Time to ditch your cable ?

I have nothing against cable TV, but I still don’t understand the idea of packages and paying for tons of channels I never watch.  I mean, our wedding packages don’t include a complementary shoot of the groom’s best man’s cousin’s uncles dog.  Why do I need to have all these “extras”?  Extras that I could…

Virginia State Fairin’ It!

Tractors, calves giving birth, fried Oreos, fried dough, fried lemonade, fried EVERYthing, bunnies, flags…southerners, northerners, farmers, staffers, techies, lumberjacks, Nascar fans, bureaucrats, free spirits, families…face paint, carnival rides, things that go ’round, things that go up, things that should come down, crafts, candy, fudge…more tractors…vintage, historical, charming.  A collision of worlds.  Not quite the Texas…

Another fall, another (very cool) iteration of military chic

This fall seems to be all about the military chic.  Again.  And, I’m certainly not complaining.  I love it.  It’s relaxed, comfortable, and can actually be quite feminine.  I kind of feel like every year, as the seasons change, I end up indulging in more jackets with VERY subdued epaulets (since I’m far from adventurous…

Chompin’ on a post-run frittata

Creative breakfasts!  Live.  For.  Them. You’ve heard us talk about running a lot.  And, I’m sure it gets old.  Trust me, it’s getting a bit, well, cumbersome for us as well.  Kind of cramps the lifestyle if you like to eat protein on Saturdays, go out past 9pm, and live a normal life.  But, we’re…
