Scott and I had a long-awaited trip to Savannah BY OURSELVES this past weekend. We don’t get date nights very often, and get away by ourselves even less often, so when we have the opportunity to get away, we take it! Scott had a work event on Saturday, so after my mom arrived Thursday night to watch the kids, and we dropped Brantley off at school Friday morning, we hit the road! Scott took phone calls and worked the whole[Read more]
Happy Monday, friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend, and were able to enjoy some time outside in the beautiful spring weather like we did! Scott and I had a great time in Savannah, and I can’t wait to share more about our trip tomorrow. But today, I’m sharing our meals for the week! Here’s what I have planned: Grilled Pork Chops, Paula Deen’s Corn and Frito Salad, and Steamed Broccoli We actually ended up eating this for dinner last night[Read more]
TGIF, friends! This week has drug by for me, mainly because, mine and Scott’s long-awaited adults only weekend away is finally here! Scott and I have our bags packed, and we’re headed to Savannah, in the car by ourselves without We-Sing playing in the CD player or a Disney movie in the DVD player! I have a bag of magazines to look through, and nobody to steal my candy. We are so excited!!! A short getaway is long overdue for[Read more]
There is an epidemic that is spreading across the country in record numbers, and you probably haven’t heard anything about it. It’s not ebola, it’s not the measles, but it’s a chronic illness that affects the lives of millions of Americans annually. It’s Lyme Disease. Lyme Disease is a tick-borne disease that if untreated, can severely affect a person’s neurological system, and just about every other aspect of their mental, physical, and psychological health and well-being. It is one[Read more]
I have two outfits to share today for WIWW! We spent a lot of time in comfies and jammies during the bad weather we had last week, so nothing else was really share-worthy, ha! But here are two that were somewhat presentable… I wore this out last Friday when I was running a few errands, and I felt very pulled together (something that whether or not I look it, I don’t feel very often!). My trusty plaid flannel blanket scarf[Read more]
Hello Friends! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Here’s what we’ve got on the menu for our dinners this week: Chicken and Black Bean Tostadas I love Mexican food, and this weight watchers recipe sounds so good, while not being so heavy! Plus, I think the kids will like them since they’re like little pizzas! Sloppy Joes and French Fries I need a few easy recipes this week since it’s going to be a busy one, so I’m gonna throw[Read more]
TGIF! I really can’t complain too much about this week; it wasn’t particularly busy, but isn’t it just a relief to know the weekend is right around the corner anyway? Today I thought I’d share some more of my favorites as of late, in keeping with my Friday Favorites theme! Favorite Frozen Yogurt and Toppings: Yoforia Pomegranate and Pineapple Yogurts with mango, kiwi, blueberries and strawberries During Bennett’s #onlychildweekend last weekend while the girls were having fun in Aiken, we[Read more]
I want to be better about keeping up with my WIWW posts, because it keeps me accountable and inspires me to make intentional choices when it comes to my closet (and helps me weed things out for donating/consigning!). I also want to consistently post WIWWs because I get such great responses and encouragement from these posts! So, thank you! I’ll try my very best to do better! I only have one outfit to share today (better than nothing, right?): Can’t[Read more]
Hello Friends! Due to my exciting news yesterday, I decided to postpone my weekly meal plan schedule until today. So without further ado, here’s what we’ll be eating this week! Bacon and Bean Soup and Dinner Rolls We were actually going to have this for dinner on Friday night, but sadly, I burnt the shit out of it on the stove. Ooops. #keepingtreal I had it simmering (aka boiling like hell), thinking all was fine (I have had a cold,[Read more]
