Exploring Mystic, Connecticut

Hello, friends! I’m back to share the rest of my weekend adventures up north with friends Tina, Ashley, and Theodora! Our first order of business Sunday was breakfast! As part of our media passes for the weekend, we were offered a complimentary breakfast both days at the Seasons Buffet  inside Mohegan Sun. It was actually an AWESOME Continue Reading …

Sushi Rock Arlington

Guess what? I missed my perch (standing up desk) from NC so much that I created one at my parents house! I think the box is a lovely addition to my parent’s sun porch, don’t you? ;) (Yeah… definitely moving this when I’m done using it before my parents see, ha!) It’s nice to be standing up to get work done again! I started my day Continue Reading …

Pancakes, Le Pain Quotidien (Again), & Finding THE Dress!

Good morning! In honor of my brother’s last day at home yesterday (he flew out yesterday afternoon), my mom made us pancakes! My brother is a die-hard Bisquick pancakes kind of guy, but I decided to make my own using Bob’s Red Mill mix. Bisquick is trans-fat-tastic — boo — and I think healthy pancakes taste just as good. :) My mom Continue Reading …

Home again, Home again

Good morning from DC! It’s nice to be home. :) If you’re just tuning in — I just finished up my 3rd semester of grad school on Tuesday and am now on winter break in the DC area for the next couple weeks. Hooray!   My parent’s house is all nice and decorated for the holidays and I’m currently enjoying a bowl of cereal on our Continue Reading …

Winter Breakfasts Return

Good morning! I’ve officially made the switch back to winter breakfasts. Have you guys yet? I love my cereal with fresh fruit and milk, but once it gets so chilly in the morning… a hot bowl of oatmeal is about a million times more appealing. My absolute favorite oatmeal combination is my Perfect Microwave Banana Oatmeal (click for recipe) Continue Reading …

Old Rag Mountain Hike – The Encore!

Hello and happy Monday! This weekend went by way too quickly — don’t they always? Matt and I had a wonderful time in Virginia yesterday spending the day hiking our very favorite spot: Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park!  We think this was our 5th time hiking this mountain — love it! It’s been touted as one of the best Continue Reading …

Humidity Returns

Good morning! Man, is it humid outside this morning here in NC! I feel like I’m back in Florida or something. It’s been gray and humid all week and I just want to wear cute jeans and boots and have crisp fall weather, dangit! The good news: the weekend is supposed to be gorgeous. :) I met my friends Elle and Lauren for a run this morning Continue Reading …

Back to the Grind

Hello friends! I can hardly believe that yesterday was the first day of fall semester here at UNC and the start of my second year of grad school! Before class, I began my day with an early morning swim with my friend Lindsey. 45 minute swim — check! I decided to dedicate breakfast to the cooler fall-esque weather we were having and busted Continue Reading …
