National Pizza Day + A Free Online Calligraphy Class Tomorrow!

According to our family March 30th is National Pizza Day, also known as my dad’s birthday! He’s a New Yorker who loves (!!!!) pizza, so for as long as I can remember we’ve referred to this day as National Pizza Day and eat at his pizza joint of choice for dinner. The whole family (minus the sons-in-law) will be here today, so we’re looking forward to dinner out together later on.

Today I’ll also likely pick up a calligraphy pen and do a little bit of doodling following the beginner’s calligraphy class I took yesterday thanks to The Scarlet & Gold shop. SO FUN! Scarlet & Gold a small business based out of Auburn, Alabama and sell all kinds of pretty things that I basically want to decorate my whole house with. I talked about them briefly last summer when I first purchased one of their notebooks and some placemats!
I follow them on Instagram and noticed a few weeks ago that they were gearing up to offer a free calligraphy class. I’ve never had an interest in calligraphy but have a huge interest in sending snail mail, so I figured trying my hand at it could be a fun way to spend the afternoon. Hadley and I ran to Michael’s yesterday afternoon to pick up a beginners kit, and I was set up with my materials and laptop at 4 o’clock for the live stream!
The intro class lasted about 40 minutes, but it flew by and felt like five. I’m no where good at it, but sitting on the couch practicing last night was really relaxing and a fun way to wind down before bed. 

If you’re interested in taking this free beginner’s course, Scarlet & Gold will be offering one more course tomorrow night! It’s a little late to order the materials online, but you can pick them up at any craft supply store. Here’s the link for more info!
I hope you have a great Monday! See ya later this week.

Hi! I’m Erica, and I absolutely adore sharing my life on this website with you! I come here almost daily to blab about all of the things related to being a regular wife and mother in today’s ever-evolving society. I share about our new home, what’s on our kitchen table, what we’re hanging in our closets, where we’re traveling to next, my crazy 5 a.m. work outs, how I make time for girlfriends, our faith, and much more. We always have a lot of balls in the air and somewhat thrive on the chaos. I believe in the power of story-telling as a form of inspiration and entertainment, so I’m here to do both! I was born and raised in north Alabama and recently re-planted roots here again after my husband transitioned out of the Army (he is now in the Reserve and it’s going so well!) I’m a super proud mom to three little girls (ages 7, 4, and 1) who seem to be the stars of the show around here (for good reason – they’re pretty great!) I’m so glad you found me and are here reading! I hope we can get to know each other here on the blog as well as Facebook and/or Instagram. xoxo
