This picture is of a bird’s nest Will and I found while on a walk in the beautiful weather this past Sunday. RIP 60 degree Sunday, welcome 25 degree Sunday. At least we aren’t in Boston. Here’s a look into what I’ve been reading this week: These heart-shaped tea bags are the cutest, and just in…
snow memories
A year ago this week, a winter storm hit the South. North Carolina has a tendency to shut down at the mere mention of a flurry in the forecast, but this was a real snow-and-ice, gridlock inducing storm that was particularly bad for two reasons: the ferocious speed at which it came and the melting and…
sunday sweets: brownies
I got a valentine in the mail from my grandmother yesterday complete with chocolate and a poem. The poem was: Roses are red, chocolate is edible, I hope your Heart’s Day is really incredible. : ) In honor of the upcoming holiday, here is a nice bit of chocolatey goodness for your valentine. These brownies…
link love
Who doesn’t love a good pink and red sprinkled heart-shaped doughnut? In the battle of cute foods, it wins. Here are some corners of the internet I have loved this week: An “immersive” art exhibit opened in London. It was a ball pit for adults. You know, like the ones you played in while your…
be my valentine?
Spoiler alert: I love making valentines. Homemade valentines are the best. In elementary school, when everyone brought folded rectangular cartoon, princess and superhero valentines for each classmate, I always thought it was so fun to decorate my “mailbox.” Sometimes it was too much work to make homemade valentines for 20 other kids, but decorating the mailbox…
super bowl sunday
Last night Will and I got together with some friends to enjoy a potluck and watch the Super Bowl (or the commercials, depending the person). We ate a delicious assortment of food, chatted with everyone, exclaimed over commercials and the game and watched Katy Perry before the disappointing Patriot victory. I have any particular affinity toward…
link love
Some links I’ve been loving lately: This is such a relevant post in this 21st century world of constant communication and social media. When should we actually watch what is going on versus looking at it through a lens? Yes yes yes to this article about Everything for Everyone and doing away with gender in…
mountain weekend
This past weekend Will and I went on a trip to the mountains. We stayed with family on Saturday and enjoyed the wonderful company, views, food and weather while we were there. Sunday morning we woke up to a few inches of snow and took it as a sign to take a slow morning. After a…
we’re in a magazine!
Yes, that’s right! We are so excited to have our wedding featured in The Knot North Carolina! We both had the best time with all of our friends and family, a crazy dance floor and many beautiful pictures to show it. I plan to write a separate post just on our wedding day but for now, I…
2014 in review
2014 was a busy year for us. There were graduations, marriages, and births in our families. A change in scenery and schools for Will and a new job for me. We are so thankful for our family and friends who surrounded and supported us throughout this year of change. Here are a few of the…
