life lately [special edition]
It’s been almost a month since my last blog post. I’ve been busy, but not too busy. I’ve been enjoying life and husband and family and friends, and for some reason haven’t felt like blogging.
And that’s why I love this. I have no requirement or burden to blog every week. I blog for me, and if I need time to rejuvenate and not pick up a computer after work, so be it.
I love all my readers, and hopefully they’ve missed my posts at least a little. And while it was nice to step away a bit and enjoy the fall season moving in, I’m excited to be back with several posts on the tip of my fingers.
But first, let me catch you up a little on my life lately …
{loving this || wednesday over water at crystal bridges, presidential style!}
{drinking this || first PSL of the season!}
{dining in this || blindfolds… for dining in the dark at river grille – we ate alpaca! eek!}
{eating this || italian sausage tortellini soup – the best fall recipe!}
{overly excited about this || fixing our walls after our puppy ate them. you can just call us chip and joanna}
{buying this || amazing sunflowers + arkansas black apples at the farmers market}
{enjoying this || tailgating + a birthday night out in fayetteville}
{bingeing this || SUITS! love me some mike + harvey}
Other eventful happenings …
– a hand infection from my rose bushes that caused 2 dr. visits, 1 allergic reaction, 5 medications + countless sleepless nights
– a new KING bed! pictures and blog post to come
– FALL PARTY! celebrating the best season of all with apple cider mimosas, lots of brie + champagne soaked clothes. of course I have photos and of course I will do a post about it soon.

I’ve been horrible at blogging lately. In fact, it’s been 2 1/2 months since my last life lately, which is typically a bi-weekly post. Oops. I just haven’t felt like blogging when I come home from work, and with a personal blog like mine, if you want to take some time off you can. No pressure.
But good news, friends, I’m back! The last month hasn’t been too eventful, which has been a nice change of pace. Especially since April-June are already booking up quickly … but before we get into that, let’s look at what I’ve been up to lately.
{dying over this || when I got pulled onstage during a local production of Spamalot because the “Holy Grail” was under my chair}
{eating this || amazing meat + cheese tray for a friday night in with husband}
{loving this || quick beach time in florida for a work conference}
{hosting this || Oscars party! #savewaterdrinkchampagne}
{enjoying this || beautiful weather at a ping-pong tournament at our favorite brewery}
{planning this || a trip to St. Lucia for our 5-year anniversary in May}
Tomorrow, I’m headed to Tulsa for my first trip to Trader Joe’s … with a Trader Joe’s fanatic … this will most definitely be a blog post next week.
Have a beautiful Easter weekend!
