January Books

Good morning friends! I am back from a wonderful beach trip with some girlfriends and feeling rested and rejuvenated. Exactly how I was hoping to feel after our weekend away! I wish I had more pictures to share but I was trying my hardest to be present in the moment and not be on my phone. 

We were supposed to go to Vero as a group of 5, but 2 of our friends had things come up with their families and were unfortunately unable to come. One of our friends, Lauren, thought it would be funny to make little picture cut-outs of our 2 friends that couldn't come and pose them in various places around Vero and snap pics to send to them. We were cracking up as we took "the girls" with us wherever we went and snapped pics. 

And I'm Off!

Good morning friends! As you are reading this I will be sitting riiiight about here:

Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Prosciutto

Time for our next weekly healthy recipe! This time, roasted brussel sprouts. We are really lucky that Lily Grace loves brussel sprouts and will actually ask for them for dinner. Since it is a vegetable we know she won't fight us over eating, we try to make it as often as we can! Here is one of my new favorite ways to make them.

Valentine's Day Card Ideas

Good morning friends and happy hump day! This week has been flying by and I am really looking forward to this weekend because I have a GIRLS TRIP TO FLORIDA!! As I'm typing this, the weather is 25 degrees in Charlotte... so needless to say I am very excited for the warmer weather in my near future! 

Today though I want to talk about our annual Valentine's Day cards. Each year Lily Grace makes a homemade Valentine's Day card to send to family and friends (we will do the ones she passes out at school this year too, but those are different). I have been perusing Pinterest and have hit up Michael's to get some good ideas for our cards. Here's a look at some of the ideas I have found on Pinterest so far:

Weekend Highlights

Good morning friend and happy MLK Day! I hope you are all enjoying the extra day off with your family like we are. We have some plans to do a little shopping, a lot of relaxing, and then are finishing the day with swim lessons. 

We had a very busy but very wonderful weekend and I wanted to share the highlights with you today.
