I use the phrase “weekend” lightly because I feel like even though we had to work Wednesday thru Friday, we kind of tried to act like we were still on vacation and Friday rolled around real quick! Gotta love a nice, long holiday! Who knew that so many people took off and closed the entire week of the 4th! I’m…
I started this post before the Holiday weekend, slowly, as an outlet that was desperately needed for my frustration and clarity. I was a little M.I.A on the social media/blogging front last week because honestly, I just didn’t feel like it. The week was busy and life just gets crazy sometimes, and I was frustrated and exhausted. Don’t we all…
We had a fun, fun weekend celebrating our “Daddy”! Friday night we grabbed a delicious burger from the Chuck Truck (parked at Community Tap every Friday). There is a reason why they are called the “Chuck Truck”, they serve a dang good burger. My favorite is the Caprese Burger and Nelson usually goes with the Black and Blue or the…
This trip to St. Maarten was completely last minute. We were offered use of a timeshare and literally bought our plane tickets about 3 weeks before the trip. However, even with procrastination, our trip went very smooth! Luckily, St. Maarten is an easy 3.5 hour direct flight from Charlotte, so pretty easy to get to, and busy season ended in…
The Race So, those of you that read my post on Friday or follow me on any social media outlet may know that I ran a 1/2 marathon this weekend, so that pretty much sums up our weekend. I completed the 1/2 and now hours after the finish line, I can say that I did enjoy it, but I might…
Kicking off this “I got 5 on it” Friday series, I am sharing 5 ways that I am prepping for my race tomorrow morning. I don’t run a lot of races but for some reason I get REALLY nervous before any type of performance. I make “goals” for myself, but I try not to be hard on myself with them.…
Thursday night jumped off the “weekend” with the Artisphere Opening Night Gala. The party was at The Embassy Suites and was a blast. Would have been better if everyone didn’t have to go to work the next morning, but still so fun! What I Wore MuMu Jumpsuit | Twine & Twig Collar | Marc Fisher Wedges | Cat D Sunnies (only $24!!) This…
A recap of the rest of our fun weekend. A Saturday full of celebrating a special birthday. And a Sunday of church and brunch…yet again. Our weekends seem to be pretty predictable lately, but I love it. Saturday: The Puppy Pawty Saturday afternoon, one of our best friend’s had their 1st birthday PAWTY with a sweet puppy theme. The birthday boy,…
Good Friday Kids were out of school on Friday, so my sister, Meredith, and I took the older kiddos down to Atlanta to see our other sister, Dori, and take a trip to the Aquarium. I have never been to the GA Aquarium, so honestly this was a treat for me too! The place was a zoo, considering it was…
I cannot describe the luxury of sleeping in, in an incredibly comfortable bed, in a dark room, with no children waking me up. It doesn’t happen often enough, but it is heaven when it does. This girls loves her sleep. On Saturday, (after sleeping in, of course) we went to a great coffee shop, Trade & Lore, where we got…
