It was first or second grade when I first learned the words to “This Land is Your Land.” I wondered if I would ever go to New York or California. The “golf stream” waters and redwood forests seemed so far away.
I know I made six-year-old-me really proud when I got [...]
In the end of January, I went to a food swap with the SF Swappers group.
I was excited to try delicious new foods and meet some San Francisco foodies. This was my first time meeting with this group, and my first official “food” swap (I’ve swapped dozens of cookies though, [...]
Hello, 2013!
Here is the view we enjoyed as we rang in the New Year. (Not a stellar photo, but trust me, it was beautiful.)
We were up on the rooftop of a friend’s apartment counting down to midnight. There were clusters of other party-goers scattered on rooftops all around the neighborhood. We [...]
Here is a blog post that’s been on my draft list for 5 months. I feel remorseful that I didn’t hit publish when I originally wrote the post, but better late than never. I feel like I can’t really start blogging about San Francisco food while I still have Boston food posts in the queue. [...]

We’ve been in California for almost a month. I figured now is as good a time as any to share pictures from the move.
Here are some of the last photos taken in our Boston apartment, shot at approximately 3 A.M. the night before we flew out.
Jelly was helpful as ever.
A lot has changed since I last updated the blog. Our zip code, for example, moved approximately 3,300 miles west to the Bay Area!
This has been a long-term goal of ours, and it’s hard to believe we’re finally here! I start work this week with a new company (Justin is working from [...]
When I was a kid, I had a pen pal in England and we sent each other letters every so often. One time, I tried to mail her some rubber stamps in a small envelope. That is how I learned about the need for proper postage.
Shortly thereafter, the internet was invented. Pen pals became [...]
Aching to get away this week? Me too. I wish I was in San Francisco right now, as I do every day.
Bridges and buildings span the horizon, yummy food is tucked into every corner of the city. The views are unrivaled, so who cares about a little lot of fog?
