Hi friends! How do I even BEGIN to convey to y’all how ridiculously excited I am to launch this new blog?! It’s been a long time coming and it just feels darn tootin’ good to have it live now! So, what has changed and why the change you ask? Well, I started The Married Appetite (TMA) along with my husband to capture our appetite for

I’m in love with playsuits y’all! Otherwise known as rompers, I think these cuties should be every gal’s summer staple, especially with all the super cute options out there now. I wasn’t too sure if I would like the way they looked once on when I first saw them, so I opted for two cheaper options to start out. The first was a full length

We rounded out our trip to Boston with a day filled of my favorite people and some of the best local grub a gal could ever hope for – see our first day of fun here and the Cape wedding we also attended that weekend here. The highlight for me had to be noshing on our second dose of “lobstah” that weekend at Sam’s family

We had so much fun traveling in the month of June that I’m still trying to catch up on uploading pics and details! The beginning of the month started out on the Cape for only the most gorgeous New England wedding ever (see the full recap here) where we also squeezed in some time for visits, sightseeing, eating and shopping in Boston for a few

We’ve been quite the little travelers lately y’all! This month we’ve had or have trips to Boston, Cape Cod, the Eastern Shore of VA, Charleston and Garden City, SC all planned, phew! Two weekends ago we headed up to Cape Cod to celebrate the marriage of two of our closest RVA friends, Paul and Jess. We also got in some quality time with one of my

We have friends that make date night a high priority once a week with their significant other, whether its Taco Tuesday, Monday Sushi or even Sunday Brunch. This is one commitment that I can get on board with! So we’ve been trying to get better about a dedicated weekly time for just us. Recently, Ryan surprised me with a pretty fancy spread of my favorite Fresh Market goodies

This past weekend was full of celebrations and we were so excited that one of them was our Housewarming party! After about six months of full-time living and fixing up of our house, we felt we were finally ready to officially share it with all of our friends. I’m convinced every new home owner should have a housewarming party because it was the best motivator to get us

Getting your home party-ready is a weeeeeee bit stressful isn’t it!? We’re throwing a housewarming party (only 6 months after moving in, no big deal) this weekend and I’ve had to keep reminding myself the oh so overused  well-known saying “Keep Calm and Carry On”. For this very reason it may be like crickets around this here blog, so I do apologize y’all, but I promise to share the outcome!

Our time in Florida this past weekend was SO chock-full of fun that I decided to share it in two parts. See part I here! Catching up where I left off, Saturday was the big day! My Goddaughter Grace received her First Communion and my heart was so full of joy, love and pride for this sweet little girl! (Side bar – remember the Lilly dress I wore Friday

This past weekend was a busy one y’all, phew! So busy in fact, that I’m going to double the posts and bring you a part I and part II! We went from Virginia to Florida and back to Virginia in three short days, but in that small window of time we managed to see family, celebrate my Goddaughter’s First Communion, Ry’s Birthday and Mothers Day!
