When you go to a participating local coffee shop, they plug in your number, it deducts from … [Read more...] about Cafilia

Wein Imports Limited

There's nothing better these days then getting the things you need delivered to your door and no delivery makes me happier than a wine delivery! I recently got a chance to try a selection of wines from Wein Imports Limited. While Wein Imports distributes German and Italian wines, they are a locally-owned small business around since 2016, which makes them exactly the type of business I like to support. Wein Imports was created by U.S. Air Force Reserve C-130 crew members who discovered a passion for discovering new wines during their travels and sending them back home. These are the wines I … [Read more...] about Wein Imports Limited

Photo Shoots

If you ever want me to feel like an old lady (probably sound like one too), get me started on the topic of how social media platforms have evolved in the nearly 10 years that I've been blogging. Picture me on a porch, in a rocker: "Back when I started blogging, Instagram didn't even exist!" At any rate, Instagram in particular has evolved from being, well, instant to being a place for much more curated content (sometimes it's still instant, though, à la my post from last night.) This evolution has led to a lot more photo shoots in the name of content. And when I started doing these shoots, … [Read more...] about Photo Shoots

CookinGenie

As I'm adjusting to being back in an office five days a week, one thing I notice has been seriously reduced is my motivation to cook when I get home from work. And as much as I love supporting local restaurants doing take-out, sometimes you just want a home cooked meal. Well, enter CookinGenie, which allows you to enjoy a delicious meal cooked in your home without the work of actually, well, cooking. CookinGenie's founder Sabah and I "met" on one of my girl Annie's Signature Sweets virtual baking class. I love seeing local small business owners support each other, so when Sabah reached out … [Read more...] about CookinGenie

Challah at Meg

There's nothing better than shining a light on a new local business that is making yummy creations. I not only love her delicious challah, but I love her grassroots story and how she found help and inspiration from others on social media. What gave you the idea to start Challah at Meg? Challah at Meg came about after a month of making challah. I am a self-taught challah baker!  I had been taking orders and I started following other challah bakers around the world on Instagram and felt that I wanted to make a name for myself and I  started toying with the idea of a business. … [Read more...] about Challah at Meg

Today on the blog (yes, I blogged!) #linkinprofile Today on the blog (yes, I blogged!) #linkinprofile...

This time, this year, has simplified life for all of us. It's stripped it down. Given us the chance to decide what matters. What stays. I'm never going to be a total homebody. I'm never going to be an introvert. But I feel definitively, and have felt for awhile, that the blogger/influencer stage is done.

So, thank you, thank you, thank you for nearly a decade of more fun, more connection, more everything than I could have imagined. You guys made this worthwhile and made it last. And now it's not you, it's me.

Two months ago, I had never heard of neuroendocrin Two months ago, I had never heard of neuroendocrine cancer. Now I’m more familiar with it than I would ever want to be.

Known as the zebra of the cancer world because of it’s rarity and the unique way it manifests in each patient, it is often misdiagnosed initially.

As happened with my mother, 46% of those diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer are at Stage IV and/or had metastases at the time of diagnosis.

@netcancerday seeks to raise awareness of symptoms both among patients and health care professionals to lead to earlier diagnosis and better treatment options.

So you can imagine how much I loved sharing a margarita in the sunshine with my beautiful momma yesterday 🍹
