Here’s life lately with a side of blueberries and my quick trip to NC.
Hola!
Hello from my cheerful desk. I just love being in this house! This is the view from my desk when I look right, and it’s my favorite! To the left I look out on the neighborhood and can keep track of the mail and delivery drivers! Plus, all the cute kids playing.
Home Purchases
I’ve ordered a few more things for the loft and I think I’m done purchasing things for a while now! Wayfair is having a big 4th of July sale, so the timing was perfect. I got this storage buffet for the loft to house puzzles and gifting supplies. And I also decided to splurge on a Koala sofa bed! I got the Byron sofa in Forest Green. It was so hard to choose a color, but I went with green in hopes it won’t show dirt as much.
I also bought this wicker bench for my front nook:
Maybe I do still need to buy a hose to wash the siding and floor!
Oliveda Sale
Oliveda is also having a 4th of July sale: 35% off everything sitewide through Sunday, July 5. Spend $149 or more and you’ll also get a free full-size product, and orders over $50 ship free.
- Today & Thursday: free F06 Cell Active Serum — a cellular reset for dull, tired, or stressed skin.
- Friday through Sunday: free F59 Corrective Serum — their “magic in a bottle” best seller.
Coffee Station
This cabinet, with pull-out shelves, is my new coffee and smoothie station!
I got this small canister that comes with a 1/8-cup scoop that fits on the side for french press.
Visit To Hillsborough!
The boys are at Grammie + Pea Camp this week in North Carolina. I drove them down on Saturday and spent the night.
We had dinner at Pizza Cornicione, which is my favorite restaurant in town!
Because the pizza is amazing, and it’s also next to Whit’s!! Mini Oreo Whitser!
The snake is from Grammie’s collection of rubber snakes, but that doesn’t mean the boys didn’t want to use it to try to scare her in the morning : )
Sunday morning I did a Walkabout through Hillsborough. I always go by my childhood house.
And I ended up at Steve’s Market where I got this s’mores cinnamon roll. I had to!! I am marshmallow obsessed.
I came back to enjoy more pizza from Birch and gave the boys big hugs before heading back to Cville for the week. They have big plans to go to a swamp (haha) and Virginia Beach! The boys LOVE this “camp” every year.
While they are gone I am making Blue Apron and enjoying making Old Fashioneds to bring to my rooftop. I got these glasses and love them!
These sandwiches were SO GOOD! (And that’s a nonalcoholic Aperol spritz!)
Rewinding Back
Here is a photo dump from the last few weeks!
Snake Attack
Speaking of real snakes, I had a teenage black snake enter my garage and go into the wall before I moved. (This is why I moved haha). It was quite terrifying, so Birch was allowed to sleep in my bed that night. He was pleased.
Hogwarts treasure hunt
Decades Arcade
Birch spent hours on this Star Wars game on two different occasions:
And I loved playing Mario Bros and Tetris!
We also enjoyed a nice lunch at Riverside at the boys’ request.
Farewell Fabi
One of the biggest personalities in our friend group – Fabi – moved to Tucson. We will miss him and his costumes and singing!
Accidental all-black night:
Happy hour + Rummikub at Bang!
Girl Dinners:
Leftover pork / coconut rice / simple salad
Greek bowl with….leftover chicken nuggets!
Didn’t want them to go to waste!
