Rustic Escort Cards
Thursday, June 28th, 2012 at
9:00 am
For our country chic wedding, I thought it’d be adorable to incorporate mason jars into our rustic escort cards. Although I could have purchased our escort cards, I knew my sister and I would be able to crank them out and come up with some great ideas. Little did we know that our ideas would…

Last night my sister and I stayed up WAY to late working on wedding music and watching You Tube videos. I figured y’all needed some good laughs and chills, so here are a few of my favorite videos from last night. But lets back track a little to yesterday afternoon. After work, Alison and I…

Woo Wee! What a week! Looking back on the past 7 days, it’s unbelievable how much has gone on. It all started Monday with a surprise bridal shower at work and a trip to BWI to pick up my beautiful sister! My boss made us beautiful strawberry and blueberry shortcakes (which Neal thoroughly enjoyed Monday…
Scaleless Summer 2012

The summer is officially here and boy did she bring some heat with her! Today is suppose to be a scoreture but I am really excited that it is now officially summer. Growing up I hated the summer. The summer meant hot weather, sweating profusely, and wearing less clothes, aka revealing more of my body…
The Balance Between Pain and Pleasure

A few weeks ago while at the doctor’s office, I had a wonderful conversation with my doctor about the balance between pain and pleasure. (source) In everything we do, my doctor shared, we are in a constant battle to find the balance between pain and pleasure. The balance is different for every person, which is…

Today is a bittersweet day for me. On one hand my sister arrives from Texas tonight… on the other hand my best friend is having major lung surgery today. It is a bittersweet day for me today. My prayers and my heart are with Stephanie today and I hope that the surgery goes very…
Stewed Okra

10:00 am
At the farmers market yesterday I picked up a bundle of okra, just knowing I could find something to do with them this week. When I lived in Texas I used to eat pickled okra all the time, but my other favorite dish was stewed okra. Stewed okra can be done a number of ways,…
A Dream Saturday

9:00 pm
Today was an absolutely fabulous day… a dream Saturday if you ask me! It all started with a glass of this yummy goodness. Fitmixer Amino was the perfect pre-workout/post-workout drink, especially as I tackled this crazy workout. By the end, I was pooped but it was great to finish out with a plank. After my…

I have a feeling this post is going to be all over the place, but that’s kinda how the past 24 hours have been. Today was a day of highs, lows, and everything in-between. HIGH — It’s great to be back in Washington, DC after being in Indianapolis since Monday. The conference was fantastic and…
Olympic Motivation

12:05 am
I’ll never forget the 1996 Olympics. I was 12 years old, fascinated with sports, excited about the Olympics being in Atlanta, and just about obsessed with gymnastics. This still gives me chills… I even got the 1996 Olympics VHS tape for Christmas that year… oh yeah, like I said I was kinda obsessed. The Olympics…
Garlic Swiss Chard

Last weekend at the Rockville Farmers Market I snatched up a bundle of swiss chard. I see swiss chard and rainbow chard on the Food Network’s show Chopped all the time (I’m obsessed with that show), but I’ve never actually cooked with it before. Going to the farmers market always gets me pumped up and…
Traveling to Indiana

Yesterday I headed to Indianapolis, Indiana for a 3 day conference. I packed my Vera Bradley bags, all 6 of them, and headed on into work. When I travel I realize just how many Vera Bradley bags I have (duffel bags, cosmetic bags, electronic cases, etc.). LOVE! Around 4PM I was getting hungry, so I…
