Sharing My Life One Bite at a Time
I totally took a break from my camera/blogging while I was away.

Yesterday was all about eating, drinking, and being merry—which I guess is the main point of BlogHer Food, right? Well, I’m glad I enjoyed my time to the fullest! After the morning session, Monica and I visited Pike’s Place Public Market, which was just a few blocks from the hotel. It was a beautiful and sunny [...]

Our plan was to walk 1.3 miles to the Five Bamboo offices for [...]

This time, I went with a [...]

Hi, friends! I woke up to the fuzzy face of a cutie-pie Golden Retriever this morning. Brody is the sweetest pup! Once we got out of bed, Mal and I took a quick trip to Caffe Ladro for iced coffees. The last time we were in Seattle a few years ago, we fell in love [...]

For Father’s Day, we (Mal, his father, sister, step-mother, grandmother, and I) celebrated with a late brunch at Salty’s on Alki Beach. I’ve never been to a restaurant like Salty’s before. It’s truly in a class all by itself. The view is one of the best in Seattle and the seafood and friendly, attentive service [...]

My father-in-law turned 64-years-young today. Happy birthday, Garner!!! We’ve been eating out so much, we decided to celebrate with a low-key dinner at Sibylle’s condo, which was an excellent way to spend the evening. It was so nice to just chill with family. We started with a cocktail hour and appetizers: cheese & crackers and [...]
