From the very first time I rode Disney’s Haunted Mansion ride as a little girl, I’ve loved Madame Leota. She’s easily my favorite character associated with the Haunted Mansion backstory, and I can’t wait to see Jamie Lee Curtis portray her in this Friday’s live-action film. I’m hoping the filmmakers lean into the fact that…
As you probably know by now, I’m always on the lookout for great restaurants and bars to share with you. I often find myself at The Fashion Mall in Indianapolis and, if you know this part of town, you’ve probably seen Provision restaurant attached to Ironworks Hotel. The establishment’s second-story deck has caught my eye…
Some of you may know that in addition to my passion for travel and speakeasies, I’m a massive Disney fan — the Parks, the movies, Aulani, the whole nine yards. I was a “Disney kid” growing up and I never let go of the magic. Recently, I started sharing Disney content on Instagram again, and…
When we visited Ireland last month, one of my top priorities was finding a speakeasy to share with all of you. While Ireland never went through Prohibition like the United States did, the speakeasy aesthetic is gaining popularity, especially in Dublin. I found one spot, in particular, though, that I knew I had to visit….
When compared to similarly sized cities like Cincinnati and Louisville, Indianapolis has a notable gap in one specific area — independent bookstores. Jake Budler and Julia Breakey noticed this hole and decided to do something about it. The couple is the driving force behind Tomorrow Bookstore, a welcoming space that aims to build community while…
The year was 1958. It was a momentous one for Augusta National Golf Course. The now-iconic bridges that span Rae’s Creek were dedicated in honor of Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson. And, a young pro by the name of Arnold Palmer took home his first Masters win. He would go on to win the tournament…
At the end of the day, Augusta National Golf Club’s Magnolia Lane is a driveway. But don’t let that fact fool you into thinking it’s commonplace. In fact, Magnolia Lane might just be America’s most iconic driveway. Even those who have never picked up a golf club know the importance of The Masters within the…
We couldn’t have a Masters-themed cocktail series without The Azalea. The unofficial drink of Augusta National Golf Course, this libation pays homage to the iconic azalea bushes that bloom just in time for the tournament every year. The Augusta Chronicle recently gave golf fans a glimpse into history, sharing how azaleas became such an integral…
There are few things more synonymous with The Masters than the green jacket that is given to the winner of the storied golf tournament. The first jacket was bestowed upon Horton Smith, winner of the Augusta National Invitation Tournament, in 1934. The tournament’s current name wasn’t adopted until 1939 when Ralph Guldahl beat the legendary…
I grew up going to Walt Disney World Resort and now I love to take my girls as often as I can. Since life isn’t a permanent vacation, though, and I want them to experience destinations outside of Magic Kingdom, too, we don’t always make it to Lake Buena Vista as often as we’d like….
