Washington, DC holds a special place in my heart. It’s where Kevin and I first met. In fact, I never thought we’d ever leave DC (fast forward 15 years, and 3 cities later). Wow, such babies! An old photo of our time living in DC. Kevin in his flip-flops and…
There isn’t anything subtle about country music icon Dolly Parton — with her larger-than-life blonde hair and bedazzled outfits. There was no doubt (NONE!) that we’d stop at Dolly’s very own theme park Dollywood on our 4 day Tennessee road trip. We spent a full day at the down home…
Kevin and I just got back from spending 5 days in New Mexico for the July 4th holiday. It was tough narrowing down what to do, especially since I kept coming up with one day trip after another. But one spot quickly topped my list — a day trip to…
This post is in honor of my mom, Mary Lou. One week ago, she passed away peacefully after a 8-month battle with pancreatic cancer. It’s a terrible disease that took her from us way too soon. Life in the fast lane! Taking my mom out for a spin in the…
Where does the time go? That was certainly a question that Kevin and I reflected back on many times this past year. 2018 marks the 2nd year that I captured a 1 second video clip every single day on my iPhone. I didn’t miss one day! Check out the full…

For the past 5 years, Kevin and I have headed to Tampa, Florida for Christmas to visit my family. Rather than haul a bunch of gifts from LA, it’s become a tradition for us to do a big activity with the family. Kevin takes a break from all the snacking…
One Second Everyday is an app that I heard mentioned on NPR while driving back from the office. The idea behind it is that as we get older, the days seem to go faster (and even merge into one). I can’t tell you how many times people will ask —…
I’m always on the lookout for the most unique things to do in LA. That’s when I came across the Los Angeles Zoo’s newest interactive program called “Hippo Encounter” ($15 per person; available only on weekends and holidays at 12 PM). The hippos come waddling out to see us! Kevin…
Heading to Philadelphia for Christmas? Kevin and I recently returned from a weekend with the family in Philly. There isn’t a better time to visit the city than the holidays with special museum exhibits, festivals and Christmas markets right in the heart of downtown. Plus, the food! If I lived…
