Food + Style + Life, in Charlotte, NC
School is back in session across the Charlotte area and, if you're like us, the adjustment has been rough. Once all the carpools and pick-ups and after-school activities are done, there isn't much time to make dinner for the fam. For the nights when you didn't make it to the store, forgot to turn on the [...]
If you ever view the stories on our Instagram account, you know that we (along with the rest of the masses) are big fans of Kindred in Davidson. No one, especially not anyone in the Charlotte area, needs to be told that Kindred is good. It's not a secret, or an unpopular opinion, and you [...]
It's been a few years now since my family and I moved back to Charlotte. We had always known that we wanted to end up back in the area, but hadn't narrowed down where exactly, until the time actually came to buy a house. We considered houses all over, but in the end, Davidson appealed [...]
Anyone who knows my husband and I, knows that we spent some of the best years of our lives as South Carolinians. Back in 2011, my husband's position in the military required us to leave the Tar Heel State for our neighbors to the South, for a two-and-a-half year stint in Charleston. We adapted quickly [...]
As soon as I learned Charlotte was getting a cat café, I knew I had to go, but I also knew I'd never hear the end of it from my daughter if I went without her. She's only six years old and Mac Tabby Cat Café typically only allows kids seven years old and older. But, [...]
If you read our last post, you know that our weekday diets are largely comprised of quick bites; inhaled just slowly enough to enjoy them. Workday lunches can be tough: of course they need to be fast, but I also find that cravings are much more specific when I'm halfway through a hectic say, Wednesday, than [...]
You have 30 minutes to run out, grab some food, and get back to your desk. Go. Sound familiar? This is us almost every weekday; jumping from meeting to meeting and just trying to cram some food in our faces before the next appointment. These days, no matter where you are in the Charlotte area, [...]
What is it about three-day weekends that makes us want to cram as many activities into them as possible? Where normally we might be lazy, I suppose the extended break from school and work makes us want to take full advantage of our free time. The mild(ish) weather, and the nearing end of the school [...]
Working from home is the dream, right? You sleep in, wear pajamas all day, work from the couch and showering is completely optional. Well, kinda. We both have full-time work-from-home jobs: Carly in the apparel industry, and Haley in clinical research. While working from home is pretty fantastic most of the time, sometimes staring at [...]
This time of year (especially in Charlotte), you don't always know what kind of weather you'll wake up to... and if you've been in the Queen City this week, you know it's been nothing but intermittent and unpredictable rain, paired with pretty intense humidity. This morning however, we were greeted with mild temps and a [...]
