i’ve been away.

Not necessarily away physically, just mentally. Work has been CRAZY. And we’ve been doing a little traveling– nowhere new, just the same ‘ole staples. New Orleans for a Bachelorette party. Vegas with my favorite group of party people. Entertaining out of town friends in Houston, and ultimately, forcing ourselves to try new places in our…

facebook is your friend.

I love Facebook. Not only because you can keep up with old and new friends, but also for the travel deals and restaurant specials. And no, to my weary readers, Facebook is not the devil and going to ruin us all. Vegas is a perfect example of how social media can work in your favor. A quick…

adult disneyland.

Vegas= Adult Disneyland. I am always concerned when I find a location I adore and want to take people back. Mainly, I worry that the place won’t be as fabulous the second time around. Thankfully, The Chisholm’s, D and I all survived our trip to Vegas, and The beautiful Cosmopolitan was as gorgeous this time, as it…

viva las…

Yes, you guessed it. We’re going to Vegas. AGAIN. But this time is a little different than our traditional pilgrimage. You see, I have this friend. Her name is Lise. Lise and I grew up together in the same neighborhood, same schools, and were proud members of the Briar Flyers swim team. I’m fairly certain we…

24 hours in london.

I don’t know how we ended up with only 24 hours in one of the most famous cities in the world. I guess we had too much fun everywhere else, and that is what we were left with. Either way, D and I made the best of our time in London with our new friends,…

i’m hungry.

I’m hungry… Therefore, food is the topic of the day. Dining out while traveling can be some of the best (and worst) experiences when it comes to cuisine. I’ve learnerd over the years that regional specialties amid humdrum chain establishments should be your vote every single time. Period. When in doubt as to where to go, ask a…

vegas= happy place.

Vegas = Happy Place. MY happy place to be exact. If you’ve never been to Las Vegas, or at least not in recent years, it truly is sensory overload.  Everything from the gleaming lights, fantastic music, awesome collection of shows, delectible restaurants…. the list goes on. Vegas is most certainly adult Disneyland, and a hell…

sneak peek– sinsgiving.

Just a quick Monday morning recap of our fabulous trip to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving. It was our 3rd annual “Sins-giving” as I’ve dubbed it, and it certainly did not disappoint. Check back tomorrow for more pictures and details! PS- The Cosmopolitan was every bit as good as I expected!

afternoon day dream.

Today I’m day dreaming of: Have you guessed it yet…It’s…. LAS VEGAS. And with less than 2 weeks til the hubs and I venture to Sin City, I’m absolutely giddy. Giddy at the thought of bright lights and larger than life ambiance. Giddy with the realization I can wear sparkles in public without being frowned…
