Quick housekeeping note: You’ll mostly be hearing from me on the days I’m not working my full-time job. It’s just another way that I’m finding balance in my life and I hope you understand!
This morning I woke up nice and early to help Evan get ready for work (made us both CCB Shakes with kale [...]
We woke up bright and early this morning to kittens that had surely been awake for 2 hours already. Luckily, they decided to let us sleep in this morning, rather than meowing incessantly at 4:45 AM like they did on Sunday. I’m not complaining though. Every meow is just a reminder of how quickly they [...]
Life has gone into overdrive. I’m loving it, but seriously…I’ve done so much in the last week! Let’s rewind, shall we?
First I must mention that I met Gina last week for yoga twice, and I love her just as much in person as I do on her blog! I didn’t get a chance to blog [...]

Harvey Update:
I got a call just before 6 PM tonight from the vet’s office. All of Harvey’s blood work came back normal, which is good but frustrating, because there’s still something obviously wrong with him. I’m hoping we can figure something out tomorrow. I might be sleeping on the couch with him tonight just to [...]
I can’t believe how busy things have been! After a long weekend in Sarasota with mine and Evan’s family, a 2 hour drive home with a pit stop at Whole Foods for groceries and dinner, we got home around 9 PM last night, I did my homework that was due by midnight and then slept [...]
I’m spending some time with my family this weekend, so I’ll let my photos speak for themselves!
Questions? I’d love to answer them in the comments section!
Have a great weekend
I disappeared after my kitchen tour! Haha, whoops!
I’m going out of town with Evan and Harvey this weekend and things are crazy around here as I try to prepare food and stuff to bring. I’ve also been squeezing in doctors appointments, work, time with Evan, an afternoon with Ashley and more! I’m actually about to [...]
First I need to thank everyone who commented on the 5th installment of Ask Me Anything yesterday. We talked about how much groceries cost, and I found out that Evan and I are definitely not alone in large grocery bills. The major consensus was that it’s worth it! It is the only body you’ll ever [...]
Comes right before Monday, Monday.
Yesterday I naturally woke up at 8 AM which is ridiculous and awesome for the weekend. Ridiculous because I sometimes have a hard time waking up at that time during the week. Awesome because I can experience a FULL weekend day without waking up to my alarm clock.
I promptly plopped on [...]
