No, I’m not announcing anything. But, I spent a great weekend away with a group of girlfriends and took a boatload of photos. Back in April, I had a couple of photo shoots with a couple of the same people, one of which was a maternity shoot. Well, as it tends to happen, Melissa had [...]

I’d been looking forward to the FoodBuzz Festival of 2011 pretty much since the same event ended last year. I was lucky enough to be able to attend last year with the help of AJ and his unending generosity and support of the blog. This year, I was lucky enough to have been chosen for [...]

For just about as long as I can remember, I’ve known about Alice Waters and her restaurant in northern California. My mom always instilled the values of eating locally and supporting local farmers by taking us to the farmers’ markets during the summer, planting our own vegetable gardens, and making sure we always knew where [...]
