Day Trippin'

We were all getting a little antsy at my parents house and we decided it would be a good idea to get a late lunch in a nearby town, Fredericksburg, VA. This town is beyond adorable! I have never really spent much time there, but, I'm already itching to go back. The main street is quaint, the stores are cute and it all looks like it probably did in the early 1900's minus the horse and carriages. We ate at a GREAT place called Foode, I highly recommend. The staff was amazing, the ambiance was sweet and the food, YUM! Here are some pics for you to enjoy. You can also read some amazing things about Fredericksburg and it's history with the Civil War, George Washington's farm nearby and lots of other incredible tidbits, here. 

       

Happiest Of Holidays!

Merry Christmas, Everyone! I hope you all had such a wonderful time celebrating, being with family and eating too many cookies. I know I did all of the above! 

I didn't take too many photos this year -- I decided to practice "mindfullness" and really soak in Maddie's FIRST CHRISTMAS! It was lovely and I think she really enjoyed being among her cousins and opening presents. 

Here is our Holiday Card that we sent out this year. I think we nailed the first year of parenthood with this one. 

This one is my favorite... little Mads getting read "Twas The Night Before Christmas" by her Papa. Sitting there also is one of her cousins, Luke. I was amazed how into it she was. Must help with all the funny voices Papa uses. I need to incorporate that into my night time book reading for her! 

And, here is how Macaroni was most of the holiday. Hiding under the table hoping, just HOPING to get some scraps. What a goober. 

Bring on 2015 -- I'm READY! 

Now Sold At...

I'm SOOO excited about this one! 

We are now sold in the charming Washington General Store in Hoboken, NJ. (509 Washington St.  Hoboken, NJ  07030)

Seriously, friends, this store is too cute and adorable. It's exactly what my dream store would look like. 

So go in, say "hi" to Meghan and pick up a bottle of 9Months. I bet you'll walk out with much more at check out! 

December Sun

We've been having some incredible weather here in our part of the state. Its been in the mid 50's and sunny, sunny, sunny! You know who is enjoying it the most though? Macaroni. 

Here he is in all his glory. 

Weekend WrapUp

We headed to Asheville, NC this past weekend and it was adorably adorable. Scott ended up taking a really, really, really long way there and I nearly busted out of the car once we arrived. There is nothing worse than being on small windy roads in the middle of nowhere with a 6 month old. But, before I get too upset remembering, I'll just start posting photos. I wish I had more, but, they are very strict about not taking ANY photos inside the home. I typically don't listen to rules, but, I was so side tracked by it's beauty, I actually stayed in the moment of being there and witnessing rather than documenting. It was awesome. 

That last photo of Mads reaching for her Daddy's beer is my favorite. She is just so funny with him. They already have their own way of relationg to each other and she is MUCH rougher with him. I love it. Scott also recently shaved his big burly beard and she did NOT know what to think of that. She kept touching his face as if she didn't know who he was right away. Too cute. 

I can't wait to head back to Asheville this spring. There is a great wine tasting village on the property that we didn't get to enjoy and the town has what looks like some great art galleries. Not to mention the gardens will be in full bloom too! It will be gorgeous!

What I Currently Can't Live Without

Having a 6 month old, a full time job and building a business doesn't leave you with a lot of time for yourself. However, there is one thing that I ALWAYS try to put on my face, since time for makeup is totally out of the question (sorry, Husband). I'd like to introduce you to Origins VitaZing Energy Boosting Moisturizer. It truly is the greatest moisturizer that I have EVER used for a few reasons... 

1. It feels really good putting on. 

2. It doesn't have a strong smell. 

3. It gives my face a natural tint that it desperately needs since I'm sleep deprived, like whoa. 

4. The price isn't outrageous, so I feel good about the semi splurge. 

I promise you that this is not an ad -- it really is on my list of things I do not go out of the house without. I mean, sometimes, I forget my keys, wallet, dogs breakfast, but, you better believe I remembered to put VitaZing on my face! 

You can find it here or on Amazon, here. 

Thanksgiving

Did everyone have a great Thanksgiving? I sure did. 

We went to my parents house in the middle of nowhere, Virginia and ate too much, laughed too much and didn't relax enough! We did however, find time for a cute family picture. 

It was VERY cold over the weekend, but, we did find ourselves outside a lot. Its always nice to sit on a dock no matter the weather. I'm my opinion at least. 

Hope everyone had a wonderful time with family and had big full bellies. 

Cheers!
