Welp, for most people in this country it's summer time. The weather is hot, the skies are blue, and the days are long. But for those of us stuck in the middle of a bad year of San Diego's June Gloom, the weather is still cold, the skies are yucky gray, and the sun...
I'm guilty of being a photographer by trade. You know how they say a plumber always has leaky faucets in their own home? Well, neither do I, because I just made that up, but as a photographer I tend to not take that many photos when I'm on vacation. Not because I...
I need to be alone sometimes. That's simply the truth of it. A vacation to me can be a romantic resort on a faraway beach with my hubby, hanging out with a friend for an afternoon, or a week by myself cleaning our wreck of a household. Option three was last week....
Something is taking over the garage here at Casa de Youngren.... They're shiny. They're sleek. And they're twins. Only one has arrived. The other is on it's way. Stay tuned... Hugs,...
Eh-Hem. Before we get started I would like to make a very important announcement: Jeff is coming home today!!! Woohoo!!! Before my dear sweet hubby makes his way back to Casa de Youngren, however, I have a very special Recipe Sunday for everyone today. While...
Because when you love someone, the barriers between what you would do and wouldn't do come crashing down. When all you want is to help their dreams come true - to be a source of joy, encouragement, strength, and love in their lives - their insane requests become a...
This, my friends, is me. Yup, I'm double-fisting a spicy hot dog and a cheese pretzel. Hey, I'm on vacation people. I can hear you judging. Or is that drooling? So what is this week's Recipe Sunday all about? Well, it's about eating. Which just so happens to be...
Well, I wasn't technically flyin' solo. I was with my best girlfriend, Shannon, who lives outside of D.C., and we conquered Manhattan (and the shopping) like only two twenty-somethings on a girl's trip can. It was hot, humid, noisy, bustling, and absolutely...
Do you remember your first time? When you first strolled through Central Park? Or climbed to the top of the Empire State Building? Or gazed over Ground Zero? Or felt the buzz in Times Square? Well I don't, because it hasn't happened yet. After years of watching the...
Today's fantastic Recipe Sunday feature just so happens to be my dear hubby's famous chili recipe. And when I say "famous," I mean this chili is so famous it can wear sunglasses inside and have it's assistant sign it's autograph for you. It's fame-OUS. In fact,...
As most of you know, Jeff's parents, Ron and Gina, have been living in Singapore for the past year and a half, but their permanent days overseas have come to an end as of yesterday. In other words, they're moving back to San Diego! Because Jeff and I are such good...
We're really not shellfish kind of people. But when the father of your bride that was born and bred in the heart of Maine takes you to a lobster pound on the New England coast, you better cozy up to the idea of a big fat poky lobster for dinner. I was a little...
