Hope y’all had a nice Halloween. Can you believe it’s November? Friday was a glorious evening. I headed straight to Whole Foods for the wine tastings and ingredients for lasagna, and then got the kitchen all cozy with candles and music for a night of cooking. I also picked up this red blend from one of our favorites of the Mendoza trip. I found this awesome black lava salt cashew cheese to use in the lasagna. It was a creamy…

I traveled back to Matt’s home state of Maryland this weekend for a lovely wedding by the water. Though it was a quick trip, we were able to spend Friday night with Matt’s parents in Annapolis. They took us out on the town for an awesome seafood dinner and then to a prohibition-era bourbon bar with delicious cocktails. It was so nice to see them and spend some time in the beautiful harbor town. On Saturday, we made the short…
Summer break is over and I’m back to school tomorrow. I was seriously spoiled so I know it’s time to do some work! I spent a week with my family at Carolina beach back in North Carolina. It was super relaxing and we spent our days at the beach and our evenings cooking seafood, drinking wine, and playing games. The wonderful weather and beautiful beach made me miss NC! Once I was home last week, I went into serious nesting…
School is out and summer is here! We kicked things off with a visit from my parents! We had such a fun, relaxed trip with lots of eating and shopping. On Friday we stayed in and enjoyed drinks on the balcony. It was nice to take it easy at the end of the week and catch up with my parents. Saturday, we got up and headed south for a 3ish mile hike at the Cedar Ridge Preserve. It was hot,…
Oh hey, and happy belated Easter. Due to the holiday, I had Friday and Monday off from school, so I traveled east to Virginia to see my sister! Of course, my parents drove up from NC, and Matt’s family from MD, so we had a big gathering! Friday night, my parents offered to babysit, so we headed out on the town. We started at a cute bar called Alley Light, where we all ordered Bourbon! We moved on to Maya…
I had a wonderful week in Maryland. It was so great, in fact, that I didn’t take many pictures. But you guys all know what Thanksgiving food looks like – we had the full spread of turkey and delicious sides, plus pumpkin pie. And a tasty prosecco after some quality autumn beers. I got to see my parents on Friday – they drove up to Annapolis and we spent a blustery day walking around by the water, looking in shops,…
We have a dreary, rainy day here at Matt’s house, and the rain is expected to turn to snow! I had planned to post my weekend recap, but forgot to bring my camera cord. I have the whole week off of work [beyond amazing], so I first went to Baltimore to visit my grandmother! I met my sister and my mom there and we had a nice time drinking manhattans, catching up, entertaining Mazen, and shopping! Today, I arrived at…
Hello! How is it Thursday again? The work weeks are already flying by! We had our open house tonight – lots of nervous parents and lots of questions. And man, people sure dress to the nines for open houses these days:) But on to the fun stuff. We were lucky enough to get to spend Labor Day weekend in wine country. My sister and I have been planning this trip for well over a year – I can’t believe it’s…
Hello! I’m back from a quick trip to NC! The timing couldn’t have been worse for this wedding, but I couldn’t bare to miss the opportunity to see friends and family. I flew in late Friday and back on Sunday. I got to see both my sister and Mazen and my parents for Friday dinner! We hit up Tyler’s in our old stomping ground in Durham. I enjoyed a beer and a pork belly sandwich before heading over to the…
