Baller

Iโ€™m officially sick of every song on my phone.

The Bird House

When we were feeling domestic the other day, the Pilot picked up a hummingbird feeder, since we had quite a few different bird feeders in Valdosta. Itโ€™s been really successful.

Warm up to the main event

When a baby started growing in my belly, my brain disappeared to make room. I locked us all out of the house this morning. Thatโ€™s a half-smile. I felt horrible ๐Ÿ™ I always check the bottom handle of the door to make sure it isnโ€™t locked, and today was the one time I didnโ€™t. Thank…

Homemade Strawberry Sports Drink

Enjoy this homemade strawberry sports drink to hydrate before or after a workout. At a bar in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, they have the best infusionsโ€ฆfresh fruit soaking in vodka, which tastes dangerously like candy. Thatโ€™s all I can remember to tell you about those drinks. This strawberry infusion is a little bit healthier, and will help…
