It’s been a long time since I started this blog and committed to rediscovering the area where Will and I were born and raised. Oddly enough, living in a place all your life doesn’t necessarily equate to knowing it through and through. I’ve realized over the years there is a lot here I’ve never seenRead more
Holidays really are a whole new experience with little ones. It’s experiencing an Easter egg hunt for the first time. Discovering hidden treasures around every corner. Trying to grasp the concept of placing your newfound treasures in your brightly colored bucket. Putting on your Sunday’s best and being forced to smile for a million familyRead more

This July we will get to be together as a family…full time. But that’s not all folks! We are moving back to Asheville for good.Read more
