What I Ate Wednesday

I go through phases where packing lunch is fun and phases when it just sucks. This week is one of the weeks where it sucks. Maybe it is because I didn’t spend much time planning for it or maybe its just that I don’t like my leftovers for this week. I don’t know. So as…

Tuesday Things | September 20th

1. Apple picking is awesome! We spent our Saturday driving 2 hours out of Charlotte to visit Skytop Orchard and it was awesome. Piper went too, B climbed trees (but I am not allowed to post the pictures…okay maybe one…hehe), and we enjoyed the first cool weekend in our area. 2. Boots were brought out…

What’s Cookin’? | September 18th

What a great weekend!! Although there have been clouds hangin’ over North Carolina I have really been enjoying this glimpse of fall weather, and to make things even better, I didn’t have to work again this weekend! My boots have definitely made an appearance, even if it is only for a few days this time….

Fitness Friday?

I am thinking about instituting a Fitness Friday post. Truth be told this is more for me than for anyone else. Taking classes and fitness in general is not only healthy it is part of [one of ] my jobs. I have certainly been slacking of late and this may be my way of keeping…

High Cotton

On Mothers Day weekend my parents, B, and I spent the weekend in Greenville, SC to attend the wedding of a close family friend. She was my best friend through my cancer treatment and was my only bridesmaid. Greenville has a cute downtown and was a perfect place to be for Mothers Day. Only thing…

What I Ate Wednesday

My food is not photogenic. Really, there is no way to make food in tupperware containers look good. I no longer think I am a bad blogger for not photographing all of my eats because I think I am doing you a kindness by bot subjecting you to such dreadful photos. This is all of…

Tuesday Things

1. It is only Tuesday and Sunday’s cooking session has already been a life saver. It was soooooo nice to be able to come home from a kick butt yoga class and only have to warm up our Snobby Joes and toast some bread. 2. I really wanted to post a funny photo of Piper…

Birthday Wish List

Even though I am almost 28 years old I still love celebrating birthdays! Celebrating whatever we can makes it easier to endure the more mundane times. So I thought I would share my birthday wish list. 1. Hitch and Bike Rack via We already have one of the other kinds of bike racks that don’t…

I Got it Together…for now

Phew, it has been a full day! I can’t believe the weekend is already over. After staying out past my bed time at the Blues and BBQ festival grubbing on some BBQ and ribbon fries while hanging out with some friends. It was crazy traffic getting in and crazy lines to get food. By the…
