In elementary school I was taught the 50 States that rhyme song to help me remember all of the United States in alphabetical order. To this day, I remember almost all of the words to the song and by default, can recite the states from A to Z.
I think for most people, music is [...]

I am taking a quick break from recapping my Costa Rica trip even though I know you’re thinking, “she’s seriously not done yet?!”
But if I haven’t convinced you that it is worth a plane ticket to go to that wonderful country yet, I thought you should know that in conjunction with Gap Adventures, Nomadic Matt [...]
Last month I listed movies that inspire me to travel and I received a lot of comments with great new suggestions. As we settle into winter, if you’re like me, that means that more often than not, you’ll find yourself snuggled up inside the warmth of your home as more snow buries your car and [...]

As much as I have been bitten by the travel bug, I can be the kind of person that all too easily lets things like work, weddings and other commitments get in the way of planning my next trip. The other day Mike had to remind me that we missed the deadline that I set [...]
Thanks to Peter Shankman’s Help a Reporter Out, more commonly known as HARO, I was recently able to help myself out and get in front of a reporter writing a story on girlfriend getaways. In what I thought would be a quick explanation of the weekend trips I have taken with my girlfriends, the conversation [...]
I stole that from one of my favorite bloggers- Franki Durbin of life in a venti cup.
Once a year she commits to a life tune-up because she “genuinely believes you have to design the life you want.”
Think about that for a second…so simple, but so true.
In a recent post, she invited her readers to join. [...]
