5 degrees is very cold

January 2, 2012

A few weeks ago, my dad and his wife offered to take our family to see ICE! at the Gaylord National Hotel. I honestly had no idea what it was but I said, “Sure! An ice show sounds great!” I tweeted about it and thankfully found several people who had been the previous year or [...]

Christmas Lights: Raleigh Style

December 24, 2011

A few years ago, my friend @IlinaP told me of her family’s tradition to pile into the car dressed in jammies with mugs of hot chocolate in search of the best Christmas lights in Raleigh. I can’t say I have found the definitive best but we definitely enjoyed taking a page from Ilina’s book last [...]

The Best of Nintendo: My Holiday Gift Guide

November 28, 2011

As some of you may know, I’ve spent the last glorious 12 months as a Nintendo Brand Ambassador. They couldn’t have found a better person because I’m a long-time Nintendo fan and I tend to gush about them anyway. I will say that they have sent me plenty of cool games and systems over the [...]

The Lessons Women Can Learn from Margaret Thatcher

November 7, 2011

She served in 1984 as the Democratic Candidate for Vice President alongside Walter Mondale. They were defeated by the unstoppable second term of Reagan and Bush but still made history anyway. [...]

“Crazy, Stupid, Love” is Crazy Stupid Good

November 4, 2011

I’ve decided I need to do more movie reviews. Apparently, when I have a grown-up movie in my hands and a deadline, I actually make the time to sit and watch a grown-up movie, from start to finish. Honestly, the way my life is these days, I’m either watching something on the Disney Channel or [...]

October 1, 2011

Looking for something to do next weekend? Do you like LEGOs? Do you have kids? If you said yes to all three of those questions, I expect to see you at the Raleigh Convention Center next weekend when the LEGO KidsFest comes to town. If you only said yes to the first two questions, you [...]
