I’m in Vegas this week. I plan to eat my way through The Strip and moan at culinary masterpieces in the middle of the desert while winning the funds for my spring wardrobe. (I’m a rabid dice girl. Craps is my thing.) So, sit tight – there are more pictures and stories to come. In [...]

The other day Susan provided a must-have list for business travel. (You should go check it out – she’s right on target.) Through multiple careers and endless amounts of travel for both long- and short-term engagements (my ex-consulting life is showing there) I have learned it is not only WHAT you pack, but HOW you [...]

Over the past several months I have been traveling almost every week and have run through and been stuck in endless amounts of airports and rental cars. On one particular trip I realized I had very little charge left on my phone, was waiting for a flight and had left my car charger for my [...]

Dear Dude in the Middle Seat on the Plane Last Night: Stop touching me. It’s the last row of this plane and it’s crowded. All I want to do is lean my head on the side of this window and go to sleep with a little help from my friend, Dramamine. I’m finding it hard [...]

Sunday we dropped off Leah at her sleepaway camp.  This is her third year going, but the first year she will stay for the “big kid” session of 3 ½ weeks.  That’s kind of a lot.  It was also the first time Benjamin made the trip with us.  Here are some favorite outtakes of the [...]
