Alaskan Cruise: Victoria, British Columbia
Continued from Skagway Part 2 (City Highlights) The last stop on our Alaskan Cruise on Ruby Princess last summer was in Victoria, British Columbia, our only stop in Canada. We only had a half day (evening, actually) to enjoy Victoria before our short return to Seattle. Victoria is considered the “most British of all Canadian cities” […]

Champagne Jell-O Shots: Pomegranate Moscato Spumante
As much as I try to avoid things overly girly (or mature), I’m still a sucker for sparkles, pink, sweets, and fun food.

Rather than just order sidecars at bars, I sometimes ask “can you make a sidecar?” and heavily scrutinize the bartender’s reaction. Most bartenders immediately […]
Houston Top Picks for Locals and Tourists
I live and work in the fourth largest city in the United States, and I’ve been here all my life. The sprawling city, the surprising number of trees, the bayous, the traffic, the heat & humidity, the mosquitoes, and the unlimited food options are all a part of every day life for this Houstonian. So […]
Why I Blog (Well…Why Not?)
I want to start the new year by reintroducing myself and why I’m here. By the 12 month milestone, my blogging peers have followers in the thousands, fill their calendars with sponsored posts, and hustle like nothing I’ve ever seen. Me? I’m just getting warmed up.

Channeling My Inner Child at Houston Zoo Lights
Do you remember driving around neighborhoods looking at Christmas lights when you were a kid? Those are some of my fondest childhood memories, especially during the holidays. Now that I’m a grown up (groan) and sit in traffic 10 hours per week, I’d rather not add another couple hours looking at lights. As a nice […]
