Contemporary and jewelry stores are an important breed of shopping. Yet, can often be seen as passé. While the ease of shopping online from the comfort of your own place on your computer is inviting, it definitely has its time and place. I was reminded […]
(I have loved Stonefire Grill for several years now and was so excited when they invited me out to experience their newest location in Torrance. Alas, I could not make it to the South Bay in time so I had our awesome contributor, Melanie, go […]
While many California wine destinations (and just cool California towns in general) are on my radar. I admit, Livermore Valley was not a spot I knew much about nor was it much on my mind until last year. I also thought Livermore was in Sacramento […]
*Sponsored Post My first California road trip of 2018 is in the books. A few weeks back I had the chance to run up to San Luis Obispo County for a couple of days. Granted, this was in the middle of the dreadful and devastating […]
I’ve been fortunate to have several incredible moments for Along Comes Mary. From trips and events, to meeting incredible wine makers and chefs. One of those highlights was attending the evening with Bob’s Burgers at the PaleyFest last year. Not only am I a huge […]

Before I met my husband, I admit, I was not much of a sci-fi fan at all. Or, pop culture person, you might say. I’d certainly gotten hilarious looks from other guys I dated when I might mention, very casually, that I’ve never seen Star […]
Another year ending can usually mean one thing: Mary is at her computer procrastinating at keeping up with her annual tradition: Choosing a word of the year. (But, unlike some past years, I don’t have a glass of wine in hand.) Since my first year […]
Well, I finally did it. After several amazing trips to Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, we at last drove the world-famous 17 Mile Drive on our holiday trip with the dogs. Beautiful and tranquil, there are indeed several spots in the area with just as gorgeous views and […]
Something that I will always remember about 2017 (aside from getting married–that was sort of a big deal) are the phenomenal concerts I was fortunate enough to attend. Literally some of the most fantastic concerts I have seen yet happened this year. Just for fun, […]
