  • New and Exciting

    { 7 comments }

    And I’m back…I’m sorry that I didn’t post yesterday but once you hear about the day I had you will understand why it didn’t happen. First things first – exciting news! I know I told you that I’ve been living the housewife life the last few days. Well, it’s because my last day at my [...]

  • AthFest Day 2, Your Pie and Monday Recap

    { 4 comments }

    I feel so behind! I have so much to catch you guys up on. I planned on posting the rest of our Athens weekend recap last night but our plans changed and we ended up not getting home until after 11 p.m. I had a 5 a.m. wake up call to teach BodyPump this morning [...]

  • A Needed Break

    { 3 comments }

    Today was my Friday and I have no work responsibilities until next Thursday. I am really excited about this break. It is so needed. I’m finally going to tackle some unfun tasks like figuring out how to file for our first time home buyer’s credit, finally getting a NC license plate (I still have Alabama [...]

  • Caving to the Craving

    { 6 comments }

    I tried so hard to resist it. Ignored the media, ignored all of my friends comments on Facebook and Twitter, even ignored my own husband’s rave review. Today, there was no stopping this craving. Oh yes. That would be the new Chick-Fil-A Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Let’s look at it and all its deliciousness a little [...]

  • Birthday Recap and Giveaway Winner

    { 3 comments }

    My birthday was pretty low-key but I felt very loved! Between my friends, family, Facebook, Twitter and the blog I think I got a “happy birthday” every 5 minutes. Nice! There was a common theme to my day yesterday – carbs. At first I felt guilty but then I decided it was my birthday and [...]

  • Sushi and Cupcakes

    { 2 comments }

    Happy Friday! We are staying in town again this weekend (yay!). The weekend feels so much longer when we do! Yesterday for lunch I had no appetite. Let me repeat that – I had no appetite. Weird. Unlike me. You know I’m a three meals a day kind of girl and I am always ready [...]

  • Catching Up and Fun News

    { 3 comments }

    I have some fun happenings and yummy food to share with you from the past couple days since yesterday’s post was a nostalgic review of the last year. Thanks for reading and for your nice comments! I honestly can’t wait to see what the next year holds for us. Life truly is a journey! So [...]

  • Unsafe Blogging

    { 0 comments }

    We have a bit of an unsafe situation on our patio… This is what you get when you have me blogging, Brandon on his computer, our Christmas light umbrella and iPod dock all plugged into the same extension cord. Let’s hope things stay safe over here. So far, so good! One of my favorite things [...]

  • Opa!

    { 1 comment }

    I am stuffed from a Greek feast! I LOVE Greek food but more about that in a minute. Let’s backtrack and cover the rest of the day. I was up early this morning for a hot class with Suzanne at Charlotte Yoga. Before heading to class I had a piece of whole wheat toast with [...]

  • Hilton Head Island Weekend in Review

    { 3 comments }

    It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me. Brandon and I had a miscommunication about who was packing my laptop for our long weekend in Hilton Head. We were about half way there when I realized that he didn’t bring it. I had a minor freak out but then just decided to enjoy my [...]

  • Down Dog Tired

    { 0 comments }

    A little over 24 hours later – including 4.5 hours of yoga – and I’m back. I survived yoga bootcamp and even went back for more today. Yoga bootcamp was an awesome experience – as expected. There were 13 of us in the class. Celeste and Tanner lined us up in one long line and [...]

  • Sleep is Good

    { 0 comments }

    After NINE solid hours of sleep last night I feel like a completely new person. I had reached the point of exhaustion and a good night’s sleep was exactly what I needed. My energy levels were much higher today and the on and off headache I’ve had for the last five days finally went away. [...]

  • Back in Action

    { 3 comments }

    And I’m back! I promise that last weekend was the end of the intermittent blogging and I’m now returning to regular posting. As you all know (because I told you in every single post last week), the past two weeks have been insane with house closing, moving, traveling, unpacking and preparing for weekend guests. We [...]

  • Worth the Work

    { 3 comments }

    So maybe it wasn’t the best idea to launch a new blog in the middle of closing on a house and moving. I’m sorry that I haven’t been able to get daily updates in but I feel like I’ve been working nonstop on the house. I’ve set my alarm early every day this week to [...]

  • Lowcountry Living

    { 1 comment }

    I spent this weekend in Charleston, South Carolina for my friend Michelle’s bachelorette party. Brandon and I lived in Charleston for a year after college and were married there so it holds a very special place in my heart. We had a fun girl’s weekend. I wanted to update the blog yesterday but the wireless [...]

  • Crazy for Kombucha

    { 5 comments }

    This morning started out like most Friday mornings – with a hot vinyasa yoga class at Y2. I rarely miss this Friday morning class. I think it’s the perfect way to kick off my weekend! While I was getting ready for work I put a pot of oats on for breakfast. Today’s mix featured 1/3 [...]

  • Weekend Splurges

    { 7 comments }

    I love Sunday mornings. The windows are open, the sun is shining and I’m catching up on the blog world while drinking coffee. I woke up around 8:30 this morning and immediately put on my running shoes. Sullie and I knocked out an easy 3.5 miles and came home to coffee and oats. This mornings [...]

  • Sauces, Strawberries and Squats

    { 4 comments }

    A quick wrap up of my week to kick off the Peanut Butter Runner blogging! I normally only teach BodyPump twice a week and some Saturdays but the past couple weeks I’ve been subbing a ton! All of this teaching also happened to coincide with the release of BodyPump 73 (new releases quarterly) and the [...]
