5 years ago I made the hardest decision that has completely changed my life. 

I woke up March 17, 2021 and decided it was time to get serious and change.  I’ve lost almost 100lbs, changed everything from how I eat to what I do for fun. 

It’s not easy, it’s a conscious decision I make EVERY SINGLE DAY.

📌Ni Hao Bao (Scottsdale AZ)

Last week we had the most amazing dinner at Ni Hao Bao. You have to check out this family owned restaurant in North Scottsdale. They make their bao and dumplings in house every day. And the homage to the owners family weaved throughout the restaurant.

Everything we tried was fantastic. From the KFC to the Pork Belly to the Churro Bao!  You must try it all!

Less than 8 weeks post op and I did my first run. 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️

Not gonna lie…I’ve been dreading it. 

Was it hard…yep.
Did it feel good…nope. 
Am I glad I got back out there….absolutely. 

Plus I’m already signed up for Pat’s run in April and 2 races in 2027, so I have to get with the program. 🤣🤣

Last weekend we attended the new show by @DrunkShakespeare in Phoenix to see Drunk Romeo & Juliet, and we laughed the entire time. 🤣

It’s outrageous, clever, chaotic in the best possible way, and absolutely hilarious.

One actor takes five shots of whiskey and then jumps into an epic attempt to retell one of the moat iconic stories of all time… Romeo & Juliet.

Yes, it’s as wild as it sounds. Yes, you should go. 😂🥃

We had such a blast and it was the perfect night out. Great date night idea or for a girls night out. Catch it before it’s gone!✨

Angry Crab Shack 🦀 is hosting the upcoming Mardi Gras Festival in downtown Chandler. We were lucky enough to be hosted and sampled the menu for the event (think crawfish and shrimp boils, gumbo, and a special Mardi Gras lobster roll). You don’t want to miss the festival or the delicious food and drinks!

Last week we were hosted by Pizzicata at their newest location in Glendale for a fun evening of food, drinks, and pasta making. 

There are 3 Valley locations all serving up authentic Italian food. They are best known for their wood-fired pizzas, including Neapolitan and Roman Pinsa styles, and homemade pastas.

Perfect for a date night or celebration!

Enjoy!

Breakfast dreams do come true at Scramble, an Arizona Breakfast & Lunch Joint ☀️🥞

This locally loved Arizona favorite serves fresh, farm-to-table meals in bright, modern spaces in Tempe and North Phoenix, perfect for everything from a quick bite to a long, leisurely brunch.

The portions are very generous, and every dish was a hit. We’re still thinking about the cinnamon roll, the comforting biscuits and gravy, and the must-order Chicago Brizza, a breakfast pizza loaded with sausage, hash browns, monterey jack, and cheddar. 🤤🍕

If you’re brunching in AZ, Scramble deserves a spot at the top of your list.

We finally got to experience Hearsay, the gorgeous, new contemporary restaurant at Esplanade (Camelback & 24th St), and y’all are in for a treat.

Run by David Morton of the legendary Morton Steakhouse family, Hearsay is his very first Phoenix concept, and it shows in every detail. The menu truly has something for everyone: comforting classics like the Grilled Cheese & Tomato Bisque, Crispy Chicken, the Steakhouse Burger, and the Tuna Poke Bowl. And don’t even get me started on the Crunchy Salted Caramel Cheesecake. That was heaven!!! 😍✨

They graciously hosted us after our daughter’s college graduation ceremony, and it was the perfect spot for a quiet, celebratory meal with a warm atmosphere, thoughtful service, and food that hits every note.

If you haven’t been yet, add it to your Phoenix must-try list. 🍽️🥂✨

My family and I recently enjoyed a hosted dinner at @KonaGrill to try their new Christmas Menu and it did not disappoint.

Kona Grill is a classic American grill, and their holiday lineup is seriously worth a visit before the season’s over!

Our must-try favorites:
🍸 Holiday Espresso Martini — festive and flawless
🍤 Dynamite Shrimp — crispy, spicy perfection
🥟 Potstickers — always a family fave
🐟 Sweet-Chili Glazed Sea Bass — so buttery and flavorful
🥩 Sliced Kona Filet — tender and cooked perfectly
🍰 Butter Cake — the only way to end the night 🙌

This special menu is only available until December 30th, so get it while you can! 
Such a fun and delicious way to celebrate the season.

☕️🏃‍♀️ Hot Chocolate Run, Phoenix! 🏃‍♀️☕️

Phoenix showed OFF this morning! Perfect desert sunrise, cool weather, and honestly…I think I ran faster knowing there was chocolate waiting at the finish line. 😅

There’s something about this race that just feels pure joy…probably the chocolate. 🍫 

Already looking forward to next year. 

PS…Hubby had my tray of goodies. I brought my own sugar free hot cocoa. 😉

We just had an amazing meal at @Craft64Chandler and… WOW. 🤩🍕

Craft 64 was just named the #1 pizzeria in Arizona AND the 26th-best in the entire U.S. — and after today, I can absolutely see why.

Every single dish is made in-house from scratch. No freezers, no microwaves, no deep fryers…just fresh ingredients and incredible flavor in every bite. You can absolutely taste the difference.

And beer lovers… prepare yourselves. They keep 10 CRAFT 64 brews on tap, plus 20 rotating handles and 30 more cold craft beers. 🍺✨

Our favorites of the night:
🍕 The handmade fresh mozzarella (made every morning!)
🍕 The Meatball Hero Pizza — unreal
🍝 The Pasta “64” — comfort in a bowl
🍉 The Watermelon Margarita — phenomenal
🍺 The Surf’s Up Golden Ale + the “64” Fashioned — both were perfection

If you haven’t been yet… run. Craft 64 deserves every award it gets. 💯🔥

🍣 The sushi lovers in my family checked out the new Tomu-san Sushi restaurant in North Scottsdale.  They LOVED it. 

They came home raving about the nigri and fun rolls, especially the one topped with salmon roe. 

Definitely go check it out if you are into sushi!🍣 Opens today, Monday 11/17!

So….I guess I’m 50 now! 

I actually feel better physically than I did when I turned 30 or 40. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

And I completed my 50 before 50 list last month. ✔️✔️
