My husband, Dan loves to grill, he is known for his amazing BBQ so it was a given that whatever theme Everleigh’s 1st birthday party was he’d be providing his culinary gems.

HBO’s Big Little Lies Immersive Theater Event at The Victorian
This week I was invited to attend HBO Home Entertainment’s immersive theatrical experience inspired by the Emmy-nominated HBO Limited Series BIG LITTLE LIES, which is now available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download.

The two-story building was moved to its current location in 1973.

Luckily, my husband is pretty good about knowing when I need a little alone downtime and let’s me go catch a show or two with no distractions. He’ll usually take our daughter to the pool while I catch a new movie or show on…
