Happy Friday from the place that makes my heart the happiest. Over the last several weeks I have been talking with my family about how and when we could make a visit happen. With some restrictions easing in Florida and North Carolina moving into phase one, we made the decision as a family that we [...]

Saturday Road Trip + Week of Eats
March 14, 2015 { 8 comments }Sullie and I loaded up around noon today for a road trip down to Georgia to visit my grandmother. Sadly, I left Zoey in very loving care in Charlotte because she’s a little too crazy right now for me to manage by myself in the car for four hours. I was also worried about her [...]

Golden Goodness
February 20, 2012 { 25 comments }Happy President’s Day! I hope that some of you are enjoying a day off. Unfortunately, I am not. I taught 6 a.m. BodyPump (and had quite a few members who came for early class on their day off…so awesome!) and now I have to spend the rest of my day in CPR and First Aid [...]

Happy To Be Here
January 21, 2012 { 17 comments }Hello from Georgia! Sullie and I arrived at my grandmother’s house around 1 p.m. and she has been glued to Mema’s side ever since! Backing up…I made it out of bed around 6:45 this morning and promptly made breakfast and worked on some blog stuff. I have been on such a bagel kick lately. I [...]

A Tuesday Trip
December 28, 2011 { 5 comments }I am happy to hear that I wasn’t the only one in “recovery mode” on Monday. My recovery carried into Tuesday but also involved the reality of a little bit of work too (um…and the reality of some cake…keep reading!). I taught a 7 a.m. class uptown at Charlotte Athletic Club and then had a [...]

The wedding is near the Georgia/Alabama boarder but we’re stopping tonight in Athens to visit friends and enjoy a night on the town.

Destination Unknown
July 28, 2011 { 24 comments }I hope everyone is having a good day! I have the day off and it’s been amazing. Actually, I’m kicking off a four-day weekend. Now that is amazing! :) Clearly, the best way to start a day off is with a 5 a.m. wake up call. Kidding…but it was a necessity. I had to teach [...]

Midnight Train to Georgia
July 1, 2011 { 7 comments }Happy Friday! Well, we didn’t actually take a train but look where we arrived shortly after midnight last night… In Georgia at my grandmother’s house! Can you believe that she had open heart surgery just 10 DAYS ago? Doesn’t she look great!? Her recovery is going really well now that she’s home. She’s able to [...]

A few updates… There will still be daily updates on PBR while I’m gone. I have four guest posters and a couple scheduled from me. I have put a LOT of hours [...]

Brunch and Frappuccinos

Another Weekend, Another Road Trip
May 7, 2011 { 14 comments }Well, our streak of weekend road trips continued last night with a drive to Atlanta. One of Brandon’s college roomates is getting married today! All of our four-hour road trips are for fun activities (beach, visiting family, a wedding and next weekend – VACATION!) so it’s worth the long hours in the car. And is [...]

Operation Storm Survival, Beach, Run and BEAUTIFUL!
August 7, 2010 { 2 comments }Happy weekend from beautiful Wild Dunes Resort in Isle of Palms, South Carolina. I braved extremely hazardous road conditions to get here…and I was by myself. Brandon left earlier in the week for the beach but I had to work so couldn’t leave until after work Friday. My solo road trip started off with a [...]
