I’ve found a new favorite place in the world. Or, rather, I’ve found a trend that is rather disturbing. Being a child of the Mid-Atlantic Region of the US, with family primarily from New England and points north, I have always assumed that cold and wet is in my blood. Sadly, it would seem that …
OK- I give in. Since seeing all my pictures of Spain on Instagram I’ve been harassed non-stop about when I’m going to post about the ten days I spent in Spain. I wanted to wait until the weather here in London got REALLY super sad so I could relive the entire trip and bring a …
I love breakfast. I. Love. It. I love sleep, too. This causes a mighty fight between the “Snooze” button on my alarm clock and my stomach most mornings, and unfortunately, the Snooze often wins. This culminates in a mad dash most mornings, where the most I get for breakfast is a piece of half-toasted bread …
Edit: Garston Grenne, you’re made date to BdN this year. Excited to see you at the event! We’ll post tons of pictures so everyone else can feel like they’re right there with us! Remember a while ago when I told you all about my new obsession, the Junior League of London? I recently joined this …
Getting back into the swing of things here in London is harder than I thought. I tend to romanticize things, though, and underestimate things like re-acclimating, imaging myself as never having “un-acclimated” in the first place. When people in the US asked me how I liked life in London, what with the crowds of people, …
Alas, fall is finally upon us. I spent one of the last beautiful summer-like Sunday mornings we had in London wandering around Primrose Hill in my favorite summer sundress, enjoying the rays, flowers and blue skies. I’m in love with my new neighborhood. I had always heard that the view of the city from Primrose …
I can’t believe I wrote about Borough Market way back when I started my blog– it was so different back then! Because I didn’t cover it anywhere near adequately two years ago, I have decided it is high time to give it the credit it is due with a full post about it! Borough Market …
Growing up, I always cheered for the underdog. I was probably the bane of everyone’s existence, considering my father played for the Redskins and I lived in the Northern Virginia area, when I would change team affiliation from the Redskins to whatever team was losing halfway through a game. In the UK, this kind of …
My favorite, favorite time of day is breakfast time. With any luck, I’ll have been up working for a few hours already (can I get a YEAH for those who are most productive in the early morning!?) and have a few mugs of coffee in me, which makes me all the more ready for some …
I don’t usually do posts like this but.. what’s the point of being a blogger if you can’t use the blogger community to gather support around you when you need it?! I just joined the Junior League of London, a charitable organization devoted to building stronger communities through service. I’m meeting lots of new friends …
