My family came to visit us from New York this week, and it’s safe to say they’re all heading back home a few pounds heavier. It’s not their fault – it’s the amazing southern food here in Charlotte. MPR and I treated them to all of our favorites: Tupelo Honey Cafe, Duck Donuts, Bakersfield, Two… Continue reading Friday vibes: September 30

Last night marked the third night of riots in Charlotte. While they’ve been occurring a few blocks away from us, we’ve been living with a steady hum of helicopters overhead, pops and bangs of tear gas at night, and an overcast of heavy hearts. It’s sad to see our beautiful city get smashed and torn… Continue reading Friday vibes: September 23

Well, I had another “bad fur mom” moment this week. While I was out shopping with my friend, we left our puppies together to play, and when we got back, poor little Rufio was limping. After a visit to the vet on Monday we found out he injured the tendons around his knee and now… Continue reading Friday vibes: September 16

Going back to work after a 3-day weekend is always equal parts depressing and refreshing. The fact that this particular 3-day weekend signaled the end of summer made it harder. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t focused straight ahead on hoodies and the holidays. I also have my family coming to visit… Continue reading Friday vibes: September 9

I was originally hoping to soak up the last of summer this weekend and maybe get in one more pool day, but… Continue reading Friday vibes: September 2

What’s that? Cool air? Yes, the humidity in Charlotte has finally broken 🙌🏻 That’s the first sign that fall is on its way, and I cannot wait. Summer is actually my least favorite season of the year. The only thing that makes it bearable down here is the fact that I have a pool right… Continue reading Friday vibes: August 26

This week I had my first taste of, what I assume will one day be, “working mom guilt.” I had a particularly great week in the office: pitched a winning idea to a client, caught wind of some exciting new projects, and got the creative juices flowing in some inspiring brainstorming sessions. At home, however, I… Continue reading Friday vibes: August 19

This week I was completely burned out. I think I’m still trying to catch up from my business trip in Seattle last week (full recap coming soon) and my missed hours of sleep. It was a good reminder that when you think everything sucks, take a step back and think for a second: Do I… Continue reading Friday vibes: August 12

This week was a great one. For one, it was the first time all month I started to feel like my normal self again. The z-pak finally defeated the bronchitis and nasty sinus infection I picked up in Edmonton. I’m no longer drowning in mucus. But on top of that, I attended two networking events: the… Continue reading Friday vibes: July 29
