GO!! STATE??

So we're going to our first football game of the season tomorrow. If you don't know, I'm a UNC girl all the way (my childhood team, alma mater, and current employer), but alas, our little Aiden has become an N.C. State Wolfpack fan, so this one's for him. I'm not one to trash our competitors (except Duke, puke), but I'll always root for State if Carolina's not playing. Either way, Aiden will be happy when he finds out we bought tickets. It's going to be beautiful out in the mid-60s tomorrow, plus we've got some friends tailgating before the game, so I'm looking forward to an ideal football weekend. GO PACK! (Not.)

Fall Floral

While shopping at Harris Teeter the other day, I had to pick up some of the fall-colored floral bouquets they finally had in stock. "The Teet" has great 3/$12 deals for mix-and-match bouquets; so, red, orange, and yellow it was! I love walking in and out of the house with these greeting me each way. First day of October tomorrow!

What Makes a Good Husband?

Just steam and serve with warm melted butter. Brilliant!

The Head and the Heart

About a month ago I was introduced to the band The Head and the Heart, courtesy of my lovely friend Lauren (aka, my musical soulmate). And I fell in love. Coincidentally, the band was scheduled to play at Raleigh's Lincoln Theatre last week, so cha-ching! Two tickets were bought. An indie folk-pop band from Seattle, the Head and the Heart have a unique Americana-ish sound full of vocal harmonies and intoxicating melodies. I feel so lucky to have discovered them in the nick of time so that I could witness them live; it really was an amazing performance and one that hit you right at the core. These are talented musicians, passionate about music and passionate about life. Check out a few of their videos below, and maybe you'll be attending a show next time they're in your town. :)

Mmm...Warmth

Somebody enjoyed mommy's heating pad the other night.
