Monthly Archives: June 2011The overripe bananas on the kitchen counter and a-bit-too-tart-to-eat-straight-up blueberries in the fridge were calling my name today, so I found a recipe online for blueberry banana muffins to give them some justice. (Thanks for the inspiration, Jess!) Gabrielle was playing quietly and reading books just off our kitchen area, so I began to retrieve… You are such a wonderful mama! The photos are amazing as usual. LOVE how her shirt reflects the color scheme of the muffins your made. looks so yummy! I love cooking with kiddos…makes it much more fun!! this is just simply precious! Aren’t kids great? so sweet jess! love this and the fun times you two have ahead. Charlotte has a great regional farmer's market. Jeffrey, Gabrielle, and I took an outing there last weekend in search of fresh produce. We came home with spinach. (Which I've been loving in breakfast egg white scrambles with cherry tomatoes and red bell peppers.) Beautiful peaches. I was so happy to get home with all the… Glad you have found a fave! Yah’s best is at the Charlotte Farmer’s Market on Saturdays each week with yummy fresh salsa! We love to hear what our customers have to say! Happy 4th to you and your family! I love chopped salad so much. And that salsa looks delish. I'm a little bummed to be leaving summer camp (Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizon) today. It has been such an amazing, inspiring, spiritually re-energizing visit. A chance to learn and reflect. I drank a TON of water. And ate healthy, simple, well proportioned food. It's incredible how wonderful your body can feel just based on… Looks like heaven Love your trip chronology… beautiful dose of Zen for a day in NYC… that was a relaxing post i think I got a little relaxation out of reading it. I have heard this was a great place to relax your mind I might need to put it on my list. One of my most relaxing vacations ever. I loved the food, the massages, and the classes. I giggle every time I think about all the “fiber farting” that was going on in the classes and how the instructors would be proud if you passed gassed. My Aunt goes there every year and raves about it…she keeps asking me to go with her. I think it looks divine!! I LOVE when my mom and dad travel to Charlotte to visit us. And their recent visit was an extra special one because there were several must-visit places I wanted to take them. The places were special because they remind me of my parents and they're places I go in Charlotte to find peace, nature,… I love Charlotte….Always wanted to live there! Your pictures are very beautiful The garden looks beautiful…and it looks like your daughter had fun exploring! Oh my gosh! Your parents are two of the SWEETEST people I have ever met. These are ALL precious, but my fave is of the one of G running…what a great shot! love these photos jessica!….whata wonderful place and I can’t wait to visit…I bet your parents are some pretty super people, the capture of them with gabrielle is just lovely You always inspire to take the time to go to these lovely little places in Charlotte! Thank you! Aw, I miss Wing Haven…it was a few streets away when I lived there. Great place! beautiful. I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I just love your eye for detail, for beauty and the care you take in appreciating and documenting life. inspiring. In my efforts to refine my getting ready and going to bed routine (after achieving simplification with makeup), I've narrowed my favorite products/necessary prescriptions down to this: Clindamycin pledgets. Love these medicated wipes as a quick step after washing my face to remove any remaining residue from skin. I've been using these for years. Latisse…. I am also using dermalogica daily microfoliant too. Bought this after a facial and I love it! Leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh, doesn’t casue dryness or breakouts. Yes its expensive but you can definitely make it last! I am also using dermalogica daily microfoliant too. Bought this after a facial and I love it!

Recently went to my dermatologist looking for an age defying daily cream (thinking I’d be in for a hefty price tag) and they told me the best thing out there for 30 somethings is CeraVeAM Go Jess go! Thanks for sharing your routine! Glad to hear your thoughts on the CeraVe products. I have been using the cream on my daughter’s skin to help keep her eczema in check but never really thought to try it out myself! |
