Stripes and Plaid

Stripes and Plaid

Two cray things are going on here: The wind is blowing like nobody’s business, and I’m wearing hubby’s glasses. His actual prescription OMG-can-he-see-at-all glasses. Backstory: I accidentally left my Ray-Bans in the car and really didn’t feel like walking the 10 steps back to get them. Hub volunteered to grab […]

2 Easy Omelettes

2 Easy Omelettes

Salmon, Spinach, and Parmesan Omelette In my book, these two omelettes – each made with 1 egg + 1 egg white – have all the makings of great go-to meals: Yummy – Always #1… no matter how good-for-me something is, it’s hard to actually eat it if it’s not tasty. […]

Quick Change: Owl Sweater and Mint Button Down

Quick Change: Owl Sweater and Mint Button Down

Remember this owl print sweater + mint shirt combination from the double denim post? To switch it up a bit, I swapped the skinnies for a tweedy pencil skirt. On another, but related, note: I look like one of the “Desperate Housewives” in this picture. Love that tea mug, though; […]

AtlantaFresh Greek Yogurt

AtlantaFresh Greek Yogurt

This Greek yogurt from AtlantaFresh Artisan Creamery is the truth! It’s definitely not the typical eat-it-only-because-it’s-good-for-me bland yog, and I definitely do NOT just toss it into smoothies. It’s more like a treat and even – dare I say? – a healthy alternative to ooey gooey calorie-laden desserts. Y’all know […]

Yellow, White, and Gray

Yellow, White, and Gray

Last weekend, I was throwing the football around in the backyard in shorts and a tank top. Fast forward to Thursday/Friday, and it’s 40 arctic-windy* degrees outside! Well hello there, Spring! 🙂 *My hair is all over the place in these pics, thanks in part to the above mentioned breezes. […]

Three Things: Pens and Pencils

Three Things: Pens and Pencils

I have always had a thing for nice pens, pencils, notebooks, etc., so I thought I’d share three of the ones I’m loving right now. *Also, I don’t actually grow – or intend to grow – orchids. I do paint a little though, and I like to flip through the […]

Gluten Free Breakfast Cereals

Gluten Free Breakfast Cereals

Some of my friends from grad school and I met up for dinner, and MAN! Ordering our food was a trip! Amongst the four of us, there was a serious gluten allergy, three lactose intolerances, one soy allergy, and a couple cases of acid reflux. Of course, the conversation turned […]

Navy and Olive

Navy and Olive

There’s something about monochromatic dressing that I’m into right now. Maybe it’s the ease of dressing (just throw on a few things in the same color…exactly zero time and effort expended), or maybe it’s that I get to wear my favorite colors head-to-(almost)-toe. It’s probably a little of both 🙂 Side […]

THE Denim Jacket

THE Denim Jacket

Yo. Post pause: My friends IRL know that when I start a sentence with either “Yo” or “Y’all” I’m about to say something serious. Like a couple of months ago when Similac randomly mailed me cans of formula and a note – addressed to me by my FULL name – […]
