It’s Ashley Turner yoga boot camp week again (click here for my obsessions from last time) and it’s been a tough week so far. Not only is the physical practice incredibly challenging (more so than last time), but she’s raising questions … again. All of which is awesome, of course. What are you rushing toward?…

Happy Father’s Day!
My dad is awesome. This is him with Denali, when she was just a puppy. He is funny. My family isn’t really a brunching family, except when it comes to people’s birthdays, holidays, or relatives in town … erm, so maybe we are? Dad loves Waterloo Icehouse’s brunch, but then again, he’s never tried TRACE…

Blog Action Day is an annual event that unites the world’s bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day. This year, the focus is WATER. I freakin’ love water. I love to drink it (at least 8 glasses a day), I love to bathe in it, I love to swim in it,…
I love my mom
Happy Mother’s Day! And I hope you all love yours too. My mom eats healthy, but LOVES a buffet. She doesn’t want to go to brunch unless it’s all-you-can-eat. Nevermind that she won’t eat all that much, she wants OPTIONS, people. (I mean, the woman went to Berry Austin and didn’t put a single cookie…

Let the madness begin: SXSW 2010
It appears the SXSW media frenzy has come earlier than usual this year. It’s just less than a month out, but the twitter/blogger/media buzz is already loud and, well, buzzing.

The Memorial Day Post
I’m throwing a bachelorette party this weekend, so I’ve all but written off Memorial Day, which means that in purely selfish interest, I’ve yet to post on the beloved summer kickoff (some call it a holiday to honor our fallen heroes …. psssh). Last year I went big, with a Memorial Day Party barge through…
