I mean obsessed. Or possessed. I’m not sure. Have I ever told you about Howie’s obsession with water? This is the face Howie makes when he hears the hose come on… He goes absolutely crazy when he sees it. He wants to chase it. He wants to eat it. He wants to attack it. *CHOMP* […]
Last week we celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary and spent a long weekend completely isolated from the outside world- hidden away in a cozy cottage in the small town of Sewanee, Tennessee. Sewanee’s quaint shops and small town charm reminded me of another small town, Stars Hollow! :) (From Gilmore Girls) And even though we […]
Can you stand one more LA post?? :) I got so many requests to provide the info on what I wore in LA, I decided to put it all into one more post… Here goes! The dress is from one of my favorite stores in my hometown, Kinnucan’s. I used to *love* shopping there as […]
My LA posts are coming to a close, but here’s one last post highlighting the very best of my trip to LA: What I’ll never forget, where I’ll definitely go, and where I’ll definitely eat again… next time! :) Arriving in style… Being picked up at LAX by a driver, holding my name on a […]

It had been an amazing, whirlwind week in LA– I’d met wonderful new friends, experienced so many unique flavors, and traveled to places I’d only dreamed about- or seen […]
It had been an amazing, whirlwind week in LA– I’d met wonderful new friends, experienced so many unique flavors, and traveled to places I’d only dreamed about- or seen in movies! On my last full day in sunny CA, I drove down the coast from Santa Monica to Newport Beach. I drove through the seaside […]
Wednesday afternoon, after our big day with Rocco in LA, Jenny I drove up the coastline on the PCH from Santa Monica to Malibu. We took a little side trip up into the canyons to get a better view of the beautiful seaside town. Stopped for some afternoon milkshakes on the pier! :) Then… El […]
I didn’t get too many pictures of our hotel, but fortunately, Pat, one of the other lovely ladies on the trip got some incredible shots of our room, the hotel, our view from the rooftop and the luxurious streets of 90210 as we stepped outside the hotel lobby. Our very mod rooms. Of course, the […]
Photo via Briana The grand finale of our “Into the Heart of LA” culinary experience with Bertolli was a private, intimate meet and greet with celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito. After a whirlwind day full of pampering, limos, celebrity treatment, meeting new friends, tasting new foods, exploring LA’s unique culinary scene and uncovering its passion for […]
We had one more stop on our wonderful, whirlwind tour of LA before meeting Rocco: the amazing Cheese Store of Beverly Hills. Walking into the Cheese Store, I was utterly blown away. (Get it?? Udderly? Snarf!) You could totally smell all the wonderfully pungent cheeses way before you entered the store. :) Photo via Briana […]
After our larger-than-life sized breakfasts at The Griddle Cafe and quick stop at the Farmers Market in LA (where I wanted to sample one of everything), we were ready for- what else? Lunch, of course! We hopped in the limo & grabbed our phones where we checked the latest Tweets from popular gourmet food trucks […]
Brittney, me, Jaclyn from Bertolli, my guest Jenny, Jenny @ Picky Palate, Jenny’s guest Mandy, & Shelisa Photo via Mandy Our first day in LA! Last Tuesday morning I was waking up in L.A. & getting ready for our amazing, all-day event with Bertolli. We all met in the lobby first thing in the morning […]
I’m back from LA! Last week Bertolli sent me (and one of my lovely readers!) on an all-expenses paid trip to Los Angeles to experience an unforgettable culinary tour of the city and meet celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito. Everything happened so quickly- Bertolli asked me on a Monday if I was interested in participating, and […]
*I’m in L.A. this week with Rocco DiSpirito at the Bertolli event, but just so you don’t miss me while I’m away, here are some pics of our kayaking float down the Paint Rock River last week! This is a local corn field that had flooded – it was so deep we were able to […]
I’m leaving for L.A. first thing tomorrow morning to meet Rocco DiSpirito at the Bertolli event– and I can’t believe that just one short week ago I had no idea that today, 7 days later, I’d be packing to go to Los Angeles– and tomorrow, I’ll be flying into LAX and going to California for […]
This past weekend was the Atlanta Braves’ annual Bark in the Park Day. They have a couple special games a year where you can bring your pup along with you to experience a major league baseball game. Miley and Howie remember all the fun they had last year and are very excited for the game. […]
I could’ve never imagined that the first email I read this morning would set the day off in such a whirlwind of activity and excitement! If you’ve been following along with my clues on Twitter & Facebook, you might already have a guess… :) Bertolli, who sponsored the last giveaway where I made my own […]
I am loving Kevin’s new work schedule… …every other Friday off! Last week we took full advantage and headed down to the Flint River for a relaxing 8 mile float. This was Kevin & Miley’s first kayaking trip… I think Miley enjoyed soaking up the fresh air & sunshine… while everyone else paddled around her! […]
