    What to Do and Where to Eat in Beaufort, NC

    Hi, friends! A couple of weekends ago, Alex and I had a short trip to Beaufort, NC (pronounced “bow-fort”; not to be confused with Beaufort, SC, which is pronounced “b-yew-fort”). It was my first time going to the beach in years, and Beaufort was just lovely. Named “American’s Favorite Town,” Beaufort has both small town charm and rich history, not to mention the waterfront views and amazing food! If you are considering a low-key weekend getaway, I definitely recommend heading out to the coast! In today’s post, I am sharing everything we did and ate.

    S’mores Dessert Board

    Hi, friends! Another Sunday, another board post from me haha. I hope you’re excited to read this though since I haven’t done a post on a dessert board. I mentioned in my last Monthly Mumbles that we had a Smore’s night recently with our Solo Stove. You know I had to be extra and make a s’mores board haha. One night, I was searching the Internet and went down a rabbit hole of different s’mores combinations! I tried some new combos that were *chef’s kiss* and I am excited to tell you all about it.

    Elevated Cheese Board with Midtown Olive Oil

    Hi, friends! Last year, I visited Midtown Olive Oil and used one of their olive oils to make an olive oil cake for the first time. Since then, Alex and I have become repeat customers and have been using their olive oils and balsamic vinegars at least weekly! I recently went back and picked up a bunch of their new products that are perfect for a cheese or charcuterie board.

    What I Read in February 2021

    Hi, friends! I don’t know about you but I don’t read quite as much when I have a TV show I am watching. Recently, we have been watching The Sopranos (on HBO) most evenings, but somehow I managed to read six books in a short month! I read some GREAT books in February and am excited to share my thoughts with you.

    Monthly Mumbles #2

    Hi, friends! After approximately half a year, I am (re-) introducing Monthly Mumbles! I want to share more personal and random things on the blog this year so I plan to write these (hopefully) monthly posts to talk about my favorite things and highlights one each month. We’ll see if I stick with it.
