The 5 American Things We’re Adjusting To

We have officially been back in the US for one month. Prior to this, we were living in London for the past 14 months (read about it here, here, and here). I actually hadn’t been on US soil since January 2019, crazy to think I spent 5 months away from America. I naively thought that since we were moving back to our house (we kept

I always like to end the year with a recap of all that happened during the year, but I’m not going to lie, thinking of 2016 and putting it all into one post seems overwhelming. So. Much. Happened! I’m going to give it my best shot though, plus I’m including my favorite blog posts for the month. Here we go! We kicked off 2016 in

Unique Rehearsal Venue in Charleston, SC

Howdy readers and happy Friday-eve! I’ve had quite a back log of things to share lately and have been so antsy to bring you today’s post. We had the honor of celebrating our dear friend’s rehearsal dinner at the Cooper River Room at the Mt. Pleasant Visitor Center in Charleston, SC. I thought this was such a unique rehearsal venue as it is kind of

  • RV-HEYYYYYY 😊 So good to be back in Richmond. We popped in to some spots in our old neighborhood and I found THE best Christmas snack πŸ‘‰πŸ» swipe! πŸŽ„ @tasteunlimited was so cute and so full of goodies!
  • Charleston is looking quite festive! πŸŽ„ I had a couple meetings downtown today and couldn’t help but snap a few photos of our gorgeous hometown. Who else just adores Charleston? Tell me your Charleston story... did you get engaged here, married here, come for vacation, move recently? πŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌ
  • What is it about a Christmas pageant that just warms a Mamas heart?! πŸŽ„ #SullyLou knew every word to all the songs (English, French, and Spanish!), sang them enthusiastically, remembered the moves, and just beamed with joy from the stage. I’m so proud of her 😭. How is she becoming such a big girl so fast?! Speaking of big, she was the only girl on the back pew because she’s so tall. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ I love you my Sully girl. I am so so so incredibly proud of you my mooks.
  • Run like the wind bullseye! Not the most IG worthy picture, although that is Kensington Palace in the background, hey Kate! πŸ‘‹πŸ» But I'm doing it y'all. Registered for the @cooperriverbridgerun which is arguably Charleston's biggest race of the year. Have I ever run a 10k? Nope. Have I ever run a 5k? Yes, and it was six years ago. 🀣Watch me work... πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ
  • Throwback to one of the most Christmas-y places in London! Tonight we enjoyed our own little slice of Christmas with the Mount Pleasant parade (see Stories!) πŸŽ„πŸŽ… β˜ƒοΈ We may not be spending our December abroad or in Hawaii this year, but gosh it sure does feel good to be home sweet home in Charleston!
  • Do you go to THERAPY? Why is that word so scary? 🚨 Why do we feel shame in saying we go? πŸ‘‰πŸ» Tonight in my Stories a bunch of strangers across the internet grouped together to share therapists they recommend in cities across the US and even in London. I feel like knowing who to go to is one of the hardest first steps, hopefully, we've helped you with that. πŸ’— πŸ‘‡πŸ» Feel free to comment below, if you're comfortable, with any other therapist recommendations you'd like to share or tell us about your therapy experience!

Ok so why the photo of me in the Sahara Desert for a 5am camel ride sunrise? πŸͺ Well, soon after this photo was taken, I walked into a therapist's office in London. Why? Secondary infertility. I wrote about this on the blog (link in profile), but I felt so, so broken y'all. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
All the travel we were doing was reminding me of all the joy, joy, joy down in my heart πŸ˜‰ and I realized how this feeling of brokenness was dragging me down. And I didn't want it to turn into something bad. So off I went. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Over a year later and I've found my gal here in Charleston and I still go every month. πŸ‘πŸ» Even though I don't feel broken any longer. In fact, I feel optimistic and hopeful for our future adopted child. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘§ It's just good to talk it out y'all. To talk out everything occupying your brain space and keeping you up at night here or there. Not only that, but therapists have TOOLS. They're so equipped to teach you #allthethings you never even knew you needed to know!

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
As we go into the holidays πŸŽ„ which admit it you guys, we put so much pressure and tie so much meaning to.... I want you to consider therapy. A lot of insurance providers will help you cover the cost. It doesn't hurt to book an appointment and see if it's for you. And you might have to shop around for the right fit, but you'll find it. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
At the end of the day, I believe that if we're all more mentally stable humans, we'll all contribute to a better, kinder world. 🌎
  • One thing I never got tired of during 14 weeks of guests visiting us in London (and most all of them staying with us in our 500 sq ft flat with 1 bathroom 😬)... was the afternoon tea!!! β˜•οΈ Gah I just loved it. All my fancy tea party dreams from my childhood got to come true over and over! β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Don’t miss it when you visit the UK! πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ This was one of my favorites and top recommendations, The Park Room at @grosvenorhouselondon. Check on @opentable for the special reservation where a glass of bubbly πŸ₯‚ is included with your tea! β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
PS: Hit that little bookmark to save this post for later so you remember where to go when visiting London! πŸ’‚πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ
  • Entrepreneur-ing and mom-ing like a boss this week y'all. I'll explain more soon. πŸ˜‰ Have you gotten your ticket yet to my business @pinckneypalm's Master Your Social? 🎟 Seriously, get on it, I think I'm only going to sell 5️⃣ more seats and then close the program. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
If you're not in the know, MYS is my 6-week online social media coaching program, No, this is NOT an e-course or webinar. πŸ™…πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ This is me actually live teaching you a new topic each week, giving you the steps and resources to implement what we talk about, and then holding you accountable. Not to mention, throwing some epic online dance parties πŸ’ƒπŸΌπŸ’ƒπŸΌ and having you join in community with other entrepreneurs. We start January 21st... wouldn't it be awesome to go into 2020 with a social media strategy and knowledge of all the tips and tricks?!
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

  • Snapped in my element. Hunting for gems in the flea markets abroad. 🌏 The first deals I looked for on Cyber Monday? Flight deals! Go search @skyscanner, I even found NYC to London for less than $300 a person. Considering we have a baby on the way and no earthly idea when that baby gets here I didn't hit purchase but dang I wanted to. Y'all do it for me! ✈️

Psst... there may or may be a small batch of goodies coming to @theshopabroad just in time for you to snag Christmas gifts that are one of a kind (this time from German Christmas markets) πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺπŸŽ„πŸŽ
