My grandma turned 80 earlier this month–not that you’d ever know it by looking at her–and to celebrate we had a big surprise party. I made a slideshow for the affair, and when my sister Katie (the family historian) sent me these old photos, it made me truly realize how much change she’s seen in her life. Everything in these photos looks so effortlessly glamorous and chic! Don’t you want to jump inside the last one and take that car for a spin?

Happy birthday, Grams! I hope I’m half as strong as you when I’m your age. xo

Happy belated birthday to my one-of-a-kind father, who growing up cleaned all my scrapes with rubbing alcohol and then blew on them so they wouldn’t hurt so bad. He also challenged me to drink a cup of vinegar, which (as I quickly learned) leads to throwing up said vinegar. Welp, thanks for the life lessons Dad! xo

About me

Hi, I'm Pam. I'm a runner, reader and recent MBA grad living in Baltimore with my husband. I work in PR, but I spend my off-hours writing here about my life, which mostly revolves around family, friends, fashion and fitness. Sometimes I throw in the occasional food photo just to make sure you're paying attention.
