Happy Easter!! I thought I was beating Matt’s cold, but it has gotten the best of me today:( I wasn’t able to go to church or brunch, but my parents were nice enough to order us a pizza and come over for the Duke game. I really thought I was on the up-and-up Saturday, and attempted a date night. I figured beer is the best medicine (only in the moment…) Matt and I stopped at Milltown in Chapel Hill and…

Hello friends. What a glorious spring weekend! Aren’t you so excited that it’s here? Matt and I had a rare weekend with no plans. While the spring weather made me want to eat lots of healthy fruits and salads, I somehow ended up having beer, meat, and fries both nights. I got my wish for a burger! Friday night, we met some friends at Fullsteam Brewery for a drink and then grabbed dinner at Bull City Burger. I had the…
Hello! I’m just getting around to posting a few pictures from our very short trip to Bald Head Island. Matt and I met my parents, my sister, and little Mazen on the island for a quick getaway and some wedding business. The temperatures were unseasonably cold, but we still had a blast. We bundled up and ventured out on Saturday afternoon to see the house we rented for the wedding week. I stood on the balcony and it was so…
A holiday and a half day due to ice made last week fly by…and now we’re almost in February. I can’t say I’m too sad that January is almost over:) We had plans to head to Duke for our weekly Fuqua Friday, but because of the icy conditions, it was cancelled. Matt swung by the grocery store and picked up a package of bacon and a hunk of pizza dough and a beautiful pie was born. We declared this the…
Hi and happy MLK! There’s nothing like a holiday full of laundry and cleaning. After a fantastic weekend getaway that is! We drove to Charlottesville on Friday night and were welcomed with two incredible homemade pizzas and a crazy beer. Kath and Kanz make a mean whole wheat pizza, and they even made mozzarella from scratch. I had tasted this beer once before at a beer festival, but holy cow is it good! I’m loving staying in on these cold…
I squeezed in a lot of action during the past couple of days in Miami. Matt and I wanted a quick and warm getaway, and when I saw a flight sale I thought, why not South Beach? It was so.much.fun and quite different than many other place I’ve visited in the US. I loooved the international vibe and the European style sidewalk cafes. And the art deco architecture is so neat. Yall know me – eatin’ and drinkin’ is what…
It was a low-key weekend around here because of the big holiday week coming up. So, we got drinks & nachos with friends on Friday, and had date night on Saturday. Of course, other boring things like laundry, spinning, and grocery shopping took place. Matt and I have been planning to buy our wedding bands during the annual sale at Diamonds Direct – I was expecting it around Christmas, but was surprised to hear that it was this weekend! So,…
Heyy, I’m back from a fabulous girls weekend in Dallas. It certainly wasn’t a restful weekend, but it was so.much.fun. I’ve been to Dallas a couple of times, but I feel like I got to know the city a bit better this time and I just loved the vibe of Uptown. My friend Liz was such a fantastic host! So without further ado – some weekend highlights: Mambo Taxis [sangria + frozen margarita] and the most amazing shrimp tacos with…
There’s really nothing better than pizza and wine. Actually, there is – gourmet pizza and wine with friends… These lovely ladies (and the men) and I went to the new Pizzeria Toro for a late birthday celebration. The restaurant is a adorable, but small, and we were told there would be over an hour wait for a table. Luckily, we were seated after only 30 minutes! Our table shared pizzas topped with… oyster mushrooms and truffle cheese, delicatta squash, gorgonzola,…
