Hi, I’m Sarah and I’m a Choco-Holic.  I debated about how to name  my addiction and that is definitely the most accurate description.  I do like all sweets but am addicted to chocolate in any form, especially ice cream that includes some type of chocolate like crushed up Oreos.  Seriously, I will [might] pass on [...]

I cannot believe I haven’t written about this place yet!  It’s either because A) it’s so amazing it’s difficult to put into words or B) I don’t want anyone else going here and making me wait longer for a table.  I have to give great thanks to our friends Maureen and Chris for introducing us [...]

It has been awhile since my last post and I suppose that’s an understatement.  I have been celebrating summer vacation by traveling non-stop.  Traveling is all sorts of different with a toddler involved– especially since Graham decides it’s more fun to stay awake on the plane rather than sleep.  We have been on 4 flights [...]

WARNING: If the thought of breast feeding makes you vomit  in your mouth a bit or you never intend to have children then this post is NOT FOR YOU. You know how your mommy friends tell you too much stuff when you’re pregnant with your first child and it freaks you out?  I am one [...]

I am in awe of those people who just seem to ooze style effortlessly.  You are thinking of someone right now aren’t you?  Someone who can put an outfit together without looking like they gave it a second thought, complete with perfect accessories, that isn’t too match-y but just goes.  That person’s hair is probably [...]

Date night pre-baby was so easy.  We might be sitting around on the couch on a Friday afternoon, look at each other, and say: “Want to do something tonight?”  We could scan the internet for the newest it place downtown, call up friends to see what they were up to, or go to our favorite [...]

This blogging about food I like is really bad for my diet.  Thankfully I figure if I work out then I can indulge my sweet tooth.  It’s like when I order a non-fat hot chocolate with whip cream at Starbucks… evens out right??  Writing about the cake at Sweet Mandy B’s is seriously making me [...]

Several of you know first-hand that I have perma-circles since the baby was born over a year ago.  [perma-circles = dark blotches under eyes that never seem to go away even when you've had a full night's sleep.  They crinkle up when you smile and make your eyes look puffy.]  Half of this personal fave [...]

I am a little starstruck that Diary of a New Mom author, Abby/ Mom2Miles, asked me to participate in this blog-chain-mail thing.  I was so excited to see Personal Faves on her post that I forwarded it to my  husband and called my mom.  You guys know how much I enjoy reading Diary of a [...]

Going back to work after an almost seven month maternity leave sucked.  [My husband is probably thinking, "Here we go again!"]  Just when I thought I was getting the hang of this care for a child, manage the house, cook, bake, and play dates thing, I was thrust back into the working world.  Yuck!  Don’t [...]
