My Christmas cards are officially out the door! I credit free recipient addressing from Minted for helping me get them out so much faster than I had anticipated. Never again will I take the time to write out all my addresses {and waste half of my envelopes}. So now that the cards are on their …
When I first met Matt he was strongly opposed to the crockpot. He is paranoid that our house will burn down if one appliance is left plugged in {even if it’s not turned on} when we’re at work. To this day he will triple check to make sure I’ve turned off and unplugged my curling …
During the work week we’ve been eating super simple dinners – breakfast, tacos, takeout, etc. We actually love breakfast for dinner so no one is complaining in my house. However, I really miss cooking more involved dinners so I’ve been saving Sunday’s for my meals that require a bit more prep work. Oh, and we’re …
My mom’s birthday is a few days after mine and each year she gets harder and harder to buy for. I’ve pretty much been using framed pictures of Caroline for every gift for family since she’s been born and I’m sure everyone is thinking “thanks, but please not another picture frame” so I had to …
We spent the weekend in my second favorite city (to Charleston, SC) ever – Asheville! As part of my birthday gift we booked a room at the Grand Bohemian Hotel Asheville. What a huge surprise this hotel was! Every single detail is absolutely stunning from the moment you pull in. via (my outside shots just …
It’s been a big week in the Marcellino house! Caroline started school and Matt went to work at a new office, one with his name on the door – Marcellino & Tyson, PLLC! For my long term readers, you all may remember Matt’s exciting news back in 2011 (post here) when he decided to hang …
I return to work next Monday. The wave of emotions that sweep through my heart are so bittersweet. The subject of staying at home versus returning to work has been deeply discussed countless times throughout my maternity leave and as my first day back to work quickly approaches it seems to occupy my thoughts all …
The past few days I’ve been extra tired due to Caroline’s new favorite hobby of not sleeping the past few nights. That girl is so afraid she’s going to miss out on something if she nods off for a bit. Anyway, I am ready for this new schedule in our Moms on Call program to …
Yesterday was Matt’s 34th birthday! Y’all know I love celebrating birthdays so I had big plans to run across town to pick up his favorite booze, grab some balloons and put on makeup. Anyway, none of that happened. Caroline is still hanging out on vacation time and on top of that we’ve started a new …
Not that most of you care, but I thought I’d document what a typical day with an (almost) 7 week old baby looks like. We follow Moms on Call, so our entire day really revolves around a strict schedule. I didn’t think I’d ever be that mom who is crazy about following a minute by …
Happy Friday! I have to admit, I was scrolling through my phone to see what I would post about today and realized all of my “noteworthy” moments I’ve captured this week revolve around meals I’ve eaten or pictures of my belly…neither of which are particularly interesting to y’all. So I decided to come up with …
Any recipe that calls for an entire bottle of wine is a winner in my book. Last weekend Matt and I grilled the very best burgers ever, and I mean EVER. We found the recipe in one of my Bon Appétit magazines and have had it bookmarked for far too long. Now I’m mad at …
