Learner’s Permit
Happy Friday! I treated myself today and ordered a sammich (turkey with veggie cheese spread, tomatoes & cucumbers) from one of my favorite places (Goodies), and read my book at the picnic table for my lunch break! It was warm & breezy, but comfortable in the shade. I’m about halfway through this book, and it’s so good! I’ll post about it more when I finish.

Spaghetti Supper
For lunch today, I went with some work friends to Canopy Road Cafe. Yum! Their food is always delicious, and they did not disappoint today. It was the first time Tammy & Heather had been there, and they both really liked it. We all left stuffed to the gills. I couldn’t even finish my whole meal! …
Exciting Wednesday
On our little family trip to Trader Joe’s last Friday night, I picked up a jar of their “Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning,” because I’ve heard so so many good things about it. I’ve been trying it out on random things since then (buttered toast, scrambled eggs, egg-in-the-hole, potatoes) but this morning, I tried it on the most-suggested option: avocado toast. And it was delicious!! (I’m now out of avocado & bread, but will definitely stock up again over the weekend.)

Starting A New Book
So y’all know how much I LOVE reading, right?! Even with a little baby around now, I try to sneak in as much reading time as possible when I’m not with her. And y’all I’m like, absurdly excited for this new book I’m reading now! I checked it out from the library a while ago, but just got around to starting it yesterday. I’m about 100 pages in so far (out of 369), and it’s just so good already. It’s called The Darkling Bride, and it’s brand new. Literally, it just came out in April.

Mermaid at Heart
Today was just one of those “regular” days, where nothing really special or out of the ordinary happens. It wasn’t a bad day, but it was just ya know, regular. So I don’t have much to report today. But because I did so well blogging every day since I started daily journals on May 1st, I couldn’t just skip today!

Jammies, VBS & Newk’s
Look at this sweet, precious baby, with her cute little morning hair floof!! These jammies & Ellie were her Christmas gift from Aunt Megan & Uncle Bo, and she wore them for the first time last night! I don’t mind so much getting up early, when I get to play with & love on my sweet Emerson!

Pebble Hill Wedding
All morning and afternoon, we got to be at home, spending quality time with our baby girl. Luckily, we’ve kept the house clean all week after working so hard last weekend, so we didng even have a bunch of chores to do. So we just got to hang out and play with baby Emerson!

Friday Night Family Fun
We went on a little family adventure tonight to McAlister’s for dinner, and Trader Joe’s for some random groceries. As she gets older, it’s becoming more fun to do even these regular things together, as a little family of three. Emerson always smiles at strangers and makes friends with everyone, and I feel so proud when people just gush over her!

Caprese & Casserole
Ok first of all, it’s caprese salad season again! It’s a super simple “recipe” of grape tomatoes (which I always halve), mozzarella cheese balls, fresh basil (my fave!), balsamic vinegar and S&P, and I’m obsessed with this stuff in the summertime! I made some last night, and when I was doing a quick quality control taste test, I had to force myself not to just eat the whole thing! But I took it to work to have for lunch, along with a salad, and a leftover piece of pizza. Sooo good! I once again had to force myself to stop eating it, so I could save half for tomorrow.

Shutterfly Surprise
A month or so ago, I got a Shutterfly discount code in my email for the exact thing I needed to create. Today, I finally made & ordered it! It’s super cute, and I can’t wait to hold the real thing once it comes in. But it’s a surprise! I want to wait to share until it’s been given to the appropriate recipient/s, so I probably won’t share here on the blog for another week and a half or so. But I will eventually share! I’m just so excited about it! (I also took the most adorable photos of Emerson this morning before school for the project, but I’m gonna keep those secret to share later too.)

Indian Lunch Buffet
I have been craving Indian food lately, and so today I got me hubby to take me out on a lunch date. He picked me up from my office, and we went to Essence of India, which is right behind Olive Garden for those who might be wondering. I’ve only tried two or three Indian places in town, but this one is my favorite. They have a weekday lunch buffet, and it’s all so delicious!

Rainy Memorial Day
Most people usually spend Memorial Day Weekend outside as much as possible – at the lake, in the backyard, in the pool, at the beach… And then there’s typically a big grill out with burgers, hot dogs, ribs & watermelon. But Florida wasn’t having any of that this year! It’s been raining for pretty much three days straight at this point, so we’ve been doing pretty much the opposite of the rest of the country. We’ve been “hunkered down” in this “sub tropical storm!” (P.S. – It drives me crazy how much the phrase “hunker down” is repeated during hurricane season.)

Dinner Party Hosts
Its been a while since we’ve hosted anything at our house (since the tea party in February probably), and so I randomly decided I wanted to invite my parents & Grandmommie over for dinner tonight. I made this Pioneer Woman recipe for steak sandwiches, baked waffle fries & made a big salad in my giant bowl. And we used my new bowls I thrifted yesterday, and they were great! We also cut those beautiful hydrangeas from our backyard!

Productive
Phew, today has been exhausting! But good! But productive! But tiring for sure. Remember last night I said I was making a to-do list for this weekend? Well I worked HARD on it today. I got about half of the things crossed off, and man it wore me out.

Photo Friday
Some days I only snap a couple photos of Emerson and nothing else. But other days, I take like 50 photos in one day! Today was one of the latter. So we’ll recap the day, with just some of them…

Flooding Rain
Today was one of those rare days that Jeff & I drove separately, because he had some side IT work to do for a friend. So after work I was by myself, driving to pickup Emerson from daycare, and the bottom dropped out of the sky & it started flooding rain! I’m talking cats & dogs people. Luckily I was able to get one of the covered pickup spots at school, & quickly ran in to grab the baby girl. Our usual route home is a quick 4 miles on the interstate, then just a few more minutes of weaving through town. But I have serious anxiety about interstate driving in the rain. In fact, I avoid it whenever possible, especially these days with my very precious cargo. So instead, I called my mama (who lives close to daycare) and invited myself on over to their house. She didn’t mind of course!

Emerson’s First Tooth!
Emerson finally has her first tooth! It took her 10 months, but the first one finally cut through. It actually popped out overnight last Sunday night. On Mother’s Day, she had zero teeth. Then the next morning, that bad boy was white & shining us in the face! So even though it happened over a week ago, I wasn’t able to get a good photo (or any photo at all really) until today finally. Check out that little tooth, and these silly faces she’s making!
