I love campaigns that make donating easy and get your attention in a visual way. The folks at UNICEF and these posters designed by Droga5 for the Tap Project have done just that (whoa, lots of links). During World Water Week (next week) can opt to pay $1 for the tap water you usually enjoy [...]
Just a couple more shots from Prague before we head onto our last two destinations. The top image and left images were taken atop the Prague Castle grounds, which was quite a sight even with the fog. We walked our way up the backside of the Castle and then strolled through a vineyard on the [...]
I’m not really one with words when it comes to heavy days like today so I’ll just keep quiet. Hope you’re able to spend some time today with the ones you love and reflect on the events that happened ten years ago. Hard to believe it’s been that long and even more impossible to forget [...]
My sister is hopping the pond this evening and heading to our family homeland, Prague, Czech Republic. She’s a brave soul, heading over there not knowing a person for, what I’m sure will be four months of non-stop fun, discovery and adventure. I wish I could be there with her the whole time, but I’ll [...]
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Big plans for the evening? At least some margaritas, I hope? I’ve been dusting off my high school Spanish and enjoying a feast of quesadillas, rice, beans and corn tonight. My Spanish though is quite rusty. In my experience I’ve found that the more alcohol you consume the better you become [...]
The weekend of non-stop action has come to a close and Monday has arrived. Thankfully this weekend, though busy, was a blast. Lots of time with family and friends, a movie night with my mom, an art show, garage sale-ing and a Confirmation party. Phew. The highlight was definitely Sunday morning, a Royal Tea Party [...]
Are you watching the Royal Wedding right now? We’re about ten minutes away from the big balcony kiss! I caught a bit of the ceremony while at the gym this morning and fell in love with Pippa Middleton’s (Kate’s sister) dress. It doesn’t hurt that her body is flawless and carries this piece perfectly. It’s [...]
The Royal Wedding is almost here and in honor of the big day some friends and I are having a tea party on Saturday. We’ve got the DVR set to record the live coverage, the hats picked out and now all that’s left it to is gather the grub. I’ve been delegated to make cucumber [...]
As you know the devastation in Japan is still occurring day and night. While I feel completely helpless and small in the grand scheme of the relief effort, I am proud to be participating in the Blogger Day of Silence. It’s a simple action that sends a strong message across the globe. Please consider participating [...]
When I posted on Friday I was in a bit of a tizzy running out of town, packing, finishing up at work and all the other things that come along with a Friday afternoon, but after a few days and tons of time online I’ve come to grasp what’s going on in Japan and its [...]
