Yesterday morning at the gym Selena Gomez’s song “Back To You” came on, and I instantly felt all warm and fuzzy inside because I was emotionally transplanted back in time to driving around Liechtenstein. The last time I heard that song was last Thursday early afternoon right as we crossed the border from Austria into Liechtenstein. The windows were down,… Keep Reading
Rothenburg, Germany + Two Sweet Days of Downtime
Going to Europe was exciting for obvious reasons, but more than anything I was simply craving quiet time with my sister and her family. Though we wanted to get out and enjoy Germany, I let Jennifer know ahead of our trip that it was 100% okay if we took a couple days to just relax in her home, let the… Keep Reading
Our Back-to-School Daily Rhythm
Thank you Council For Responsible Nutrition for sponsoring this post. I am proud to be one of the 170 million Americans who take dietary supplements each year! With nearly two full months of the school year under our belts, it’s safe to say that the girls and I have settled into a nice weekly routine. Though I like a shake-up… Keep Reading
Traveling to & Our Weekend in Germany
Helloooo (or “Hallo!”) from Germany! If you’re wondering, “Erica, you’re on vacation. Why are you writing a blog post?” It’s because I am so very, very jet-lagged and can’t get my act together! Oy. It’s currently just after midnight on Monday here in Ansbach, Germany, and though the rest of the house is passed out, I’m wired. What can ya… Keep Reading
Slice of Life: September 26th, 2018
Hello, hello! It’s raining heavily here in north Alabama right now, which has made for a pretty cozy, slow day so far. I took the morning off from the gym to sleep (I always try to do this at least one weekday per week to get some extra sleep), and then we were able to spontaneously FaceTime with my mother-in-law… Keep Reading
A Return Back to Title Town
Jamie and I have been antsy to attend a big Alabama football game for years, but making the stars align for this to happen when we lived halfway across the country + having two young children was difficult impossible. We were determined to get down to a game this season though since we’re finally living close to Tuscaloosa (2.5 hours… Keep Reading
5 Reasons I Love My Pampered Chef Stone + An Online Party
Much to my horror, I recently discovered that my almost eight year old Pampered Chef stone wasn’t invincible after all and had cracked into three pieces right smack in the middle of dinner baking. HOLD ME. HOW WILL WE EAT!? All kidding aside, I use our stone almost daily, so this seemed like a first world crisis. 😉 It’s bizarre… Keep Reading
The Necessity and Heartache of Disciplining
Two year olds are complete jokers. Oh my Heavens. Two of my very best friends plus my sister all have two year olds (they were all born within three months of each other), and I swear all four of us swap days were we are sending snaps on Snapchat related to losing our absolute you know what. Having this solidarity… Keep Reading
