ALDI's Pineapple Jalapeño Hummus

I spotted this Pineapple Jalapeño hummus at ALDI this week in the little chilled area where they put fun products that are only around for a limited time. You know where I'm talking about? I love that spot, because I'm all about fun new things to try. Pretty sure M…

Happy Friday! How has your week been? Our weekend started out fun with my in-laws visiting. I took zero photos during that time, but it was great to spend time with them. The weekend was filled with yummy food from local spots, pool time (the weather in Charlotte was perfection), ice cream, and mini golf. I've been dealing with some health things that are making me feel less than awesome some days, so that was a nice distraction. This weekend I'm looking forward to spending some quality time…

Happy Friday! While the work week was short with Memorial Day it is feeling plenty long due to an overwhelming number of sad cases at work. Thank goodness for sweet and healthy patients in-between that help to balance the tough moments. Initially I wasn't planning on writing a Friday Favorites post this week (I'm thinking about cutting back or discontinuing them), but after a sad week it's always helpful to reflect on some of the things I'm currently loving. As always, I'd love to hear what'…

Happy Friday! It has been a hot one in Charlotte this week and looking at the forecast it appears that weather is here to stay. For some reason I like to wait until it's in the 90's to finally work on my gardens so that has taken up the majority of my spare time this week. I also finally organized my garage which feels SO good. I live an incredibly exciting life, I know. Once again I'm sharing some of the things that have made me smile this week including a review of one of our favorite res…

Happy Friday! This week ended up looking a little different than planned. I was pretty psyched to get some more sleep and to try out a phone-free bedtime routine for Week 2 of Mindful May. Instead I spent the first half of my week curled up in the fetal position and visiting Urgent Care. I did go to bed early, but not in the serene "I'm so mindful" way I envisioned. Since I'm working on mindfulness, I tried to use some meditating to help with nausea. Yeah...I'm not at that point yet. Des…

Happy Friday! How has this week been treating you? So far I'm going strong with Mindful May and enjoying setting more of an intention to being present. Last weekend I was looking forward to the first Yoga by the Lake of the year, but unfortunately the weather had other plans. Instead I did yoga on our deck while it rained which was actually kind of refreshing. In case your weekend forecast has rain in it like ours, that can be a way to still enjoy a little time outdoors while enjoying the m…

Happy Friday! This has been a busy but interesting week with a lot more travel than usual. Matt and I attended a friend’s wedding over the weekend, and then I was in Ohio for a work trip for the majority of this week. Both were great but also exhausting. I’m definitely ready to be home spending some quality time with my husband this weekend! I'll also be focusing on mindfulness for Mindful May.

Happy Friday! I don't know if it's because the sun finally came out or what, but I've been in a pretty good mood all week. Whatever the cause, I'll take it. I have lots of things I want to share with you today. In case you missed it, earlier this week I shared the lessons I learned from my DIY nightmare backsplash project and my current workout playlist (plus an awesome workout). I have a bunch of recipes I'm hoping to share with you guys soon. One of them is another nut butter recipe, bu…

Happy Friday! I hope your week has been wonderful. I feel like I really started to notice how much lighter it's getting later into the evening this week and along with the warmer temps I'm getting some summer vibes. Yayy sunlight. Once again I'm checking in to share some of the things that I'm loving this week. As always, I'd love to hear what things made you smile this week in the comments! Thanks for stopping by. <3

Beer Lab

Beer Lab is definitely going to become a favorite local place that we visit frequently. We were smitten from the moment we walked into this cute new spot in Moores…
