When we were booking our excursions for this trip, as I’ve said a few times, I was sort of the game-maker, so to speak. I was researching the tours, sending ideas to my family, budgeting, and booking everything. We had a TON of things we wanted to do and see, and one of the day […]
Another of the “not to miss” day trips from Sydney that was recommended to us was to visit the Hunter Valley for a wine tour. If you know my family, you KNOW that we love wine. Spoiler alert, but that’s basically the reason that there are *no* photos from this entire day. Knowing how many […]
Bonus and I are excellent at making random global friends. It’s sort of what we do everywhere. Aside from the excellent addition of having people to hang out with and learn from when we meet these new friends, sometimes we get to visit them when they’re in their hometowns too! When we realized that we […]
Arriving not only in a new country, but in a new city at 6am is both exhausting and exhilarating. It means you’ve survived the dreaded redeye flight and have an entire day ahead of you to explore your new surroundings. For my family and I, that meant that I booked us on not one, but […]
“We flying the first class up in the sky, poppin’ champagne & livin’ my life in the fast lane and I won’t change…” No, really though. I’d been keeping an eye on the flights and points pricing for this trip for mom, Matt and I since I had been in charge of all of the […]
I’ll preface this with the fact that I am in NO WAY an extreme couponer. I just like getting money back when I do things, and since my Sorority Sister had introduced me to Ebates, I’ve poked around for a few other ways to get cash back for things I already do. Once of the […]
One of the greatest parts of my job at Infragistics is being able to organize and attend our trade shows and events, and one of my favorites has always been //BUILD/. This year’s event was again in the Moscone West Conference and Convention Center in San Francisco, CA, and it was held April 28-May 1st. […]
Yeah. I didn’t know either. However, last Thursday, my friend Monica changed my life by offering to share an order of scallop sashimi with me and I wanted to take a few minutes to share the food adventure story! Monica and I have known each other for over two years now, originally having met through […]
I recently was given the opportunity to be interviewed by John Sonmez on his Get Up and Code Podcast, because of my work at Infragistics and my lifting and roller derby involvement. It was my first interview, and luckily it was a joint interview with my colleague, Chris. Truth be told I was incredibly nervous, […]
This past week I went for my second attempt at lasagna in the slow cooker, and I have to say, this time was even better than the first! I posted a quick photo on instagram of my reheated portion from lunch today, and a few people asked for the recipe, so I thought it would […]
