Europe: Your Guide

April 26, 2011 by Julie 161 Comments

Good afternoon! Let’s do lunch, shall we? Do you see what I see? Vegetables! Woo! I’m not gonna lie, it feels a little weird to be eating healthy food and not downing casseroles, souffles, fried pickles and Easter candy. But it feels kind of great, too.

Two Rounds of Easter

April 25, 2011 by Julie 90 Comments

Easter 2011 006

Yesterday was such a fun day! As you can tell from my breakfast post, it was filled with sugar… but it was also filled with family, friends and tons and tons of FOOD. Ryan and I spent the majority of Easter Sunday at his mom’s house, indulging in delicious food and catching up with family…
