A Wonderful Day

January 30, 2013

The cold weather lately has forced Hailey, Koda and me to spend a lot of time inside. There are only so many times you can go up and down the stairs, throw dance parties and build and knock over block towers before we’re all aching for fresh air and sunshine. So when I saw that [...]

The Weekend Report

January 14, 2013

This weekend started off on the right foot, with pizza and The Bourne Legacy, which I highly recommend. I was skeptical without Matt Damon being in it, but it was a solid flick, reminiscent of the other Bourne movies, though it was a bit dragged out at the end. Saturday was so much fun. Hailey [...]

They Paved Paradise

May 30, 2012

…and put up a parking lot. For the past 24 hours I’ve had this song in my head. Call me dramatic, but the line “you don’t know what you got ‘til it’s gone” really resonated with me over the last couple days. So often I unknowingly take my health for granted. However, through the course [...]

Pescatarian Meal Options

March 13, 2012

We are now about 3 weeks into our pescatarian challenge and I’m happy to report things are going pretty well. I’m finally starting to get in a groove of meat-free, even though it hasn’t been without obstacles. I’ve found that I don’t even think about “staying on track” much, until dinner rolls around. More than [...]

My First Time Calling 911

February 20, 2012

My my my, where do I even start? I guess with Saturday morning. Which was gorgeous! Since it was 60 degrees and sunny, we decided on a family trip to Lake Norman State Park. It’s only about a 20 minute drive and offers some beautiful trails for hiking around. Someone thought this trip was the [...]

T.G.F.P.

January 24, 2012

You should be reading this and drooling on your computer in awe of the TWO recipes I managed to create during Hailey’s 45 minute nap yesterday, but… they were a total bust. Yup, both of ‘em. I chopped, diced and photographed my little heart out, only to end up feeling like I wasted time and [...]

How a Warrior Carbo-Loads

August 29, 2011

Another week down with no baby.  C’mon little one- I’m getting so excited about cooler weather and want to share it with you… not to mention I’m getting pumped about fall fashion.  If you haven’t checked out the comment’s on Friday’s fashion post, you definitely should.  I didn’t know there were so many fashionistas out [...]

Local Eats and Weekend Treats

August 22, 2011

The two week (and 1 day) countdown is on until my due date.  Some days I’m feeling very anxious and I’m just ready already.  However, I’m trying to heed people’s advice by enjoying the quiet and spending time with Hubbs, just the two of us.  So Friday night we decided a date night was in [...]

What Makes a Good Grocery Store?

August 8, 2011

Yesterday was an exciting day in the life of a prego.  Without the energy or physical ability to do too much nowadays, my fun comes in different forms… like spending a solid few hours playing in the kitchen, getting laundry done and checking out a new grocery store in town. How many people did I [...]

Happy 4th of July from LKN

July 4, 2011

I hope everyone has had a fabulous 4th of July weekend!  Although mine started off with a little scare on Friday… everything turned out ok! We spent 3 hours in the hospital Friday afternoon because I thought my water was leaking.  Good news= it wasn’t! But I was having mini-contractions.  After monitoring them for a [...]
