Eccentricities of a Wisconsin gal living in Jersey
To add to the ever-growing echo on the interwebs, 2020 was a year unlike anyone could have imagined. When Connor and I got married, we had no idea that barely 4 months later—and en route back to the United States from our honeymoon in New Zealand—we'd be entering into a weeks-long stay-at-home order and working...

#NatConDisney: The Races, part 2 Where to begin with the Disneyland Half Marathon?! We went into it not really knowing what to expect and, considering we'd just run a 10K the day before, just wanted to finish the race. Well, I'm so proud to say that not only did we finish the race, we also... Continue Reading →
It's your not-so-typical Natalie/Connor Friday night here at the happiest place on earth. Instead of gallivanting around the parks as per usual, we are lounging in our room before dinner, awaiting the much-anticipated event of the last few months: the Walt Disney World Half Marathon. This is the first half marathon for us both and just... Continue Reading →
We're back in New Jersey after a long, relaxing (and much-needed) vacay in Wisconsin. This is also the first post of 2015, which makes it the perfect time for a 15 for 15 list! You all know how much I detest New Years resolutions; they're mostly false promises that very few people actually adhere to and... Continue Reading →
#wdwnatcon That's right, we used a hashtag for our Disney trip (thanks for the inspiration, Meghan). Five fun-filled days of excellent food, drinks, and, of course, the kind of magic one can only get on a Walt Disney World vacation. Quick back story: I haven't been down to WDW in two and a half years; The Boy... Continue Reading →
When The Boy and I moved into our apartment in Princeton in August 2013, we had recently traveled up to Providence, Rhode Island to see some friends and enjoy some theater...naturally, we came back with a growler from Trinity Brewing Company (like ya do). Not quite knowing what to do with the growler, we just... Continue Reading →
The West Wing, House of Cards, Veep, The Daily Show, The American President...I'm a huge fan of political dramas and satires, yet I have no interest in actual politics (go figure). I first went to Washington, DC three years ago and was utterly fascinated by all there is to see and do; this past weekend... Continue Reading →
Real women don't drink light beer. Confession: despite being from Brew City, I haven't always enjoyed beer. In fact, it wasn't until moving to the East Coast that I became a bit of a beer snob; specifically, a Wisconsin beer snob. We take our beer seriously in Wisconsin. From Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee (OMG best brewery... Continue Reading →
Let's talk about the first time I saw Springsteen in concert... ...that was last weekend. The boy, being born and bred in New Jersey, is quite an avid fan (to say the least). A few months ago during the heat of graduate school when Bruce announced some U.S. tour dates, he jumped at tickets to The... Continue Reading →
