Hello and happy Thanksgiving week! We are hosting Matt’s family and I’m excited to stay in Charlotte. Aside from a lot of grocery shopping, food planning, and cleaning, I’m hoping it’s a relaxing week. Other than that, there’s not a lot going on over here. I’m just enjoying this slower season of life and spending most of my time at home. Last week, my doctor cleared me for exercise, but I’m working with the pelvic floor PT to add specific…
-We decided to screen in our porch! I figure we’ll be spending a lot more weekends at home and I’ve dreamed of having a screened in porch as long as I can remember. I’m so excited to see how it looks (hoping it doesn’t make our living room too dark) and to hang out outside when it’s no longer 90+ degrees -Speaking of fall temps, I’m SOOOO excited for fall clothes and normal clothes. I actually don’t mind maternity clothes…
Hello! I’m popping in from Portugal to share a few photos from the first half of our trip. We’re staying at the amazing Pine Cliffs resort in the Algarve region, and have been blown away by this property! There were some mixed reviews when we researched, but we have loved everything about the resort. It’s one of the most peaceful places I’ve ever visited and the grounds are immaculate. Plus, the weather has been absolutely gorgeous. Emerson did well on…
TJ’s Green Goddess Salad Dressing – I’m the world’s pickiest when it comes to store bought salad dressing. The only other one I’ve ever liked was this lemon dressing from Whole Foods. But I like this one!! And it’s cheap and pretty healthy, so this is a win. Synergy 48oz kombucha – This isn’t really a new discovery, but more of a realization that this huge kombucha is only $8.99 and it’s a way better value that the small ones.…
We had a super relaxing weekeind over here. How about you? I was craving takeout on Friday, but Matt’s face was so sad when I suggested we skip pizza, that I went out and bought olives and Matt threw together a pizza. It was a chilly day and red wine sounded delightful. Matt and I have been watching the new Queer Eye and enjoyed two episodes with dinner. We’re trying so hard to go to sleep earlier, but ended up…
Organic/low sulfite wine – I mentioned in a previous post that I’m having more trouble with wine lately (like a whole day of being hungover after 1-2 glasses), and have tried some organic and no added sulfite wine. It’s making a huge difference! I don’t feel like I’ve been run over by a bus after wine, I just feel thirsty (or tipsy) like a normal person! Organic wines contain less than 10ppm natural sulfites and there are tons of great…
I hope y’all had a nice weekend. And I hope those who have any relationship with motherhood were able to find some peace in yesterday’s holiday. I was talking to my doorman this morning, and he said his country just has a huge holiday to celebrate all women, but nothing for men. It’s funny because I was thinking yesterday felt more like husband’s day because Matt did so many nice things for me:) We had gorgeous weather in Brooklyn last…
Hi y’all, How it’s going out there? We had a tough week (colds, molars, Matt traveling) followed by a fabulous weekend. Friday was our typical pizza and wine night. We switched things up by using pesto as the base instead of red sauce (although we used a thin layer of red sauce too), and I thought the pizza was one of the best we’ve ever made. It also had parmesan and mozzarella, chicken sausage, and a blend of mushrooms sautéed…
Matt has been planning a reunion of his college friends in Texas for almost a year! I’ve gotten to know the wives over the years, and it makes for a really fun group. It was a weird weekend, because of the sad news abroad. I wanted to be present, but my thoughts were with the people of Paris often, and we were glued to the TV on Friday. We rented a house on Lake Travis through TurnKey – they actually…
