August In Review

Happy Monday Tuesday!  I love long weekends so much for the short weeks that supersede them.  It's been another awesome month, and I refuse to believe that summer is unofficially over.

Northeast trip (that I've already posted about ad nauseam), but in case you missed any of our adventures, here are the links to my posts: trip update, Rhode Island summer food, and Northeast breweries.

While in Charleston, there were lots of favorite restaurant visits: Goat. Sheep. Cow., Taco Boy (omg that letter board below - hahaha), BkedShop, and Vintage Coffee - my favorite acai bowl in town!

Unfortunately, we had a death in the family last month.  Our betta, Charlie passed away.  He jumped out of the tank when we weren't home.  Apparently it's a thing - anyone else have a betta do that?!  Well, we got a new fishy, Delta, and I made sure not to fill the water up nearly as high in our tank as I had been!  Photos of Delta coming soon!

I cannot wait for the NFL to start this week!  So far, I'm through 2 of my 4 drafts with another tonight and the last one tomorrow night.  Last week, we hosted one of the drafts at our house with an ah-mazing (if I do say so myself) cheese board with items from Trader Joe's.  If you want to see the method to my madness when it comes to TJ's cheese & charcuterie, click here for my favorite products!

And to finish out the month this weekend, we celebrated my sweet friend, Hillary's birthday on Friday night.  How pretty does that cake from Wild Flour Pastry look?!  It was just as delicious as you'd imagine!
