    My Little Buffalo

What we do matters.

For four days, I frolicked throughout New York City with over 2,000 strangers.  I took classes, drank martinis, participated in my first ever 5K, & wore shoes that absolutely killed my feet: good thing they are precious, right? I roomed with three amazing women – Jill, Mae, & Mandy.  & I DIDN’T GET MURDERED IN [...]

Texts from last night.

Or, if you want to be specific, Texts from Wednesday Night. On Wednesday night, Nate & I headed out to see Dave Matthews Band in concert.  This, my friends, was an act of love on my part.  I like Dave…I really do.  But I don’t love Dave & I’ve put in four out of the [...]

I slathered myself in SPF 50 & still got a little burned. Luck of the Irish, my ass.

We have these amazing friends that have a boat & these amazing parents that babysit so we can get away for the day. You know, to relax, to celebrate our upcoming anniversary, & to hug the neck of a friend who is changing the world three embryos at a time.  & to get silly in [...]

Blair Loves Kacia.

You know how sometimes, you have a “blind friend date?”  Where you put on your best dress by Shabby Apple & walk nervously up to a local Starbucks, all to meet a GORGEOUS blonde with a personality & zest for life that cannot be matched.  & you know you’ve met someone that in former lives, [...]

Blair Loves Besties.

I love my besties.  I love our coffee dates, our giggles, our sleepovers, our sweet cards & phone calls that keep us in touch when the miles are too far. So to start off today & in celebration & love of my besties, I’m giving away a $10.00 giftcard to Starbucks for you & your [...]

This one time, I met The Pioneer Woman.

& she was beautiful & fabulous & many of my best (& new!) girlfriends were there to celebrate the event. Sara was gracious enough to snag us all tickets, so we took up an entire group! We arrived early, made sure our cookbooks were purchased, & sat down for lunch.  Water, beers, mojitos, wine…& a [...]

National Infertility Awareness Week.

Infertility affects one in eight people. Shock you? I wish it shocked me.  I wish that years ago before any of us started talking children, I didn’t know that at least a few of the besties would fight it.  I wish Meredith had not lost four babies & two years, even if it resulted in [...]

The Call for Sisterhood.

In case you missed it, I was over at Exploits of a Military Mama today.  Follow her.  Love her.  She’s a DOLL FACE.  This is my post, edited a wee bit as all blogs are continuous works in progress. ___________________________________ When Mrs. Trophy Wife asked me if I would be lucky enough to guest blog [...]

Swimming lessons!

Small fact:  I am a licensed aquatics instructor & lifeguard.  I swam on a swim team for years, I can sail, I can canoe a rapid, & I’ve tested the waters in a kayak a few times thanks to my oldest brother & a few stints at camp. So it shouldn’t be a shocker that [...]

With girlfriends & martinis, I got brave & pulled a "Britney."

On March 6, 2010 at 10:45pm,  I got my first tattoo.  (& despite the post title, I promise I was not drunk) The story really starts about five years ago, when I decided I wanted a tattoo.  I wanted to be a rebel!  I wanted to be a free spirit!  I knew EXACTLY what I [...]
