Recap of a recent healthy meal I cooked.

Reliving Our Big Day
I can’t stop smiling. James and I have spent the past two days constantly looking through our wedding photos, which we got back this week. It’s so much fun to relive the special moments of our big day through pictures. Our photographer, Stephen Haas, did a great job capturing the mood of the day. […]
#WeStandWithWDBJ
I’ve been struggling to find the right words all day. I’m angry. I’m sad. I’m shocked. I didn’t know Alison Parker or Adam Ward, but I know so many people who are just like them — young, bright-eyed journalists working long, hard hours hoping to make a difference in their communities. They lift viewers up […]
The Celebrations Continue
We’re back in town after another weekend spent on the road. If only we were cruisin’ in that ’57 Chevy the whole time! We went back to James’ hometown for a night to celebrate our marriage with some of his family’s friends. We only had about 120 people at our wedding, so James’ mom wanted […]
Whirlwind Weekend Getaway
I’m struggling, y’all. We took a quick weekend trip back up to our old stomping grounds in South Bend. We had an absolute blast, but got back late Sunday night and my life feels so off-balance right now. It’s almost like I need a vacation to recover from vacation. And, I will have one — I fly […]
Why Whole 30 Isn’t For Me
Remember when I decided to commit to Whole30? I only lasted four days. It certainly wasn’t for lack of trying — I was excited and invigorated by the challenge and meal prepped my heart out ahead of time. I was having a blast trying out new meals that were Whole30 compliant. I felt completely prepared. […]
Embarking On Whole30
I haven’t had sugar, grains or dairy all day. And, I’M STILL ALIVE! It’s a miracle. Today marks day one of Whole30 for me. If you’re not familiar with the program, it involves eliminating problematic foods from your diet in order to “reset” your body. It’s not supposed to be a diet, but a life-changing experience that changes […]
Our Minimoon: Cincinnati
Happy Sunday, everyone! We’re relaxing after spending a night in a cabin at McCormick’s Creek State Park with a few friends. We had a blast hiking around to the waterfalls and Wolf Cave. We can’t wait to go back! We also can’t wait to go back to Cincinnati, which is where we spent the last […]
Our Minimoon: South-Central Indiana
Hi, y’all! I know I’ve been a little absent from the blog over the past two weeks. I’ve been having too much fun relaxing and enjoying married life! After a couple of glorious weeks off, James and I both went back to work this week. We are happy to get back to our routines, but […]
My Latest Fix
Shortly before we headed out of town for our wedding, I received my latest Stitch Fix. I scheduled one to arrive right before all of the chaos to give me something else to focus on and look forward to. Having that box arrive on my doorstep is always such a treat! If you aren’t familiar […]
The Best Day Ever
I haven’t stopped smiling since Saturday. Our wedding was more perfect than I ever imagined. It still feels like a dream and I’m so ridiculously happy. In the days leading up to our big day, I barely slept. The forecast for May 30th kept getting worse — rain and storms all day. By Friday, we […]
Wedding Wednesday: The Final Countdown
We are just ten days away from our wedding. I still can’t believe it’s almost here! Earlier tonight, James and I were talking about how it hasn’t really hit us yet that we’re finally going to be married. We’ve been talking about and planning a wedding for so long that we don’t feel any different […]
