One really nice thing about living in Charlotte is that once or twice a week, we get to hang out with Rob's parents. It definitely makes North Carolina feel a bit more like home. Last night, we headed over to my in-laws' house with some snacks (Food Should Taste Good provided me with some of their awesome chips) and had a little appetizer party!

I brought the chips (sweet potato, blue corn, and multigrain), some salsa and garlic dip, pepperoni, manchego cheese, fruit salad, and a bottle of wine. We sat around the table, catching up and enjoying a little indoor picnic. Even Daisy the dog had a bite.

Now that the weather is finally getting cooler in Charlotte, I'm finding myself wanting that always-comforting afternoon cup of coffee more and more. You know the one--it's usually paired with another chapter of whatever book you're reading or, if you're me right now, an embarrassing number of episodes of Gilmore Girls on Netflix.

Yesterday, Rob was able to work from home so we sat on the couch in the afternoon and drank coffee together. It was so nice, with the window to the deck open; just spending time together on a Monday. Those little moments tend to be my favorite.

Recently Lavazza sent me some more coffee, as well as a bottle of caramel syrup and a milk frother! I would love to be able to tell you that I resisted the caramel, but let's face it--does anyone not like caramel? I rarely ever sweeten my coffee, so it was a nice treat yesterday. I do regularly heat up some almond milk and froth it to make luxurious, homemade cafe au laits, which I totally love.

What's your favorite way to have coffee?

I don't know about you, but for me, half the fun of sharing photos on social media is in going back, months later, and reminiscing about that hike, meal, wedding, cup of coffee, or whatever it was that made you stop and snap a photo in the first place. So I scroll through my feed, sometimes through two years of photos.

I was just introduced to Seahorse, which is a mobile application that lets you grab photos from multiple sources (Facebook, Instagram, your phone, etc.) and put them into collections, called "Scenes." Then you can add friends to each scene and they can contribute photos to create a shared experience. I think this would be so fun for a bachelorette party or wedding weekend! You can add all of your friends and share photos along the way.

The scenes I've created so far are "Wedding Photos," "Minnesota" (probably my favorite right now), and "North Carolina." I added Rob to my Minnesota one so he can add photos from his phone, too. It makes such a nice little shared album!

Do you use Seahorse? If not, you should download it (here for Android and here for Apple) and let me know what you think! The app is free, but with the promo code CLEVERHORSE, you can get an extra 5GB or storage until October 31st!
