Y’all! Matt won Business North Carolina’s 2018 Legal Elite Young Guns award. I can’t describe how impressive this is. I’ve worked for big law and now a mid-size firm and getting our attorneys recognized in this publication is a really huge deal. For most of you who aren’t familiar with this award, each year BNC honors lawyers …
This post is sponsored by my friends at Minted. All opinions are my own.Our latest home project has been our dining room! Over the past few months we’ve very slowly been tackling this room and although we still have a ways to go before it’s finished I am loving the progress so far. I know …
If you’re not doing Whole30, you may want to skip this post (even though these recipes are amazing even if you’re not doing Whole30). I literally scour the internet for HOURS to meal plan each week on this diet and have found posts like this extremely helpful. So today I’m sharing the meals we ate …
We rang in the new year with three of our best friend couples! The night was perfect and I couldn’t have imagined kicking off 2018 any other way. As soon as we got the kids down for bed (and blasted their powerful sound machines), we got the party started. Thomas slept soundly through the festivities …
I love to bake on Sunday afternoons. And sometimes I’ll let Caroline skip her nap to help me whip up some treats. Today we made Smores Chocolate Chip Cookies. And then we ate them all…while Thomas napped. Straight out of the oven these mini treats are sooooo warm and ooooeyy gooooey. It’s hard to stop …
Our halls are decked for our first Christmas in our new home! Let’s start with my favorite part of our house — our staircase garland! As I mentioned on Instagram, this project was truly a labor of love that was worth every hour (about 13 total), 3 trips to Trader Joes, 2 craft store runs and …
If we were having a cup of coffee I would want to chat about… How to get exactly what you want for Christmas (or your birthday, or Mother’s Day, or Valentine’s day, or any time!). I was recently listening to a podcast on this topic and loved it so much that I had to share it …
I love our neighborhood SO much. SO much in fact, that I agreed to serve on our HOA board as the social committee co-chair and host the last stop of our neighborhood Christmas progressive dinner party on Sunday night. Trust me, that’s a lot of love… We spent the entire weekend festivizing (I just made …
Last night I whipped up some Asian Chicken Noodle Soup. Before we get into the details I have to mention that if you don’t often cook Asian dishes this one may be a bit of an “investment” for your first batch. I didn’t own many of these ingredients and was a little sticker shocked as …
Today we celebrate SIX years of marriage! I’ll save you the sappy post (you can always refer back to last year’s anniversary post if you came for sap)! Anyway, I can’t think of a more fun way to celebrate on the blog than to recycle one million wedding pictures for ya… Happiest anniversary, Matt. Thanks …
We recently scratched off a few more to-do items on our exterior house project list! Over the past 6 months we’ve actually tackled quite a few projects outside of our home, so today I thought it would be fun to share some exterior updates… A handful of our exterior projects were done right after we closed on …
Happy Friday! one. Did anyone else take advantage of the huge Bath & Body Works sale this week? It was buy two candles, get two candles free plus $10 off $30 purchase. My new favorite scent is WINTER. It legitimately smells like winter and is so amazing I had to buy two! two. Caroline and …
