I am so excited I will be in town this weekend. Being away the past two weekends has put me so behind I’ve been working crazy hours and struggling to keep up (hence no blog post this past Wednesday). I have VIP tickets to the All Things Go Fall Classic music festival this weekend but…
My husband’s birthday was this past weekend, and it’s known as usually being a beautiful weekend in DC… one of the last of the season. We’ve made it a tradition to go away as a couple for his birthday weekend. Sometimes we go somewhere new (see our Asheville weekend getaway), and sometimes we decide on…
It’s Thursday evening and I am tired, both mentally and physically. We went camping last weekend and left early thanks to rain, which hasn’t really stopped ever since. I work on weekends, there’s no way to get everything with a blog done during the week, especially since I take time to go to the gym…
Fall is here… and my wardrobe is not ready. Most everything I wore this time last year no longer fits. Since working out on a regular basis I haven’t lost a ton of weight (less than 15 pounds) but building muscle has drastically changed the size and shape of my body. It’s not just my…

This week Emerson was back to school as a fourth grader. She loves her teachers and so far I am loving what they’re teaching her and her classmates. I’m also loving being back into more of a routine. Wake, do a bit of social, have my breakfast, hit the gym, come home long enough to…
When you read this I will be at my town’s Labor Day festival, working the book sale. If you follow my Instagram Stories you know about this event – my daughter’s school collects book donations from neighbors, sorts them into categories, sells them at the festival and all the money goes to the PTA. The…
This weekend is a bit of a whirlwind hence this going live late. Yesterday I had an interview with a very well-known publication, if the article happens I will be sure to share it. Last night I met with friends for some planning for this evening’s activity. This morning I went to Alexandria, Virginia bright…
