When I was contacted by a publisher and asked if I would write a book about Reno, my first thought was this: Am I being Punk’d? But then I realized it was legit and that Ashton Kutcher was not about to show up at my door; the publisher was asking …

Newcomers to Reno likely won’t appreciate how truly great it is to walk into a grocery store and not be hit by a huge waft of tobacco smoke, but those who’ve lived here a decade or more will. Our family moved from Reno to Southern California in summer 2005, when …

We recently got back from visiting our family in India.  It was a whirlwind 3 and a half weeks- including a holiday, a family wedding, meeting new members of the family, reconnecting with the old ones, friends, food, and making and reliving memories.  To sum it up, it was perfect …

Sometimes, when you’re a busy mom and are already hitting up the grocery store multiple times per week (with 4 kids in tow), it’s nice to get great, organic, local produce delivered right to your door.  I recently started having produce delivered straight to my door, and I am in …

This is a tough post for me to write since it effects a family very dear to my heart but it’s incredibly important I do my part to help raise awareness and support for my dear friend Maddie. My friend Doug Hunter and I wanted to share the story of …

My son, husband and I moved to Reno from Connecticut in late 2014. We returned to my husband’s home state the day before the 150th Nevada Day celebration and, more importantly to our then 4-year-old, the day before Halloween. Having left Connecticut without jobs lined up and a mortgage still …
