We had a wonderful weekend of celebrations over here! Matt’s parents came down for the long weekend – we hadn’t seen them in 6 months! Emerson was on cloud nine and played with them non-stop for 3 straight days. Friday was Matt’s birthday, and I wanted to get away for a little date with him. He had the day off, so I surprised him with a picnic lunch in Freedom Park. Given that we’ve had two outings with out the…

‘Tis the week before Christmas! Anyone traveling anywhere really exciting? We had a great weekend with a few fun outings. Friday, I had a girls night with some friends at Sweet Spot studio for a cookie decorating class. The studio had a gluten free cookie option which was so thoughtful of them!!! The cookies were already cut and cooked, and we learned how to mix royal icing and then practiced different techniques on the cookies. We also brought wine and…
What a treat to have such a long weekend! Matt’s parents, sister, and sister’s husband arrived on Wednesday afternoon. I was out at my PT appointment, and then went to Whole Foods for the turkey and some last minute groceries. I also picked up pumpkin pie and quiche from Sunflower Baking Company, and then a fall pie and mushroom pot pie from Move That Dough Baking Co. Sunflower is one of my go-to’s for GF baked goods, and I decided this…
We had another celebratory weekend – this time for my birthday! My mom and dad came back to Charlotte on Wednesday, so that my dad could meet baby Avery (he was on a men’s hiking trip in Yosemite when she was born). They brought sparking rose and we toasted to the new addition before having Thai takeout on Thursday night. Em was excited to have some extra attention again and spent most of the visit pretending she was Angelina (or…
This beautiful star mobile from Friday Street Project on Etsy. I saw something similar by Pehr, and this one was half the price and custom! This recipe for salmon burgers. I’ve made it three times now with fresh salmon from the skillet + gf panko and it’s a good one. Reusable food storage bags – How did I not know these exist? I actually bought them to store my pump parts in and will be getting more (maybe the silicone ones)…
We have been cramming so much into these last few weekends. We have one more as a threesome before my mom joins us for #babywatch! Friday started like any other weekend – with homemade pizza. I can’t remember why, but it was super late before we got Emerson to bed, and I was exhausted making the pizza at nearly 9pm. I told Matt I have one more weekend of pizza-making in me, but then we are switching to delivery so…
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…
How was your weekend? This week is dragging slowly because Emerson is sick and Matt is traveling. But, we had a wonderful weekend with some incredible fall-like weather! We had our porch screen in last week and we spent a ton of time outside enjoying the space over the weekend. At one point we even had to bring blankets outside because it was so cold! I am in love with the porch and am sooo happy we did it. We…
We continued the theme of home improvement over here this weekend. We worked all day Saturday, and I was so tired by Saturday night that I could barely find the energy to go out on a date with Matt. We knocked so many things of our to-do list, though, so we had a Sunday funday that involved a movie and a concert. Matt worked from a co-working space on Friday, so we kicked off the weekend with a trip to…
