this week: kaitlin & i are learning how to manage a blog while working full time jobs.
chelsea just finished the book Divergent & starting the next book Insurgent
kaitlin is open for business with her talent skills of hair & makeup. i mean… look at this ombre she did of bethany
I am in the midst of the start of wedding season craziness. this week i will be in raleigh, north carolina for a wedding.
have any of you been to raleigh? would love recommendations for any coffee & lunch spots!


as spring is coming to an abrupt end, i would like to encourage everyone to literally stop and smell the cherry blossoms.
i find myself trying to live in the moment. taking each flower, warmth of the sunshine, cool walk in.


yesterday i whipped up one of my favorite recipes: basil, tomato & goat cheese quiche.

last year i had my own blog that i shared my favorite recipes & encouraged my readers to pursue a healthy lifestyle. (a fond life)
i made a video with this recipe & i hope you all try this simple recipe!

beat eggs, then add half & half (add salt & pepper to your liking)
slice up the tomato & add to the bottom of the pan
then do the same with the goat cheese & basil

  1. Hey Chelsea! I grew up in Raleigh. I haven't lived there for about 7 years, but I always hit up these local spots whenever I'm visiting:

    Humble Pie (tapas bar in the heart of downtown) http://humblepierestaurant.com/
    Raleigh Flea Market (located on historic fairgrounds, amazing thrifting + local vendors) http://www.ncstatefair.org/fleamarket/
    Cup a Joe (best coffee right by the NCSU campus) http://cupajoe.com/hillsborough-street/
    Mellow Mushroom (unreal pizza with gluten free & veg/vegan options) http://mellowmushroom.com/store/raleigh
