Hashtag adulting. We are slowly and surely settling in but before I get into how everything is manifesting, ...

The Eiffel Tower From Day To Night
Sitting here... Organizing these photos, I'm getting a little emotional just thinking back on these moments in Paris so I hope you'll excuse me if things get a bit sappy with a little profanity on the side for today's post. The Eiffel Tower, for me, was a defining moment on our ...

Father’s Day Brunch w/ My All American Family
As the oldest of 6 siblings in my family, I sometimes find myself taking on the role of "family wrangler" for get-togethers... Especially when it comes to wrangling everyone together for family photos haha. This past Sunday, Charles and I made our way over to my Dad's place to ...
Taco Night With My Seeeeeester :)
^^ Press Play I've found that whenever we have my little sister, Gigi, over, it's best if we eat meals that are interactive a.k.a. food that she can play with. Most times, that usually means tacos. She loves putting whatever toppings she wants on on her tacos and it's great for us because it's ...

Mouth Over Mind At The Waffle House
^^ Press Play My mind is telling me no, but my body (a.k.a. my mouth) is telling me yessssssssssssssss! <- Pretty much how I feel whenever I go to a restaurant or bar and order something off the menu that isn't considered "clean or healthy or (this one is my favorite) good for you." ^^ My ...
Philadelphia Skyline From The Benjamin Franklin Bridge
One of my favorite things about living in Northern Virginia (and on the East Coast side of America in general) is that I'm centrally located between alot of different major cities. D.C. is less than a 25 minute drive away. Baltimore is 1 hour. Richmond is 2 hours. Philadelphia is 2 1/2 ...
May Happening
1) Charles and I officially put in our 2 months notice to our landlord. He responded by saying, "Ok. I'm going to put your apartment on the market this week then." It's kind of weird getting back into the apartment hunting zone after living in one place for 3 years but time is of the essence. ...
