A very happy birthday to Mazen, who was born early this AM!

He’s such a cute bundle, and I look at him and can’t believe he’s my relative!

A birthday today was meant to be because when I was driving home from work I saw that the brand new Cupcake Bar in Durham was open. Matt and I set out on a jog with $5 in my shoe and a plan to end our run with cake. We celebrated Mazen’s birthday with a vanilla cupcake, the only thing left in the case after a successful first day. When I blew out the candle, I made a wish for a beautiful life.

I've created this blog because I'm in a bit of a quarter life crisis. Since graduating from college in 2008 and earning an advanced degree in school psychology in May, I still don't know what career path to follow. All I know is that time is moving way too fast and I find myself living only for the weekends. Bear with me as I attempt to reclaim my twenties by finding pleasure and balance in the work week and incorporating my passions of food, fashion, fitness, and fun into everyday life. 
Aww, how sweet! Congratulations Aunty Laura!
