Are we . . . almost halfway through September? Is this real life? Somehow, the answer to that is yes. I’m back in Charleston, doing showings, teaching mahj, stitching, and . . . heading back to West Virginia in two weeks! I really love to try to get to Morgantown as much as possible during …
Happy Sunday! Two Sundays in a row coming to you from my Morgantown porch, a cooler-temped luxury. We did have some warmer days this week, much to my dismay, but not Charleston hot. WVU had their first game of the season yesterday, I love the insane amount of hope I get for a season every …
Fall is knocking on our doors, not today but soon! I love fall. I actually think it may be my favorite season. September is definitely a top tier month for me. We have cooler weather, sweaters, jeans, FOOTBALL. There’s so much. Oysters! I almost forgot that it’s an R month. So much to be excited …
Happy first Sunday of August! One week until my birthday trip and I’m so excited about it. We leave early next Sunday and come back late Friday night. The perfect amount of time away, plus it gets you home for a full Monday! Last Monday felt like my first really, really productive Monday since coming …
Hello, August! How did you show up so quickly this year?! I blinked back in February and now it’s August 1. Every month when I work on this post, I remind myself to not repeat the phrase “I love a new month” but I really do love a fresh start. That’s as close as I’m …
Bonjour! Happy July from Paris, France! We all know I love a new month and a fresh start. Now add that to a vacation and you have a recipe for a sweet treat for me! I’ll be back to Charleston in about ten days and I can’t wait to do all the things Charleston offers …
Oh hello from . . . the airport! I missed this corner of the internet so much the last two weeks but I was in . . . OMAHA.(For reference, I am only saying Omaha like Florence sings FLORIDA in her song with Taylor)I flew out this past Thursday for the NCAA College World Series. …
First Sunday of June, what a treat! I am really leaning into an easy breezy summer, even with everything I have planned and on my calendar. There’s so much to look forward to this summer and I’m so excited for it all. But I’m also excited for lazy(ish) summer days, long al fresco meals and …
Happy June 1!! I’m writing this from the lounge at the Pittsburgh airport, coming back from my West Virginia long weekend (almost a week!). I am so looking forward to June: an aquarium event, longer days, al fresco meals, and finally we leave for London in a few weeks! What are you looking forward to …
Happy last day of MAY! What a month this was! Coming at you from my house in Morgantown, where WVU is hosting an NCAA regional baseball bracket (let’s go!). They need to win at noon today in order to advance (and then win TWO MORE TIMES through Monday). I really love my Morgantown getaway weeks, …
