I typically don’t post anything related to my political or religious views on here but after Pat McCrory signed the House Bill 2, the Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act into place to invalidate Charlotte’s new legal protections for LGBT individuals I was tempted. I held off though until I continued to see articles and… Continue reading The “Bathroom” Bill

Insecurities
We all have flaws. We all have insecurities and demons that present themselves in our lives and while some peoples may be louder than others, we all have them. Everyone has something they don’t necessarily love about themselves, maybe something they try to hide or cover up. Maybe it’s something that is completely unfounded, no… Continue reading Insecurities
Futo Buta
I have a confession to make. I have never actually been to a restaurant dedicated to ramen. Well that is, until this past Friday. It’s shocking I know, especially with my complete obsession with noodles. But really besides those Maruchan ramen noodles that I lived off of in college I have only had real restaurant… Continue reading Futo Buta
St. Paddy’s Day Cocktail
Since St. Patrick’s Day is truly a drinking holiday I decided my pistachio cupcakes just might not be enough to celebrate with. I chose to pull my husband in on this one and asked him to help me mix up something yummy and most importantly green! His inspiration for this cocktail came from a drink… Continue reading St. Paddy’s Day Cocktail
Pistachio Cupcakes
Pistachios are healthy so these cupcakes must be healthy too, right? Yup… that’s exactly what you tell yourself when you’ve devoured 3 in less than 5 minutes. Whoops, oh well! I am a strong believer in the fact that holiday calories don’t count and I’m not exclusive either so St. Patrick’s Day definitely fits right… Continue reading Pistachio Cupcakes
That time I fed my husband Zoodles…
My husband isn’t really a fan of pasta or vegetables but for some reason last night I thought it would be a good idea to make him Zoodles for dinner. Clearly I wasn’t thinking straight. I used this recipe from inspiralized.com. The dish basically included everything I love, (goat cheese, basil, veggies) and everything my husband… Continue reading That time I fed my husband Zoodles…
Coffee Break
I’ve never been one of those people who just can’t function without coffee. Lately though I have become slightly addicted. Not to the robust flavors or jolt of energy the caffeine delivers, but actually to the warmth the drink provides. My desk is seated right next to a window so I spend most of the… Continue reading Coffee Break
Breakfast Smoothie
My favorite weekday breakfast is by far a smoothie. Okay – now that’s just a lie. I also do really enjoy the occasional Dunkin Donuts. ha. But really, when I’m making my breakfast at home a smoothie is my go-to. Now I have to admit I’m a little weird. I have been eating my smoothie… Continue reading Breakfast Smoothie
Chandelier
The original plan was to save upgrading our light fixtures until the very last project but clearly I just couldn’t wait. Before we installed our pallet wall I really didn’t mind living with the dining light as is (I honestly barely noticed it) but immediately after finishing the wall I realized it HAD TO GO.… Continue reading Chandelier
Panther Pride
Football is officially over! To be frank this last season has seriously been INCREDIBLE. It’s really hard to describe the amount of energy and community the Panthers brought to Charlotte this year. I have never quite experienced such comradely within a NFL team or State. Who knew the “dab” could take over the country? We… Continue reading Panther Pride
