About

Welcome!

My name is April and I'm from North Carolina.  In 2009 I moved to South Carolina for an internship and my first "big girl" job.  I started blogging because I had a lot of free time while I was getting acquainted with my new area.  At first, I read fashion and beauty blogs, but now lifestyle and fitness bloggers fill my blogroll.

I'm a graduate of East Carolina University....Go Pirates!  My degree is in nutrition and dietetics. I am a member of Kappa Delta sorority.

I married an amazing man on March 23, 2013, on this blog his name is "R" but I call him Hamp in real life.  We live in the Raleigh area.  My husband loves to play golf and go fishing on the weekends.  He is a total Grill Master and Beer Aficionado.  I love to decorate our home, read, and go running in the evenings.  Cooking and baking are more than hobbies to me and it's something we enjoy doing together.  Also, I'm addicted to monograms.

Our sweet lab/shepherd pup, named Baby, became an angel in 2014.  We will love her always.  We also have a sweet kitty named Lilly Mae that I have had since college.

Recently we rescued a bluetick coonhound named Lady Belle.  She may be a hunting breed, but these days she mostly excels at hunting lizards and chicken nuggets.

We welcomed our daughter, Ava Rose, on April 1, 2015.  She is our greatest joy!
