Mary Poppins on Broadway – More Than Just A Spoonful of Sugar!

Mary Poppins

I can’t think of a more magical New York experience than seeing a Broadway show, so I’m thrilled that I was able to see Mary Poppins on Broadway last weekend! The music, the effects, the choreography, the production – I loved every bit of it! It usually takes me a couple of songs to get [...]

My Weekend Taste of Italy

Raffaldini Vineyards

Believe it or not, I’ve never been to a winery before, so I decided to take a little road trip this weekend to the Raffaldini Vineyards and Winery, located in Ronda, North Carolina.

A Day With the Relics

Raleigh museum 1

Back in November I took a little road trip by myself to Chicago, and I stayed at the incredible Affinia Hotel, which is right in the heart of The Magnificent Mile. It was a 15 hour drive, so I was knocking back caffeine-rich diet colas the entire way just to keep me conscious. When I [...]

Except For the Spitting, It Was a Great Day

Remember when I showed you a dude in a tutu? Well, I met the fella at the Carolina Renaissance Festival a couple of weeks ago. It was Halloween weekend so costumes were everywhere. People really get into dressing up, don’t they? Not I. Please tell me what a stormtrooper has to do with medieval times. [...]
