Say you’re in San Francisco, it’s a Wednesday, and you feel like having champagne. And you’re broke, or you’re not broke, but it’s not in your blood to drop $65 on a bottle of sparkling wine in a so-so restaurant. And maybe you’re not even all that hungry. It’s 3 o’clock, and long before any kind of [...]

On days like this, I need a good view. Even if it’s just a new photo on my desktop. Ash tried for so long to get me out of bed this morning that he ended up back in bed himself. We taunted the clock until the last minute, blankets pinned at every corner, and then rushed to get [...]

I really can’t imagine a better wedding favour than our little army of piccolos. This is such a good idea. My mom called a liqour store and got a bulk discount on 70. Then, I ordered some custom tags on Etsy. It was the first time I ever saw people come back for their favours. Plus, we grabbed [...]

Something about this red pick-up in the snow sings Merry Christmas to me. Maybe it’s the little face peeking out the back window. Merry Christmas to you all! See you in the New Year! Love, Jen Photo by Cig Harvey via Frolic

I have been quoted in the last four weeks saying things like: “Otra de la mismo!” (This means “same again, please” and can be used in reference to margaritas, mimosas, kisses) “Do you think we’ve lost the ability to hold up our own heads?” (17 days poolside at an all-inclusive will do that to you) [...]

Well, this is it. My last blog post as Miss Hargreaves. Today, Bill, the Facility Manager at work (not to mention, the loveliest Scott you’ll ever meet – perhaps, even, a gift from my Nanny) – brought me a very offical nametag reading “Jennifer Wilson.” Yes, I am beginning to feel like someone new. I’ve written and erased about a [...]

Like poetry, sometimes places or people ring true in the depths of you. And that is how you know. It’s how I know one day I must go to Little Sparta’s Garden so my soul can keep growing. It’s how I know to marry Ash this weekend and claim my glimpse of the sea. And [...]

…Champagne Wednesday as fiance and fiance , we plan to spend alone. I suggest you go to the Libra Room and listen to live Jazz over a Roasted Beet Salad with Boursin ($7) and a bottle of Il Mionetto ($18!). As Ash tells me people in the smoky underground Chicago Jazz clubs say: That’s it Charlie. You got it Charlie. [...]

There’s a lady in California who writes a blog I’ve been reading lately. You can visit her here if you like. On her far right coloumn, she left this little quote: “You don’t really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around – and why his parents [...]
