Long Weekend Fun

Charlotte Food Restaurants Weekends

What a treat to have an extra day to the weekend.   I always kinda forget about these long weekends until they are here and it was WONDERFUL to have an extra day with Matt to do all the fun things. We kicked off the weekend with two Mellow Mushroom pizzas and then went straight to bed because we were both exhausted. I was on my phone the minute I opened my eyes on Saturday to see if Move That…

April Showers

Amazing Restaurants Cooking Food Shopping Weekends

Thank you all for your lovely comments on my announcement. I love hearing from you guys, and a lot of the comments about being pregnant with a toddler versus having a newborn with a toddler were reassuring that I’ve got this:) — We got lots of April showers over the past three days,  but that didn’t stop us from having a fun weekend. Sadly, the neighborhood Easter egg hunt was cancelled, but we still hosted the brunch after-party we had…

Emerson the Flower Girl

Travel Weekends

Hello and happy fall!!  It was 60 degrees outside when we went to the park this morning, and quite chilly in comparison to the Texas temps we had this weekend. We traveled to Dallas for a close college friend’s wedding. It was our first time back since moving and made me happy and sad all at the same time. We went straight from the airport to a play date at a friend’s house.  She had tacos from the amazing Velvet…

Davidson 10 Year Reunion

Travel

We’re back form a whirlwind weekend in North Carolina for my 10 year college reunion.  We had a great time, but man is traveling with Emerson getting more difficult.  It’s not the actual plane ride, but disrupting her schedule, keeping her safe when she just wants to sprint everywhere, and getting her to sleep when she is stimulated by everything around her! On to the fun stuff! We rented a beautiful lake house with all of my girlfriends and their…

Southern Spring

Durham Life Travel Weekends

Heeyyy, I spent the week down in North Carolina, and I just couldn’t get over how green it is. And we had bright blue skies Monday-Saturday. Aside from two flight cancellations, a crying baby who didn’t want me on the phone and computer, and waiting all day to figure out my plans, the actual solo plane ride went well. We got on an 8:30pm flight, and Emerson stayed up until we landed at 10pm, and then finally feel asleep. Tuesday,…

Happy Birthday Emerson Grace!

Life

I had to work on Thursday, but my mom was able to be at home to meet the carpet cleaners and mosquito guy so that my house was ready for the birthday party (and the market…). Work days always fly by, but I tried to stop and think about my labor and visited Emerson in the nursery IMG_5970.jpg IMG_5971.jpg IMG_5975.jpg IMG_5986.jpg

Hello, hello. I’m sorry it’s been a while. There’s a lot going on, which I’ll tell you about soon. As I’m sure many of you saw on social media, my sister’s wedding was last weekend! We had a fabulous time, and I’m thankful our travel went smoothly! We arrived in Charlottesville on Friday, and had a lovely cocktail party with the family that evening. Saturday, we ate a fun lunch on the downtown mall, and by late afternoon, it was…

Weekend in Ojai

Travel

Hello! We had the privilege of attending a wedding in the beautiful Ojai, California this past weekend. We stayed at the Ojai Valley Inn and the resort was stunning! I think I was so focused on packing for this trip plus all the wedding festivities, that I wasn’t anticipating how gorgeous the surrounding area would be. Expectations exceeded. We arrived on Thursday afternoon, and there was a welcome party at a neat little picnic shop. Everything was outdoors and the…

La Jolla Bachelorette

Pregnancy Travel

Do you get a friends baby moon too? If so, I had an excuse to take one for my bff’s bachelorette party last weekend. Sadly, I can’t uphold my duty as a bridesmaid since the wedding is so close to my due date. Matt headed to Nantucket for a guys weekend, so we each got one more ‘party’ before we sit in our house for at least 6 months:) I can’t say I’ll miss getting on a plane. We rented…
