I love Napa, CA and am working on putting together photos and a little list of places to check out from my most recent visit there. However, there is an endless list of wineries to visit across the US (did you know that all 50 states produce wine?) and now is a gre[...]
Brunch is my religion of choice on Sundays in New York City. It’s one of those things that is such a part of the culture of this city, that I tend to miss and want to replicate when traveling elsewhere. As New Yorkers we love to show off our brunch spots to frien[...]

T'is the season, and the holiday spirit has come alive in our home. As is our yearly custom, we headed out in search of our Christmas tree. For the past few years, we've set out in search of new places to cut our tree. But, we enjoyed the tree farm we discovered[...]
