Weekend recap (safe & sound)

I’m thrilled to report that this past weekend was accident-free. Well, there were a few accidents of the leaky diaper variety, but I’ll take those any day over the other kind! On Saturday afternoon, MT and I (and the baby too) attempted to go to the farmers market in Matthews, North Carolina, but once we got there, we saw that it was closed. As luck would have it, Beach Fest was going on there that day, so we took a stroll through all of the activities. MT wanted me to face my fear of clowns and have my picture taken with...

Weekend recap (in mostly pictures)

Happy Monday! I’m going to let my pictures from the weekend speak for themselves today, so I’ll try to keep the chattiness to a minimum. I’m not making any promises though. Lunch at Newk’s Cafe on Saturday Dinner on the patio at Elwood’s that evening. Music on the Green after dinner and lots of people watching Sunday morning stroll with the baby Breakfast for lunch at Skillets followed by a Sunday afternoon drive The weekend was definitely low key compared to the previous...

Part two: Weekend recap (anniversary celebration)

(You can read part one of my weekend recap here if you missed it.) Well, last Monday was my birthday, and this Wednesday is my third wedding anniversary. I certainly have a lot to celebrate these days. Even though I’m going to cook up a big dinner at home on our actual anniversary, MT and I went to Sullivan’s Steakhouse (one of our favorite restaurants in Charlotte) for dinner on Saturday night. We ordered shrimp cocktail, salads, and some wine before our main entrees arrived. The restaurant is known for their steak, but...

Part one: Weekend recap (birthday celebration)

For some reason, I keep thinking that MT should be off from work today because it’s my birthday. I guess his office doesn’t observe April Fool’s Day or my birthday. The nerve. Anyway, this past weekend was a blast, and I took so many pictures that I’m going to split my recap into two parts. The weather was incredibly beautiful on Saturday, so Michael and I took a nice stroll around Blakeney. Because I have an obsession with stripes, the shirts in Old Navy’s storefront window pulled me in like some...

Things I didn’t share Friday (3/29)

1. On Wednesday, I had lunch with a friend/former co-worker at Newk’s Cafe. I ordered the half salad and half veggie sandwich combo. I really enjoyed the sandwich- until I got into the car and realized that I had pieces of roasted vegetables all in between my teeth. 2. Lucy (whose fur is still a very long way off from growing back in) is terrified of my Roomba and retaliates when I turn it on by pooping in the house. I just know that the Roomba is going to run through the poop one of these days and spread it all over my...

Weekend recap (in mostly pictures)

Happy Monday! I’m going to let the pictures do most of the talking for the weekend recap today, but as you all know, I’m incapable of completely going wordless. Anyway, here’s what went on this past weekend… Took a family drive on Saturday through some old country towns Ended up in York. SC on our way home and had lunch at Jasmine Cafe & Gifts Loved the restaurant’s unique little touches (such as these cute table markers) Ordered a grilled chicken salad with a really flavorful...
