I love Twitter. Yesterday as I perusing my feed I noticed that fellow blogger buddies Jenn of Dear Heart and Nikki Rappaport of Cupcakes for Breakfast were tweeting about the hashtag #thingsimafraidtotellyou. After clicking through on a number of the posts folks were talking about I learned about this, sometimes heart wrenching, movement. ᔥ Creature Comforts Basically, … Continue reading »
Photo credit Luis Gomez Photos As someone who is constantly on the hunt for quality produce, dairy and meat, I was particularly excited to finally check out Smucker Farms of Lancaster Co. The owner, his family and a few local producers hosted a grand opening party where a number of food bloggers and local residents got to sample a … Continue reading »
In early March I traveled to Austin, TX for South by Southwest Interactive (SXSW). Being a blogger/social media geek, I was in heaven and totally pumped for the conference and all its associated parties, panels and networking. That’s when I got hit with a mega cold, the kind that requires twice the recommended daily amount of … Continue reading »

They’re either eating cheese and bread (Oh, look! We’re full on appetizers! Damn!) or I am probably floating the … Continue reading »
Pardon us! We’ve interrupted your usual weekly farmers market roundup to discuss a very important issue: shopping at the farmers market… effectively. As someone who rarely shops with a grocery list (if I’m lucky, I’ll think about what I want to make that week on my walk to the Dupont Farmers Market) I’ve learned the hard way … Continue reading »
↬Apartment Therapy I’ve been traveling a bunch lately, and work has just been insane. It’s left me craving a vacation – and thank goodness I have one coming up. Fortuitously planned in conjunction with my 30th birthday no less. I have five solid days at the beach coming my way and it’s got me craving … Continue reading »
