Weekend

I went to NYC for a super fast work trip and it has just worn me out.  The amount of information we covered in a short amount of time, still has my head reeling!  I am going to spend the weekend catching up on workouts, packing for the 4th and just chilling.

I'm a big fan of Kacey Musgraves, I love her tongue-in-cheek lyrics.  Her new album dropped this week and her single, "Biscuits" is one of my favorites.  Her line, "Pouring salt in my sugar, won't make yours any sweeter" absolutely nails it!  Definitely check out her music!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Father's Day!

This guy, my favorite guy, my first true love and the man who has guided me from my first step on.  He has cheered me on, consoled me, guided me and taught me to be driven and to always believe in myself.  He has taught me to dust myself off and get back up, to never give up on a dream and to always strive for more.  Thanks dad for being a wonderful person to look up to, you have made such a wonderful life for our family.  I am so grateful for everything you have taught me and for the example you have set.  Happy Father's Day!

I love you Poocha!  

A slow weekend

After a world-wind of a crazy week and weekend, that I wouldn't trade for the world, I am taking a chill pill this weekend!  I plan on catching up on sleep, working out and spending Sunday with family and of course Papa M for Father's Day!

I do believe that this song by Florida-Georgia Line will be my summer jam, "Anything Goes" is a killer song and I love the behind the scenes video of their life on the road.  Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Father's Day Gifts

I don't know about y'all, but I have one of the most difficult dad's to buy for.  Picky and high maintenance don't even begin to explain the struggle.  Below are some classic go-to's for Papa M.  

Smathers and Branson make the best hats-I love the patriotic ones best!

A polo is always a great choice, but even better with their team logo!

I bought my dad, brother and nephew matching swimsuits as a gift

Papa M swears by these t-shirts, that they are the softest and only get better with each wash

Whiskey Sticks from Twine & Twig, a very unique gift, made in the South.

Smathers and Branson beer can belt-Papa M loves this belt and wears it weekly!

M3 and Mimi Conversations......

Mimi: "You sure are cute"
M3: "I know, is that why everyone is stalking me for my pic?!?!" 

M3: "You sure do laugh hard at my jokes"
Mimi: "You're killing me kid"

M3: "Maymay sure is stalking me like the paparazzi....if I have to say CHEEESSSEEE one more time, UGH!"
Mimi: "You should smile like meeeee, smiling's my favorite"

M3: "Fine Maymay, here's a legit smile"
Mimi: "Hahahaha"

M3: "I like to move fast like a ninja so Maymay can't get a legit picture, it's a new game, you should try it!"
 Mimi: "Literally you are the funniest person I know, hahahaha"

M3: "Legit, these pics are BORING, I'm just gonna go for it and bite you Mimi, you're welcome in advance!"
 Mimi: "You little tiger, ouch!!"

Mimi: "Bigggg SQUEEZEEEE"
M3:"Is this a chokehold or what?!?!"

M3: "Fine, we can kiss and make up, after all you keep me in gummy worms and my sippy cup filled to the brim with milk"
Mimi: "Legit, I spoil you, so you better pucker up"

M3: "How many kisses do you want lady?!?!  I have to think about my reputation as the smoothest kid on the block"
Mimi: "Juuuussstttt one more"

M3: "Let's at least be ninja fast to ruin Maymay's pictures"

Traveling Gypsy

I flew back from Detroit Thursday and then drove to Raleigh to visit my bestie Megan's new baby-Sweet baby Hayes Elizabeth....the most adorable, sweet cheeked baby!

After visiting Hayes, I met my cousin Kellie and friends Erin and Mimi at Walnut Creek to see Mumford & Sons.  They put on one of the best shows I've seen, even Marcus Mumford said it was their best show yet!

Friday morning, I drove from Greensboro to Charlotte to fly out to Dallas to reunite with college friends, aka my sorority sisters!

Hello Friday night!

We bought friendship bracelets....naturally! 

We literally had the best weekend in Dallas.  Being reunited with friends that know you inside and out is such a gift!  We ate, drank, shopped, rocked Flash tattoos and just had the best time catching up.  We've already planned our next adventure for the fall.  Girls, I love y'all and can't wait for more adventures to come.
