Still in my baking era

I haven’t given up on baking, yall - I promise. These were my first go at scones ever and they turned out quite lovely. I think I’ll try a lemon poppyseed scone next. Growing up, I always went for blueberry scones, tho. What’s your favorite scone?!

I don’t do this often

This isn’t my normal content but I couldn’t NOT share my little experience at @artemuseum_lasvegas — it was so magical. It is always nice to do something that honors the little kid in me.

How was Vegas, you ask?

I primarily went for a professional develop conference that was AMAZING. I’ll share more on that a bit later, but let’s just say that there’s validity to needing a break from inhabiting white spaces constantly.

I was going to stay an extra day to “have fun.” I quickly realized I want to “have fun” at home 🤭.

As I get older, I become less and less inclined to travel solo. I recognize that Vegas is not a solo traveler city, so I’m not completely throwing away solo traveling, but for now, I’m headed home early lol.

I hope you enjoyed the video ✨ the sound was just too dope not to use.

Lovely pinks for a perfect spring tablescape

I love a good #throwbackthursdayyy that works for multiple occasions. It’s no secret that @gracerosefarm is my favorite place to shop all things roses, and her roses added the perfect touch to this gorgeous & romantic table. Hosting season is upon us!

Do you have a set of china or a favorite rose? Tell me below ⬇️!

Helping Spring Fight Back Spring never has hands

Helping Spring Fight Back

Spring never has hands against winter, so my good sis needs a little help! And by “help” I mean a good lemonade recipe to usher in some consistent warm weather here in the south.

Strawberry Lemonade

- 1 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups fresh strawberry juice
- 5 cups filtered water
- 1/3 cup sweetener (or much less, my fave is Equal)
- 1/3 cup fresh mandarin juice (not in video but trust me)

Makes about 8 servings of lemonade!

I haven’t done what I said

I haven’t posted a version of this video every month since January, but hey, better late than never — am I right?!

Essentially, I want to post it to every song choice that I considered. Mainly because this ish is 🔥 and my music taste is even better. Also, I paid for it so yall gon’ get this WERK! This one is the original edit done by @elenaparisphoto 💁🏾‍♀️

This is for all my late bloomers. I’m proud of us.

I’m shocked, read why below!

I’m shocked that no one has asked me about my weight loss journey. Sure it’s been commented on, but none of yall have really asked me how! And honestly, thank you for that. I’m both shocked and thankful that yall just let me get less fat in peace.

Whew, the moments where I struggle with body dysmorphia, I look at these photos and gosh do they tell a different story. Make sure you swipe!

Comment below if you want know more about my weight loss journey, my goals, and what I’ve been doing.

Hello Spring

It’s the first day of spring and I’m reminded that every day is filled with possibility. Later today, Mitch is coming home early so that we can meet with our fertility doctor. What we seek, is seeking us.

Happy Spring, Everyone.

I go to the city sometimes

Listen, I’ve made my peace with the fact that I live OUTSIDE Atlanta. We are deep in the BURBS. But sometimes, I go outside (ie sometimes I go to Atlanta).

I was planning on taking one of my “peer turned friends” to an Atlanta staple but I wound up being early and after taking a quick sweep of the Village, I was glad I saw @carmelatl. Can you say - Did. Not. Disappoint? 😮‍💨

Apparentlllyyyy they’ve been around for almost a year or whatever, so I’m a bit late to the party (hey, what’s new 😉?!). Anywho, What a stunning place! Even happier I went on a Friday for lunch. I felt I really got to enjoy my experience.

A nice chat with the bartender and maître D about the place being named after the owners daughter after I inquired if the place is inspired by Carmel, California (I think it isa bit).

If you have a moment to step into the city, during a reasonable time of the week, do check them out. I enjoyed everything about my experience. I hope my lil video does it a bit of justice. I love it when a restaurant gets it right.🙏🏾
