Friday Favorites: 04/08/22
Happy Friday friends, and welcome back to the Friday Favorites segment! It has been several weeks since the last blog post. I was visiting my family Amelia Island, Florida for a while, and then I was feeling sick for about two weeks. We also started market back last weekend for the coffee cart, and so it has been a whirlwind! My first focus is always the coffee cart, so the blog had to be put on the back burner. I have also just been feeling off since I first got sick. I have been struggling with motivation for things as of late, so I am trying to prioritize rest and…
Friday Favorites: 03/18/2022
We are starting a new segment on the blog this week called, Friday Favorites! I’m going to be looking back on my week and sharing my favorite items, recipes, podcasts, people, books, etc. It is going to be a great way to share and recap my weeks, while also sharing all the things I’m loving currently. Also hoping this will help keep me accountable on getting out more blog posts each week! I hope you all have had a lovely week! It was honestly a very chill week in the Lovett household, and my goal this week was to truly embrace it. We catered a wedding late Saturday for the…
Visiting The Wizarding World of Harry Potter for the First Time
Despite my countless number of trips to Orlando, my first trip ever to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was this past December! It has easily been 10+ years since I had set foot in Universal so I felt like a beginner tourist during all the planning. After hitting a Harry Potter phase right at the start of the pandemic (as in reading through the books for the first time since I was in elementary school), I was especially looking forward to visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter for the first time. I will be sharing all of my tips, lessons learned, and overall thoughts and opinions on the…
Race Recap: Publix Atlanta Half Marathon 2022
Friends, I ran another race! This was only a half-marathon, but it was truly a feat in itself. Take cooler temperatures, an already hilly course, never-ending rainfall, and 13.1 miles and let’s just say the Publix Atlanta Half Marathon was the hardest race I have ever ran. Let me start by saying, I feel like this was my first big girl race! We started by attending the Publix Atlanta Marathon Weekend Expo this past Saturday (February 26th), and it was so much fun. They held it at the Georgia Aquarium, which was a first for this race. While you were in a separate ballroom to the side of the aquarium…

“dreams are the language of heaven”
“Dreams are the language of Heaven.” – a quote from our pastor at the 1 year anniversary of our church The entire sermon was on dreaming, and specifically the idea of finding a God-dream for your life and working towards it. I don’t really know why I found this true, but for a while I often struggled with relating dreaming and dreams to my faith (mostly throughout high school and college). Not that they were ever truly detached from each other, but I think it is a concept not really talked about or really discussed in the church. Disney encouraged me to go after my dreams, but sometimes at church…
Running My First Marathon
On October 8, 2021, I finally ran my first marathon. It still doesn’t feel real, mostly because it was an entirely virtual race, meaning there was no finish line or cheering crowds. It also was easily the most difficult run of my life. While the finish line was virtual, the miles to get there were not any less real. Running usually comes easy to me, which made the training for this first marathon both easier and harder. I signed up for the race originally in the spring of this year, but after an insanely busy spring and summer, I did not end up starting my training till July. In July…
Autumn Bucket List
As we fully enter into October, I wanted to share with you all my autumn bucket list! I find myself wanting to be more intentional with how I spend my days and time, and I believe bucket lists are a great way to do that. People often use the phrase “romanticizing their life” to describe making simple, ordinary moments of their life into beautiful experiences. I want this bucket list to help me romanticize this autumn season and to live it to the fullest! bake pumpkin chocolate chip bread/muffins It would not be a real fall without some baking and all things pumpkin. I love pumpkin because while some…
and just like that summer collapsed into fall….
The first day of September. Crisp mornings as the sun begins to rise. Excitement and anticipation as football season begins. The feeling of drinking your first pumpkin cream cold brew of the season. Long conversations over hot coffee. The last warm sunny days before the rain and wind come. The feeling of fall in the air. Growing up, fall was never a favorite time of year for me. With the start of school, busyness and chaos surrounded me this time of year. I never knew what it meant to anticipate fall. The crunching leaves. The changing colors. The feeling of joy in the air. There was always some excitement in…
