weekly roundup

how is it sunday already?  all in favor of adding another day (or two) to the weekend, say "i". . . 

cory and i have the cutest mama bird who has set up shop for her and her baby birds right underneath our front porch.  it's so sweet to see her working all day long to bring tiny morsels back to her babies, so they can grow and eventually "fly the coop".

we had our first (and probably our last since it was so darn good) tasting for a potential wedding caterer at backyard bistro in raleigh.  it was such a fun experience. . . and needless to say, we both left with very happy bellies.

i got to work all week with this lady^^^ (what's better than getting paid?  getting paid to work with one of your bff's!) and celebrate her new title of "homeowner" over the weekend!  i'm so proud of her.  congrats katie!

the bff persuaded me to step out of my comfort zone and attend the summer blogger buzz meeting.  at first i felt a little awkward (being slightly new to the whole blog scene and all), but everybody was so sweet and welcoming that i forgot how nervous i was about five minutes after i walked in the door.  not only did i get the opportunity to meet a lot of awesome local bloggers, but i picked up so many tips on how to improve my blog via social media.  oh, and don't even get me started on the yummy treats provided by hannah from swirl of cinnamon!  all i have to say is. . . key lime tartlets.

check out my goods from the sweet swag bag i got for attending: a nautical cookie, a super cute hair clip, and a colorful notepad!

i hope you all had a wonderful week too!

  1. It was so nice to meet you on Friday! I'm glad you stepped out of your comfort zone. When I started going to blogger meet ups last year, it made me so nervous!

  2. Mmmmm, that food is making me hungry and it's not even 10:00 am yet!

    You're right, getting paid to hang out with one of your besties (and scan a patient every now and then) is a great perk of our job :)

    Thanks for helping us break in our new house this weekend!

    P.S. I need to post our music video on YouTube ASAP.
