Though I know we technically have a few “real” weeks to go until summer is here, this weekend felt like the kickoff to summer for our family. The boys are out of school, schedules have basically been ripped up and the sunshine that eluded us most of last week finally peeked through. We celebrated the... Read More »

School’s out for SUMMER! Woohoooo! Okay well the big kids technically have to get through today at school but then it’s SUMMATIME. We’re planning to kick off summer with pool time, outside time and family time because, after five straight days of on-and-off rain, this weekend looks sunny! We also have plans with friends to...

Good morning! It’s a wet and dreary morning in Charlotte today and it looks like that will be the theme of the week. There is looots of rain in our forecast but we’re going to do our best to make the most of it as we have a lot of end-of-the-school-year activities on the agenda... Read More »

Friday is here! And my parents are (almost) here, too! My mom and dad hit the road early this morning (we’re a family of early birds) and should be arriving around lunchtime today. We are so, so happy we’ll have Mae and Pop with us for a few days! I’m sure we’ll fill our days... Read More »
Hiii! It’s Wednesday and I’m popping by this morning with a mid-week check-in. How are ya? I hope your week is going well so far and not too jam-packed.

Good morning, friends!! I hope you’re checking in after a good weekend.

Hi, hi, hello!!! Funny story: When we were in Sarasota visiting a bird sanctuary last month, I was talking to a beautiful cockatoo. I said “hi” and it said “hi.” I said “hello” and it said “hello.” Then it started to walk on its branch toward me and I was so excited continued to said... Read More »
It’s that time of year in North Carolina where the weather is all over the place. One day will be 80-degrees with the sun blazing and then the next day we’ll be cozying up in comfy sweatshirts when temperatures drop 30 degrees overnight. With such big temperature swings, outfits are all over the place, too,... Read More »

Yesterday I officially turned 40 years old! It’s impossible to enter a new decade without doing a little self-reflection and one thing that kept popping up in my mind over and over again as I thought about the past 40 years of my life is how freaking lucky I’ve been to have lived a life...

How to make protein pancakes that actually taste good! Ohhh protein. Talk about a buzzword these days. But also, it is really important. Protein is not just a fad but it’s a nutrient that helps support a healthy immune system and repair and maintain our cells. It’s a building block for our muscles and helps... Read More »

We’re kicking off this week on PBF by chatting about one of my very favorite things in the entire world: Books.

I think I lived 10,000 lives before 10 a.m. today. This is one of those feelings I remember feeling so acutely on a daily basis during the toddler years. By the time 10 a.m. rolled around, we’d have already run through 5 different activities, visited a park, had breakfast and at least two snacks and... Read More »
Hey friends. How are you? How is your week going so far? It’s been a bit of a funky week for us as Rhett had off of school for a teacher workday on Monday and my allergies are absolutely raging. I honestly don’t ever remember them being this bad but I cannot stop sneezing. The... Read More »
