Last week I celebrated my 27th birthday. It was a beautiful day and we took full advantage, walking up and down our small town streets, building and recounting memories from our years here. Since my 60 before 30 list ends on my birthday in a few years, I thought it would be fun to do…

As I write this, there are about 10 inches of snow outside with more falling. This is the first time in my memory that North Carolina has had more than a dusting in December, and while it feels odd, after seven days of being on the road, it is a great reminder to slow down….

summer memories
As summer comes to a close and we prepare for a new season with new plans and activities, I have been thinking back on this summer, filled with it’s own fun memories. I shared some of my summer travel with you (Napa 1 & 2, Denver, Chicago), but there have been many wonderful in-between moments…

Saturday, Saturday, how I love Saturday. It has been a long week, and we won’t be relaxing much this weekend, but I’m still doing my best to soak in the little bits of rest that I can. I have a fun soup potluck and pumpkin carving night planned for tonight with some friends from college, which should be the…
love to texas and our (almost) flood story
via The stories I keep reading and watching from south Texas are heartbreaking. They aren’t the first stories we have seen about devastating hurricane damage, and, unfortunately, they likely won’t be the last, but stories about hurricane flooding and tragedy always tug at my heart. As a North Carolinian, I have lived through many hurricanes….
