Like most women, I love shoes. In fact, I’ve devoted many posts to my love of heels. However, my feet seemed to be conspiring against me when a year ago they randomly grew a half size. Not only did I no longer fit into about 1/2 the pairs of shoes in my closet (believe me, [...]

My Funny Valentine
Hope everyone had a fabulous Valentine’s Day. At the House of Usher every day is Valentine’s Day – meaning I expect to be treated like a princess on a daily basis (tongue firmly planted in cheek), but we did plan a nice dinner to ring in the holiday. As you may know, SF Strong Beer [...]

How I got rid of cable and lived to tell about it
One of my favorite things about being married to Will is that I now have a live-in IT guy. In fact, most of you don’t know this, but Will’s nick-name was “Bill Nye the Science Guy” in elementary school. As you can imagine, technology plays a pretty large part of life in the Usher home. [...]

It’s almost over, but not just yet…
2009 has been a great year – we experienced weddings and engagements with great friends, Will and I went on many weekend getaways and we even celebrated our first wedding anniversary. Rather than bore you with a long list of highlights – especially since most have already been captured here – I compiled some photos [...]

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree…
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at the House of Usher. Last year we decided to forgo the Christmas tree route and settled on a fresh wreath to simulate that fresh Christmas tree scent. Thankfully, this afternoon we set out to get our Christmas tree. Of course, per usual, a typical trip [...]

Post Thanksgiving Thanks
Is Thanksgiving really over already? We had a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner – and, for the first holiday ever – had (some of) the Ushers and the Manos’ under the same roof. My dad cooked dinner at our place and Will’s dad and littlest sister came to the house to join us. Also present were both [...]

Urban Gardening
Up until last weekend, San Francisco was having incredible November weather. The sun was shining, the air was crisp, and all we wanted to do was be outside. We happen to have a little outdoor patio that measures about 8′x8′ and it was starting to look a bit disgusting with the leaves and dirt that [...]

Living the Life, Calistoga-Style
As most of my readers know, Will and I celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary last weekend in Calistoga. At the recommendation of my friend Becky, we stayed at Dr. Wilkinson’s, right on the strip of downtown Calistoga. As I mentioned in my Yelp review, the hotel had a classic, kitschy feel and the staff was [...]

We Made It – 1 Year and Counting
This weekend marked our 1 Year Wedding Anniversary. I cannot believe this year has flown by so quickly. Here is one of my favorite pictures, taken by my friend at our wedding last year. Here’s to many more!

Tying the Knot Never Looked So Good
August 29, 2009 – A wedding to remember on so many accounts. One of Will’s best friends, John, finally married his longtime girlfriend, Ashlee. We were excited about this wedding for so many reasons. Will has known John since 2nd grade, so they grew up together and even lived together during Will’s last year of [...]
