Widely regarded as one of the hottest spots in town, it’s hard to believe that Supperland has only been open for about a year. Supperland is not the kind of place you go for a recurring weekly dinner (at least, that’s not the case for most people in our socioeconomic bracket) – it’s the place …
Featuring some of my favorite items thrifted right here in Charlotte
Can I tell you something? I kind of love talking about money. Not in the sense of investments or stocks, but how we use it every day. It’s taboo, I know—but spending money is something we all do. And I think the world would be a better place if there was a little more open …
2023 Update: Bardo is now closed and the space is now Blue Door, a cocktail lounge from the owners of Trio Nightclub. Bardo is a restaurant that has been on my radar since Michael and I first moved to Charlotte at the end of 2019; I can say we quite literally stumbled across it thanks …
Happy Small Business Saturday! In honor of the day, I thought I’d share a roundup of gift ideas from right here at home in North Carolina. We’re pretty spoiled here in The Old North State, as there are so many amazing local makers right in this pocket of the country. This post may contain commissionable …

There are very few truly public gathering places left. Sure, there are ever-shrinking public parks, gardens, and libraries, but beyond that? There’s little else. In Charlotte, breweries step in to fill the void; despite being private businesses, they act as a meeting place for people from all walks of life. Even though there are waves …
Happy October! We’re still a few weeks away from peak fall foliage, but there are signs of autumn’s arrival everywhere. Apple farms are open for picking, boots and wool capes abound, and there’s something distinctly different in the air (is that cinnamon?). Last year Michael and I did All The Fall Things and I think …
Hey, hi, hello! I’m so glad you’re still here (and if we’re being honest, I’m so glad I’m still here too!). The weather is just incredibly beautiful for this first week of fall, and I’m feeling extra happy we decided to move to Charlotte. Right now my days allow for meandering walks, and I love …
