Tailgate Style

If you're anything like me, football has invaded your home and it is here to stay (whether you like it or not!) While I am not a big fan, personally, I do believe in cute tailgate style. I mean, hey, if you're going to do something you don't like, might as well look cute while…

Forecastle Music Festival

Louisville’s big hipster music festival was this past weekend and Z. and I had the privilege to go on Sunday. The big draw for me was Death Cab for Cutie and it was all I dreamed of. After all, I have waited 15 years to see this band. 19 year old Anna was in Heaven.…

Best [Budget] Summer Dates in Louisville

July has already started, but we still have a lot of summer left to enjoy. If you are in the Louisville area, here are some of my favorite ways to spend time with Z. in our lovely city. Shakespeare in the Park. Louisville’s central park puts on plays every summer all for free. There are…

Ye First Ren Faire

Happy birthday, Z!

Today is my beloved’s birthday, not that we are celebrating today. As some of you may know, Z. is an accountant and this is a crazy, busy time of year. We celebrated a week early when we had *slightly* more breathing room. So how did we celebrate Z.’s birthday? It started in the morning. I…

Kentucky Women’s Book Festival

Guys, I had the best weekend. This weekend was the KY women’s book festival which is held at U of L and it was absolutely wonderful.  Smallish book festivals are often ignored because they don’t have the big headliner names, but they also can be a wonderful chance to find some new authors to read.…

November Favorites

It’s that time of the month, again! Did you, dear reader, have a wonderful Thanksgiving? I sure hope so. I don’t have a lot of favorites for the past month, mainly because I was far too busy to really focus on anything. Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts  - I swear I didn’t buy this myself. One…
