2012 Family Christmas Cruise
This Christmas my family and I went on a week long cruise to the Caribbean. I was looking forward to relaxing and getting some vitamin D after a few suntan-less months in NYC. Christmas tends to be a lot of work in my family with putting up decorations, fighting the crowds of people shopping for [...]
Holiday Party in San Francisco
This past weekend I flew to San Francisco for my third time. The purpose of this trip was Kevin’s work holiday party. It was a great weekend and I am a big fan of San Fran. I got into SF late Thursday night. We stayed at the Four Seasons, and boy did I feel spoiled. [...]
Thanksgiving in San Diego
This past Thanksgiving I celebrated with Kevin’s extended family in San Diego. I’ve been to San Diego twice before, but this trip was a different experience.

Although their traditions aren’t like my family’s holiday traditions, [...]

As a new New Yorker, one thing that I look forward to are the holiday window decorations at the large department stores. They are a big deal [...]
Guide for Guys for Valentine’s Day

Pretending to forget Valentine’s Day definitely won’t get you any brownie points. Whether we like it or not, February 14th is hardwired in most female brains. [...]
Thanksgiving Dinner for One
This was my first Thanksgiving away from my family ever in my whole life. Originally I didn’t think it was going to be a big deal. In my family, my mom’s side of the family gathers for every holiday. We cook. A ton. And drink. Lots of wine. And laugh. Uncontrollably. I can always count [...]
