Hi there! It’s been a while, so this post will be a little random as I catch up with what’s been going on in the Living it Write world. Eric and I attended the Valley of the Sun 20/30 club’s Viva Las Vegas event in mid May. All proceeds went to charity, and the cost … Continue reading »
2012 Trip a Month–May–A Trip Down Memory Lane
For the month of May, I didn’t make my goal of taking a trip a month; it just turned out to be too busy with something scheduled almost every night and every weekend. So, instead, I decided I’d take a little trip down memory lane to hold me over until my scheduled June trip. In … Continue reading »

2012 Trip a Month–April–Coachella Day 2
We started off day 2 with brunch for Austin’s birthday. Eggs, bacon, potatoes, tortillas, guac and salsa, mimosas, birthday cake and birthday hats!
