Eccentricities of a Wisconsin gal living in Jersey
Milwaukee ain't called Brew City for nothing. Despite growing up in Milwaukee, I haven't always been a beer drinker (what can I say - it's an acquired taste, even for this gal). It's only been in the last few years (and ironically, since I've been living on the East Coast) that I've grown to like beer.... Continue Reading →
#natalies365photoproject Last year on my birthday (when I turned the big 3-0), I embarked on a year-long journey of taking one photo every day for the entire year. This wasn't my first go-around with a 365 photo project; I did one when I first moved to New Jersey and started it on my 25th birthday.... Continue Reading →
Just. Keep. Walking. You know, Dory was right: When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming. Well, for Annie and I, it's more like Just keep walking (and in keeping with our preferred method of marketing lingo: #imawalkdis) With our two-year walkaversary (yup, we... Continue Reading →
It occurred to me Sunday afternoon, as I was rummaging around in the refrigerator (and noticed that we have four—yes four—cold Wisconsin pumpkin beers), that The Boy and I have not done a pumpkin beer tasting at all this season, and Halloween is only a few days away. Oh. The. Humanity. So what better time... 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 →
It all started with an unexpected flight delay last Thursday morning. Well, four of them actually. The outlook for getting from Milwaukee to Philadelphia was grim. With the impending doom of a snow storm on the east coast, we rebooked our flight back east from the holidays to this morning (lucky too cause our multi-delayed... Continue Reading →
My 2012 election day went a little something like this: November 6 8:24am — Wake up. Just living the cushy 10 to 6 life, like ya do. 9:42am — Cast my first vote as a New Jersey resident (gosh, that's weird to say). *avoided social media and news outlets as much as possible throughout the...

Spent this past weekend in NYC at a marketing, development, and ticketing conference...I learned a lot, schmoozed a bit, got some fresh marketing ideas, and did something new each day. Fact: I also spent more waking hours in the city than I did in my apartment. A 9AM start time + commuting from Princeton + an... Continue Reading →
"I want you to count backward from 100." An anesthesia mask looms above. "Here, this tastes like bubble gum." I think to myself, "Ew, it most certainly does NOT taste like bubble gum." I start counting and barely make it to 97 when the room gets hazy and then...darkness. That was 10 years ago this... Continue Reading →
