Ahh summer vacation. Sometimes I just can’t believe that the kids are gone and I get to take a break for 2 whole months! I’ve felt like the luckiest person on the planet this week, and I’m really trying to savor every day. Last week, my parents were in town, so I still felt busy, but this week I’ve had moments where I just didn’t know how to spend my time. I’m working with a colleague on creating an advisory…

It’s awesome how anti-bullying campaigns are sweeping through schools these days! Internet bullying is out of control though, and I can only hope that the generation that’s being hit hard with the anti-bullying messages in schools today will change the internets tomorrow. This video was shared at my school and I wanted to pass it along because I love this man! Enjoy!…
Hello! I’ll spare you the details of my low-key weekend at home and share the last of my Turkey pictures! After our time in Istanbul, we traveled to the beach town of Bodrum along the Aegean coast. I was really, really excited about this part of the trip, but after the whirlwind of the city, I hadn’t thought much about it. I think Matt and I were both blown away when we arrived and saw how ridiculously beautiful it was.…
The food in Turkey was ridiculously good. And oh so fresh! There were markets with beautiful fruit. I had sooo many cherries at breakfast every morning. Given that we were near the water, there was also wonderful local seafood and we enjoyed seabass 4-5 times during the trip. The Turks start their meals with mezes, small dishes or snacks that are usually served cold. I was obsessed! The only problem was that we would often order a couple and eat…
Vegas is intense! I can’t believe how many people were there – I arrived and was like, oh, this is where everybody has been all these years! I got to our hotel just as the sun was setting on Friday night! I was the last to arrive and it was glorious to walk into a hotel room of friends! My friend Emily was our host for the weekend and she did an amazing job planning everything and getting us on…
I’m home from New Orleans, and already missing the incredible food. Exploring new places through restaurants is a huge part of travel for me, and New Orleans is one of the most unique food cities in the US! I was in heaven the whole time! I ate some traditional dishes as well as modern interpretations of classics too. Our first stop was an adorable little bar/music venue on Frenchmen St. called The Three Muses. It’s no secret that Matt and…
Hi! Happy eve of Thanksgiving. I’m writing from the plane, where I enjoyed a glass of merlot and a Whole Foods salad. I was in such a rush that I forgot the salad dressing though, so it was kinda gross. But the wine and all the food I’ll eat tomorrow will make up for it. We’re spending the holiday with Matt’s family outside of Annapolis and I’m pumped for four days of relaxation and family time, plus the Allens’ awesome…
A little entertainment for your Wednesday morning… Jason Andre of Seven Season Films put together a GORGEOUS video of our wedding on Bald Head Island! We had debated hiring a videographer, and I can’t tell you how glad I am that we did. Jason was easy to work with and professional and the final product was worth every penny. It is fun to see the ceremony from our guests’ perspective and I’m thrilled to be able to relive that perfect…
We had a fabulous weekend in Nantucket! Matt was in the wedding party for one of his very best friends, so we made a long weekend out of the occasion and rented a house with some of the other groomsmen and their significant others. It was so fun being a guest at an island wedding after hosting one of my own. We arrived on Thursday to partake in Halloween festivities. The males were pandas, so naturally the females were panda…
