Santa Fe is such a relaxing place. But it can get a little hectic around some of the well-known tourists spots, especially in the summer. The crowds come out in mass to enjoy the gorgeous Santa Fe weather and all that southwestern food. That’s when we decided to compile a…
Sadly we’ve come to the end of our New Zealand adventure. For the past 2 weeks, I showed Kevin around the country that I called home more than 16 years ago. And yes, I’m feeling very old just thinking about it! The best way to see New Zealand is by…
Call them hidden gems, best-kept secrets or hidden spots — LA has so many nooks and crannies. It’s definitely easy to drive right past them. Kevin and I have lived in Los Angeles for nearly a decade and yet, we continue to stumble across new things. And sometimes (umm, more…
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…

Kevin and I debated where to celebrate our honeymoon — maybe New Zealand? Or somewhere in Southeast Asia? But then we remembered our first trip to Spain — the romantic cafes, great wine and warm weather. Plus, we could easily tack on a trip to visit Portugal, a place neither…
In less than 3 months, Kevin and I will officially tie the knot in downtown Los Angeles. To celebrate, Kevin’s friends from his Stanford days invited us up to San Francisco for a low key celebration. It’s a great place to celebrate a gay bachelor party given San Francisco’s progressive attitudes…
