As a first timer in St. Louis, Missouri I was determined to see and eat the best of the best this summer. With only two half days to really spend in the city, I think we did a pretty dang good job of cramming in what I’ve deemed to be the 5 top attractions in […]

Spectacular Family Accommodations in St. Louis
This summer, Keith and I took the whole family to the mid-west for a family reunion. Because we are a family of 6, we often run into the dilemma of one room or two, except when we luck out with a local Embassy Suites. Embassy Suites was once again there for us with spectacular family […]

Broadway’s Cinderella Comes to San Francisco
With Miss Bea’s 7th birthday coming up, my mom and I thought the perfect way to celebrate would be a girl’s night out to see Broadway’s Cinderella, in San Francisco. Opening night of a new show is always so exciting, and experiencing that with my girl, and my mom, was a real treat. I am […]
