Breakers is neither a new nor new-to-us restaurant but it’s been one I’ve been wanting to feature for awhile. So here goes! Continue reading
Recipe: Chorizo, Kale and Onion Quiche
I love quiche. Sean loves quiche. Quiches are a frequent breakfast, lunch or even dinner in our house. I always make up my perfect pie crust and find that quiches are a great way to use up vegetables that need eaten or, in this case, to creatively use a yummy meat like chorizo. This is a quick and easy recipe for a family meal or to share with friends at brunch, etc. Continue reading
The Baby Chronicles: Harrison Jeffrey at 2 Months
On November 5, Harrison turned 2 months old! He continues to be a truly pleasant baby and I’m loving him more every day as we continue to bond. Being home with him is so nice and I’m trying my best to enjoy this special time as much as I can. As you can see from these photos, he has grown and changed a lot!
This onesie is from Cherish and Chris and was the first baby item we got. 🙂 Valerie gave me the gift bag and couldn’t resist letting me know before I opened it that “it’s a onesie. It’s for your baby!” That girl, she kills me. 😉 Continue reading
New Bites: Momonoki Cafe
Last November, we traveled to Japan for 10 days and had an incredible experience with the culture, scenery, cities and FOOD. We fell completely in love with Japanese food – its diversity is astounding and we continue to find ourselves seeking out restaurants across Atlanta to satisfy our cravings for everything from sushi to soba.
When we heard about a new Japanese cafe called Momonoki in Midtown, we knew we had to try it. The green tea soft serve ice cream was an immediate draw – we had some at a temple in Kyoto that I still dream about. I’ve been to Momonoki Cafe twice since it opened this past summer. Here’s what I recommend, along with some tips. Continue reading
Welcome, Baby Harrison: Newborn Photos
A week after we came from home the hospital with Harrison, we had newborn photos done at our house. Our friend and local Atlanta area photographer Elizabeth Buergler took the photos and we are absolutely thrilled with how they turned out. If you are looking for a talented, professional photographer for family, lifestyle or headshot photography, we highly recommend you give her a call! Her work speaks for itself, as you can see here. She also helped us with wardrobe ideas, poses, etc. We now have beautiful photographs of our little family to last a lifetime. <3 I hope you enjoy the photos! Continue reading
The Baby Chronicles: Harrison Jeffrey at One Month
Harrison turned one month old on October 5! I can’t believe it’s already been a month with this little nugget. He sure has grown a lot and we’re continuing getting to know each other. I wanted to start a little series for this first year of his life to highlight the monthly changes he’s going through and keep up with the photos to see how he grows. Continue reading
Family Memories + Our Re-upholstered Rocker-Recliner
My mom’s dad, who passed away from a heart attack when she was 13, had had this Lazy Boy recliner and it stayed in our family, used often by all of us and featured in countless photos. My brother and I were rocked in it, played on it, slept in it and received much love in it.
After my mom and stepdad built their house in the late 1990s, it went into the basement and stayed there. Ever a quality piece with a sentimental value, it was out of sight but not out of mind and whispers of getting it reupholstered occurred from time to time. Read on to see what we ended up doing with the chair. Continue reading
My Pregnancy Journey in Photos
I didn’t write much about my pregnancy experience. I had planned to do a bit more on Instagram but bumpie came two weeks early. I’ve put my progression pictures here because I think it’s cool to have the bump photos all together. 🙂 And while things are still fairly fresh in my mind, I’ve included some other details and information from when I was pregnant, just for memories and fun.
