For years now, Matt and I have had an unspoken agreement that for our birthdays we must do something memorable. Beyond the usual treasures of a nice dinner and cake, we like to include something that we can look back on in the years to come and associate it with turning a certain age. Last …
“No repeats. There’s too much to see!” This is always my response to the suggestion of repetitive events. I think it is fully possible to enjoy and appreciate a situation without the need to make it an annual affair. The exception to this? Asheville. Up until about 5 years ago, I probably couldn’t have pinned …

Food on the grill and sunbathing on beaches. Corn on the cob and fresh picked ripe peaches. Bright colored bikinis tied up with strings. These are a few of my favorite things. Among those favorite things is also a good cocktail. At night I am usually a manhattan drinker and most days Matt and I …

In our house, Matt is the master of all things wine. I mostly just drink it and nod my head in approval of his selections. His background on the subject means he picks his bottle based on region, varietal, producer, and vintage. While I have learned a few things from him over the years, I’m …

“Don’t ask any questions, don’t touch it, and don’t try to peek under the sheet.” These were Matt’s instructions as he hauled a mystery box half the size of our sofa through the front door to our tiny apartment. Ummm, what? Doesn’t he realize there is no cap to my level of curiosity? I don’t …

What if I told you Matt and I recently sat at a bar, ordered a round of drinks and a quick bite. The only promotion was that we were there during happy hour. We paid for our beer, our burger, tax, AND tip without spending a dime of our own money. No, there were no …

It’s finally here – SPRING! March 20th might mark the official start of the season, but it’s not until the first local vegetables drop that the humdrum of winter is erased. It may have only been 30 degrees and the coffee may have been used as equal parts energy booster and hand warmer, but yesterday …

Matt and I just returned home from our 2nd annual fishing trip in the Florida Keys. It has quickly become one of our most anticipated vacation spots. I’m not sure I’d survive the summer heat there, but March seems to bring the perfect weather. Flip flops, cool breezes, and sunny skies. Last year – our …

Doughnuts have long been one of my favorite food groups. When you come from a family with a grandpa who refers to them as a “well-rounded meal” the desire for sprinkles and icing is just sorta born into your DNA. Matt, on the other hand, would rather start his day with an ice-cold beer. He’s …

Savannah was never really on our radar although in hindsight, it should have been because this city is absolutely incredible. The food, the constant stream of live music, the easy to navigate streets, and the abundance of southern charm. Sometimes a destination chooses you, and Savannah called our names when we stumbled upon airfare so …
