nyc snapshots
Last November, Conrad and I spent a long weekend in New York. We stayed with my brother-in-law and his wife, who live in a gorgeous apartment on the Upper West Side, and had a lovely (if too short!) visit in the Big Apple. Both C and I have been to NYC before, so this trip…

tour de fat 2016
Conrad and I missed Tour de Fat last year because we spent the weekend camping, so I was especially excited for this year’s parade. It started as it usually does, with brunch + booze! By the way, if you’ve never heard of Tour de Fat, it is a bicycle parade held by New Belgium Brewery and…

a day in italy
The trip recap continues! The day after the big party, we decided to take a little road trip to our favorite Italian border town, Susa.

eight hours in helsinki
And the Scandinavian adventure continues! Every time we go to Sweden, I try to plan a mini-trip to see a little more of Europe and since my best friend, Nora, was in Helsinki for Christmas, I thought it would be fun to visit her in Finland for the day! We used the same boat company…

golden globes 2016
Hello and happy Monday!Last night was the 2016 Golden Globes, and while I did not watch the show (we don’t have cable!), I love, love, LOVE awards season! To be completely honest, I don’t really care about the winners/losers/nominees (though I am always happy to see the underdog win). For me, the best part is,…
