Last weekend we went to visit our sister Sarah up in Madison, Wisconsin! Such a fun city!! We rented a pontoon on lake Mendota on Friday. It was good to be on the water–made it officially feel like summer! That night we headed to The Old Fashioned where we ate our fair share of cheese curds. The next morning we got up bright and early to check out the farmer’s market at the Capitol. If you’ve been to Madison, most likely you’ve been to this market. It is seriously one of the neatest markets I’ve ever been to. Spicy cheese bread from Stella’s, bright fruits and veggies, and, of course, a large cookie that the baby insisted on!

After a few rounds at the market, we headed to Winga Park, where the group paddle boarded. I didn’t feel comfortable trying it for the first time pregnant so I was the official photographer! We wrapped up the evening and weekend watching the fireworks over the lake at Paisan Restaurant.

Thank you, Sarah, for an amazing weekend! We can’t wait to come back! I am now sitting waiting to board my flight to Kansas City for my cousin Katie’s baby shower and some more quality family time! Off to the next adventure!

Happy Thursday, friends!

Soooo Nashville was amazing. I have been swimming in a happiness haze ever since we returned. I can’t believe it’s already been a week since we got back! A little recap of our travels…

On Friday, Matt and I forgot about the time change so we got there a little before everyone else, so we headed to Germantown to explore. We stumbled upon The Cupcake Collection which is known for being Nashville’s best cupcake and snagged up the last 7 cupcakes they had for Nat’s birthday celebration!

Natalie, Tad, and Nick didn’t get in till around 10 so we stayed in, ordered some pizza, and caught up on the last 6 months since we’d all been together. And of course got into the cupcakes. Yum.

On Saturday, we set out to explore. We got brunch at The Southern and then headed towards the main strip. We walked that for a bit, stopping along the way for a quick refreshment.

We landed at Acme and stayed there pretty much the rest of the day before heading to Pucketts Grocery for dinner! The live music everywhere was by far the best part. And on top of it all: it was a gorgeous day!

On Sunday we headed to brunch at 12 South Taproom & Grill and then did a little shopping at White’s Mercantile!

It was such a fun trip and it had been way too long since we had all been together!

Hope you are all having a fabulous start to the week!

Today, 28 years ago, a very special girl was brought into my life and I am so proud to call her my sister. She is the smartest, funniest, and most sincere person I know. She wears many hats these days, but she will always be my Nennie girl!!

AND…we get to see each other in 12 hours! My mom, dad, brother, brother-in-law, and of course the birthday girl are meeting Matt and me in Nashville for the weekend!! It has been since Thanksgiving since we have all seen each other, so to say we are excited would be a gross understatement. Prepare for an Instagram overload!

Have a great weekend, friends!

Oops! It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these!! So, a quick little catch up: over the Fourth of July weekend, Matt and I headed to Indy to see some of Matt’s family! We also got to see our friends and their sweet baby. I love that all of them are so much closer!!

Speaking of which, Matt’s Mom and Stepdad came down for a little surprise trip. I didn’t have to work, so it was a perfect day for a little luncheon and some shopping!!

My parents came in town just a few days after Matt’s parents headed out….we had a fun filled weekend bopping around Columbus! We then headed to Indiana to spend a little time with Grandma!

Annnnnd….this weekend I am headed to a little girls weekend with some of my gal pals from Richmond!!

Lots happening!! What are you all up to??

Have a great Thursday, friends!
