happy birthday, teddy!
February 3, 2014
Teddy turns 1 today, and while a lot of people may think it’s ridiculous to commemorate an animal’s birthday, if you read my post about why having a dog is so important to me, then maybe you’d understand why I’m getting a wee bit emotional. Most people talk about only the good stuff, but I’m […]

Teddy wishes you a Happy Hump Day!
April 17, 2013
OK, in all seriousness, I find it mildly disturbing that Teddy is already humping my leg — rarely Eaman’s — so early on. I mean, he started as soon as we brought him home at the ripe age of 8 weeks! Some forums online say it’s just a sign of excitement, but Teddy’s vet, though […]
meet teddy, our new golden retriever puppy
April 3, 2013
This family just got a little bigger…and cuter…and fluffier. Yes, that’s right friends: After nearly 23 years of yearning for a golden retriever friend, I’m wildly, outrageously, butt-crazily ecstatic to share with you that we finally have a dog! Meet Teddy, an 8-week-old golden with a serene personality (so far), adorably round head (a very […]
So long, farewell (for now)
September 22, 2015
It’s with a mixture of sadness and relief that I say I will be taking a break from this blog. For how long? I’m not sure. Why? Let me explain. (It’s a long one. I have many thoughts.) I started this blog just a few days after moving to San Diego to document my journey […]
5 August Favorites
September 1, 2015
The best things I ate, saw, and did in August:1. Weekend getaway to The Garland Hotel. We—Teddy, too!—spent a night at this stylish boutique hotel in L.A.’s North Hollywood nabe this past weekend as part of a work assignment. There were so many fun design details, including this cool butterfly wall, movies played nightly at […]
The Top Dog-Friendly Spots in San Diego
August 27, 2015
I wanted a dog for 20+ years. I dreamed about having a dog, cried about not having one, studied dog encyclopedias, read training manuals. In short, I was obsessed. But I also knew to wait until the right time and right city before making that dream happen. More power to the people who can manage […]
life at the moment
August 25, 2015
A little peek at life in real time: Currently I’m… Reading: Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. It’s amazing. AMAZING! Adichie is such a skilled writer who can balance pain, laughs, insight, and quick wit. (No wonder Beyonce sampled her TEDx Talk in “Flawless.”) Given how much people have hyped this book, my expectations were high, but all the praise is […]
weekend recap
August 11, 2015
A glimpse at the weekend that was… I headed up to L.A. with some friends for Unique LA, a pop-up market hosted by Unique USA, an organization that brings locally designed and crafted goods to various cities in the form of tradeshow-style shopping events. But first…coffee! Though my caffeine headache was looming throughout our morning drive, […]
