Mother's Day is just around the corner! I don't know about you, but Mother's Day is the one holiday I feel most unprepared for. Every year it just seems to sneak up on me! I sometimes find myself spending the entire week scrounging the stores for that perfect gift, and in our family, my mom's … Continue reading Mother’s Day Gift Guide
I can't believe we are almost a week into May already! We ended April with a whirlwind of a trip to Raleigh to visit some of our best friends immediately following my work trip to Baltimore. Suddenly, it was May -- I had a big weekend work event and entered the busiest eight weeks of … Continue reading May Goals
Recently, I was rereading my 2019 goals for this year and paused to reflect on my health goal this year -- "Fuel my body with good food and strengthen myself, physically and mentally."

Happy Friday y'all! This week has been pretty great, despite being so tired. I stayed up later than usual to watch the two-night finale of The Bachelor (did you watch? I want to know what you think!) and just haven't been able to catch up on sleep since the time changed. Someone needs to tell … Continue reading Friday Favorites
Happy March y'all! It feels a little funny to be writing that because it seems like February lasted all of two seconds and spring absolutely does not feel like it is on the way. In fact, we welcomed the first day of March with a little snow here in Maryland. So much for an early … Continue reading March Goals
It seems like forever ago now, but Jody and I (semi) recently made a trip down to Asheville, North Carolina!
