Happy Memorial Day! On this national holiday intended to honor our troops, I thought it might be night for me to highlight a hotel here in our nation’s capital. Last week I celebrated my birthday by doing the two things I love most – eating and exploring hotels!
Every once in a while my travels take me to a hotel that checks off all of my “LOVE” boxes: strong sense of place, excellent service, incredible dining and loads of amenities. When I find these hotel gems, I can’t help but sing its praises to everyone I know. ...
What you are about to see is embarrassing. Only for the simple fact that I’m about to disclose to you the unbelievable…yet necessary (haha, lies) amount of food I’ve eaten in the past five days.
Happy Food Friday blog family! Before we get into the delicious dining experience that is the Golden Pheasant Inn, I have to yet again apologize for my disappearance.

When it comes to breakfast, New York City is the city of bagels. New York prides itself on the bagel – the perfect, filling breakfast for on-the-go New Yorkers. I personally stopped eating bagels once I read that calorie wise, one bagel is equal to five slices of bread (yikes!),...
I wish the story that I have to tell was as dramatic as this title implies but…it’s not. As you know I’ve moved home to the DC area and catapulted myself into DC life during arguably the biggest weekend of the year. I couldn’t move home without at least...
I bet you can tell which trip was my favorite of 2012. I literally have not been able to stop talking/writing about the awesomeness that is Park City, Utah! With the Sundance Film Festival right around the corner, please take a second to enjoy my latest piece for SheKnows:...
