My, my, my that holiday weekend flew by! All the usual feelings are present and accounted for: happiness from the greatness we experienced; frustration with getting back to the daily grind of reality; and a certain sadness that stems from it all being over. 4th of July signifies the middle of summer so we are now on the descend of the season. I won't be the saddest to see the heat go, if it ever does, but I am eager for fall! I know, I know, no need to get ahead of ourselves. Don't worry, I'm not going to start ordering my white hot chocolate and demanding it in the red Starbucks cup. Yet. Although, I did bust out some new Lauren Conrad boots and tights the other day. I scored the kicks from Kohl's , which were at a severe, severe discount. I got an even better deal than what the site lists them for. Basically, people, it's happy trails ahead! Over the holiday weekend, Hunter and I ate, drank, and relaxed a plenty. It was fabulous. There was lunch wi...

With the 4th at the end of this week, I thought I'd draft my personal top 5 favorites about the ol'red, white & blue celebration. Shall we? 1. I'm going to get right to specifics here and say freedom. While I do feel there are many freedoms still needing some follow through , this country is a great, great land. I'm thankful, proud, and happy to represent this land. 2. Hot dogs, lemonade and festive desserts ! These are staples in our house for the holiday. Throw in a bur-gah, oy! Delighted is an understatement. 3. A break from the day to day; I have a few days off and I am more than thrilled to spend time with the dogters, sleep in, get outdoors for walks and maybe some tennis (total fave sport to play), and really just pretend I work from home and get all kinds of fun things done. 4. The fashion. I adore it whether its: -how people dress their kids/animals in their most festive attire -various magazine layouts -or seeing different street styles. ...

America, I love ya! I am beyond thankful to be live in this great land. I love 4th of July just the same. It's nice to have a day to celebrate a solid quality like independence. Americans by nature and from early existence are driven, independent, strong crusaders. The whole concept behind our foundation is one of setting out to start new and chase a wild idea that others are willing to fight you so much for, they will start a war. There are days we can feel like we fight a war or we can acknowledge our wildest ambitions. Me? I'm trying to stay focused on: success as a loving other half to Hunter; success as a young professional, some days sure I feel like I'm walking backwards in high heels but I know I am dancing on the right track at this time. Sharp turns and curves welcome!; success to be a good person with a heart of gold, a mind of compassion, and a drive that carries me from one goal to the next. And I'm thankful for the ability to live in a world wh...
