Happy Monday! I hope this weekend was a good one! We enjoyed our day trip to Savannah, GA. I’ve been to Savannah a few times before and have especially enjoyed it the past couple of times. It is such a lovely city with lots of historical sites and very welcome to visitors. Only two hours…

Monday 5: Food & like one other thing I’m excited about this week
Another rainy Monday here in Charleston. Although to be fair (will TBF ever be a thing?!) we got our share of sun Saturday and Sunday morning. But it has rained a lot this summer…the plants are excited about it. This weekend I spent some time with my family; we went to the movies, went to…

Monday 5: Salsa dancing & other things I’m excited about this week
Happy Monday! It’s another rainy one here in Charleston…definitely going to need some extra enthusiasm to make it through the day. This weekend we had some good times meeting up with friends, beach bumming and spending time with my family. We made it to brunch at a spot called Butcher and Bee downtown Charleston which…

11 things I would tell my younger self
I still know most of the words from Taylor Swift’s ‘Fifteen’ by heart; seven years after I turned 15 and listened to it on the bus heading to school my sophomore year. There’s something really powerful about looking back on life and being able to share a thing or two that you’ve learned with people…

Monday 5: Baseball & other things I’m excited about this week
This weekend was another fun one in Charleston. It was nice to be back home since last weekend I was out of town visiting family. On Friday we met up with some of Nicholas’ residency friends at a spot called Cooper River Brewery. It had a laid back environment with cement floors inside and some…

Three reasons the risk is worth it

What we’ve learned so far
To say it’s been a learning experience would probably be an understatement. Relationships have a way of challenging us in ways we never would have expected. Suddenly all the insecurities we have, hurts we’ve held on to, perspectives that have gone unchallenged…they all rise to the surface in a somewhat unpleasant and overwhelming manner. That…

Monday 5: Togetherness & other things I’m excited about this week
Baby breath flowers I bought these for the first time yesterday and was blown away at how much I loved how they looked. They remind me of flowers you would pick on a field and add such a simple elegance to any room. Fresh flowers are one of those simple pleasures that can make a…

Why ‘I do’ is bigger than you
Did you ever wonder what happened to Cinderella’s stepsisters after she married the prince and left to live happily ever after in the castle? Yeah me either. Love stories tend to focus only on the people inside them. Which makes sense…it’s a love story, not The Proud Family. However, to say that relationships don’t affect…
