My Faves

I’ve been meaning to do this for quite some time now, but there are several favorite blogs (and bloggers) I have found and I wanted to share them with you because I think YOU will like them too!

Leigh Pennebaker with Marvelous Kiddo

Leigh is what I call a super mom. She lives with her kiddos in New York city and is ridiculously talented. I love learning stuff about homebirths (a subject she is passionate about) and baby wearing from her. Her sense of style is also fabulously delicious! Please check her out! She is quite the sensation in the blog community!

Laura Dearman with Our Messy Messy Life

Laura is actually a friend of mine! I have been super impressed watching her grow her little family (the cutest kids in the world!) and she also is one of my main role-models for mother-hood (should that blissful day ever arrive for me). She is passionate about her kids, home births, and an expert on getting the most bang for your buck! She and her husband are incredible parents! Check her out!

Rachel Busler-Misenar with Little Sparrow

Rachel is one of my very best friends. And I feel exceptionally lucky to have her in my life. She is an amazing mama, wife, and very talented artist! She is my running buddy and playmate! She is the epitome of loving with no reserve. Her kind, compassionate, and giving nature shine through her! Check out her blog! She is full of wisdom and grace.

Catherine Moore with Constant in Chaos

Cathy has been my best friend since I was 5 years old. She is as much family as my own blood. We have been there for eachother for every major (and minor) milestone in life. I have watched her blossom into an amazing wife and mother. She is very passionate about motherhood and Christianity. Her walk with God is something to be admired and her quest for living a purpose-filled life shines through her blog. She is also exceptionally talented! She is an amazing photographer, organizer, and designer! Check out her blog here! And her other blog here!

Joy Henson with Confessions of a Southern Socialite

Joy is a friend of mine from Meridian. She is incredibly delightful and her blogs are very educational and informative yet playful and fun. She is a master chef, creative writer, and all-in-all just a wonderful person to know. I love her blog! Check it out!

Bernadette Birney with Bernie Birney: It’s About Yoga

This is my favorite blog dealing with yoga. Bernadette has had the good fortune of studying with the great ones: she’s a certified Anusara yoga instructor, and has long pestered her Rajanaka Yoga mentor, Douglas Brooks. Known for her poetic and precise articulation, she insists that you can maintain a hard-core yoga practice and a sense of humor, too. Her classes, immersions and trainings are steeped in a life affirming philosophy that will invite you into the exploration of your own potential.

Bernadette was one of the earliest Certified Anusara Yoga instructors in CT, and continues to mentor the local teaching community, leading trainings and retreats. She has contributed to Yoga Journal, Fit Yoga, Elephant Journal and Srividyalaya Amrta. She is also a lululemon ambassador, and the author of the quirky, award-winning blog! Please check her out!

Check out these bloggers! You won’t be disappointed, I promise;)

Break Part 1

 My first week and a half of freedom has been…..

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

I can sum up my break in 4 letters…

L-A-Z-Y

Yep. I’ve been one lazy bum.

All I’ve done is

Eat,

Sleep,

And poo

Not necessarily in that order but I’ve noticed that I generally wake up around 10:30 and go to bed around 2 or 3am. NICE, huh? Well, maybe for now it is;)

I’ve been doing a LOT of hanging with my friends. Something I don’t get to do as often as I’d like during the school year.

Here are some pics from the last week and a half. Starting with my time spent in Meridian….I made it home in time for Mother's Day and The second anniversary of Leslie's Dance Studio, Elegance.

Clint and I enjoyed Sno Biz .The first time we’d had one in years.

This is my favorite spot at my Parents-- Their screened in porch. I spent many a morning out here with my nephew and my mom.

 Speaking of my nephew......I couldn't get enough of him! He has the best nature and sweetest spirit. I can not wait to get back to him this coming week!

My awesome parents bought me a bike so I can bike to school! I love her! Her name is Barbara. I’m excited about spending a lot of time with her!

and then of course I mentioned that I’m getting to hang with my friends…..here are some pics with some of my faves

Today I ate brunch at the new Table 100 out in Flowood. It was okay. I wasn't crazy about the menu. The service was good. Overall it wasn't bad...it just wasn't overly good. But of course, I'm sure at dinner it's a whole different ball-game.
I also ventured out to Figment. It was cool. Not as cool as I thought it would be but it was still neat to see something like this done in Jackson. 
But I really enjoyed the company I was in all day. 

So, I'm enjoying this little break from most responsibilities as you can surely tell;)


2 more weeks left! 


I hope all of you are enjoying this beautiful month full of good weather, festivities, and friends galore! 

“ Carpe diem! Rejoice while you are alive; enjoy

the day; live life to the fullest; make the most of what you have. It is later than you think.” ~Horace

Fini part deux

Fini part deux

Somehow I made it. I finished my very last prerequisite for OT school yesterday at 9:30am. And I am VERY happy to announce that I pulled off a B in Physics!!!  I don’t know how that happened but I’ll take it!

And then my 3 week-break commenced.

I got my hair did by the lovely Kate McNeely. Just a little trim and a few highlights for the start of summer.

I ate powdered donuts to celebrate.

And then I ate cupcakes.

And then I got to eat at Spice Ave with some of my very favorite ladies.

And then I think I even ate a few more cupcakes;)

I am looking forward to spending these next three weeks visiting family and friends, being pool side as often as possible, doing lots of yoga, going to lots of meetings, cleaning out my closet, and just relaxing and taking it pretty easy.

Infact, in a few short hours I will be on my way to Meridian to be with my mom for Mother’s Day.

What a beautiful Saturday it is! I hope everyone is enjoying it to the fullest—sharing it with loved ones and being in nature as much as possible.

Happy May, Bloggers! 

Events by Pictures!

Lest I forget, last week held few events that I documented and wanted to share.

My sister’s 22^nd Birthday!

 We enjoyed lunch at the Deli on 5th.

Relay for Life (Jackson)

Our sweet little team did a wonderful job raising money and relaying! Our team name was “Captain Planet and The Planeteers”. I can not begin to tell you how honored I was to be apart of something this awesome. It was amazing to see people come together in the name of power and healing and I encourage you to get involved with your local Relay for Life! I look forward to doing it again next year!

Throwback to the Nanney Family!

Old pictures I found while getting my physical in my Dad’s office;)

 Family Portrait circa 1993??

My first marathon! Blue Angels--Pensacola, FL 2000
