I have lived in Seattle for over 15 years and this was the first year I have ever hosted my family for Christmas. I am going to be honest, hosting out of town guests is stressful. You spend so much time prepping for their arrival – thinking about accommodations, setting agendas so they have the …
I celebrated my 45th birthday at the Honeyland Festival
While I kicked off birthday week in Vegas to see Usher in Residence, I actually celebrated my birthday with some of my besties in Houston for the inaugural Honeyland Festival.
