I hope everybody (who celebrates) has had a beautiful Easter surrounded by family, friends, and good food. Our Easter was lovely. We went to mass at St. Joseph Chapel at Spring Hill College and had an early dinner at my parents later in the afternoon. Now we’re just relaxing in front of the TV. Before…
Herbed Goat Cheese, Mozzarella, & Tomato Grilled Cheese
I’m generally a big fan of April. Flowers are in bloom, the weather is still cool and spring-like, it’s Mark’s and my anniversary (#6 this year!), and it’s usually the kickoff of fun outdoor events that carry on into the summer. But this year, I’m especially fond of April because I’ve learned it’s also National…

Hello, there. I hope everybody is having a fabulous, relaxing Sunday. We’ve had a great weekend; my in-laws arrived Friday night and left this afternoon after a delicious lunch at Ed’s Seafood Shed. Saturday morning I ran the 8K By The Bay, my first-ever 8K. The fog lifted just before the race started at 8:00, and while…

Hi, there! I can’t believe it’s already Sunday; this weekend was a lot of fun, but it was also pretty exhausting. Friday night we went to the school for an alumni happy hour for my husband’s fraternity, and Saturday morning, plenty early but not so bright, I ran the Run of the Hill 5K on…
Taking a Break from Bikram…
I didn’t want to do it, but after learning of my pregnancy, I thought it best to take an indefinite break from my beloved Bikram yoga. My last practice was February 9th, the day before my 30th birthday, since I purposely wanted to end my twenties with quality time in the hot room. Looking back,…
A Review of Walker’s Drive-In
I can’t count the number of times I’ve promised this restaurant review, but despite the month-long wait, I’m here to deliver! Earlier last month, Mark and I joined his parents for dinner at Walker’s Drive-In in Jackson, Mississippi to celebrate my father-in-law’s birthday. Mark and I have dined at Walker’s twice before, and each meal…
Thinking Out Loud 03.27.14
Hello, there! Today I’m popping in for a quick “hello” via the lovely Spoons’ Thinking Out Loud link-up. 1. Can spring just stay around for a while? One week it’s gloriously warm and sunny, the next, it’s snowing a few hours north. I live in Alabama, and when I have to scrape ice off my…
What I Ate Wednesday 03.26.14
Happy Hump Day, guys and dolls! To avoid full-blown pregnancy overload, I’m not going to talk cravings and aversions because, so far, I haven’t really been eating that differently. (Plus, I wouldn’t want to scare you away if the idea of children terrifies the hell out of you and sends you screaming into another room!)…
What I Ate Wednesday 03.19.14
Happy Wednesday—and last day of winter (as per the calendar, anyway)—you guys! 🙂 This week has been going quite well, but of course I’m excited for the official arrival of spring and the upcoming weekend. Work’s been steady so far this week: not too overwhelming or busy, but not slow either. I’ve been enjoying my…
St. Patrick’s Day 2014 + Cheater’s Shepherd’s Pie
Hi friends! I hope everybody is wearing their green and sipping a frosty, festive-colored beer for me! 🙂 Even though I have just a small bit of Irish ancestry, I love any excuse to dress up, eat delicious food, and party with good friends. Though today I was back at work, this past weekend was…
