Berry Antioxidant Smoothie

Berries have a fabulous reputation for being very good for you. These sun-kissed fruits are not only delicious and pretty, but they keep your memory sharp as you age (I just found this out!) and are very important for a healthy digestive system. I could use the extra memory help right now as I head into my third trimester of pregnancy. Who knew remembering what I went into a particular room for would be so hard. I love a good Glowing Green Smoothie, but sometimes a girls gotta have a pink ... View the Post

Scallop Shorts Part 2: Chambray All Day

(Check out Part 1 of this post here.) I've been out of town every weekend since school got out a month ago. I've been to family reunions, birthday weekends, and anniversary trips. It's been hectic but fun, and I've been grateful for this capsule every step of the way! It's made packing a snap, and I've felt like I've had the perfect outfits for everything from a lake party in Georgia to a long weekend in Portland. Turns out my style schizophrenia has served me well this summer. On Thursday ... View the Post

So…what are you going to DO?

I'm not going to lie: I thought quitting my job would be easier. I'd counted down the days until the end of the school year and stashed away enough funds to give me "paychecks" through September.

I'm grieving what I thought was going to be my life-long career. I loved teaching, but I hated being a teacher. I loved working with children, ... View the Post

Gender: Can’t wait until the Midwife/Doctor holds the baby up (“Lion King” style) and says, “It’s a boy!” or “It’s a girl!” Baby bump: I said goodbye to my belly button this week. Ahhhhh. Like my mom would say, “It's as flat as a pancake.” I’m sure baby will kick it out one of these days. Movement: Baby loves to move around and scrape his/her ... View the Post

Summer Panzanella with Sourdough Croutons

Newsflash: summer in the Carolinas is hot. (Shocking, I know.) I've huddled in the A/C, lounged in the pool, and stashed away our blow dryers for the moment. I've stayed away from the oven and microwave. But a girl's gotta eat, right? Cue panzanella. An Italian bread salad, it's mostly fresh (meaning: no-cook) veggies, with homemade croutons that you chop and toast yourself. The ingredient list itself isn't that spectacular, but it's the amazing vinaigrette makes this truly mouth-watering. ... View the Post
