I’m participating in another August Break from Susannah Conway on Instagram. I’ve really come to appreciate these times of focus every few months. Saturday’s prompt was “glass”, which tied in perfectly with this silly story from Saturday… which I’m only now sharing here on Monday. You don’t follow me for timeliness. ——– On my way…

OK, if I’m going to celebrate more this year, I guess I need to share all the fun drinks we made for our 1920s cocktail party at the end of last year. And maybe explain what these cooking collabs are all about. An Instagram foodie friend, Dora, introduced me to a group that all cooks…

Much like one of my favorite fictional heroines, Bridget Jones, I love a good mini-break. Hampton and I originally had plans to do a big French vacation for our 5th/my 40th… but then we bought a house. So we did three mini-breaks this spring and summer instead. And totally saved money, I’m sure. Since I’m…

Last weekend we took a minibreak to DC for a surprise baby shower and Hampton’s birthday. It started off with a bang. Literally. I was washing my hair Friday morning and heard a massive crash of glass. The globe from the ceiling fan on our upstairs landing had fallen and smashed EVERYwhere. Luckily, I didn’t…

It was predicted that our area of central NC was going to get hit with a whopper of a storm. And for once, “they” were right. Sunday, we got approximately 14.5″. We usually average less than half of that in an entire year. My choir gig’s Christmas cantata was canceled (and our second show at…

Yesterday was a beautiful Sunday. I had a voice lesson right after my church gig and got home just as Hampton did from work. We Netflixed and chilled with a late Tuscan lunch and then a clean-the-fridge panzanella with broiled sole. So adult. All that had to happen was my husband walking the dogs while…

Hampton hates buying presents, which is why we always take a trip for our anniversary. Since we celebrated his 40th in Miami in February, we went slightly more low-key and headed up to the mountains of North Carolina to celebrate #4 in one of our favorite places: Asheville. After getting stuck in terrible traffic (which…

When we first got the emergency vet estimate, we debated cancelling Hampton’s birthday trip. But when our sweet Louisa didn’t make it and my mother back Home in PA fell and broke her shoulder the same day, we decided we NEEDED a vacation. Like most Flat 493 trips, we had our fancy dinner reservations made…

If you saw my post-rehearsal Instagram gif on Friday night, you know I had big plans for doing very little this weekend. Preferably while not wearing pants. The weekend before was spent around lots of people I didn’t know seeing a band I didn’t know (#goodwifeaward) and this week was a rush of Nunsense choreo, so I…
