Busy, busy morning but we’re on the way to Charlotte!!
After breakfast but before the rain, I walked to the bakery to put in some time before we hit the road. I definitely ate too much bread for no reason other than deliciousness (and they made me do a few quality control calls… Can’t turn those down.) Feeling a bit overloaded at the moment!
Rosemary (welcome back!) made me a sandwich for the road… Pimento cheese on Cville Crunch. I was only going to eat half but an hour later went back for more!
A strawberry for dessert… More later!
Matt’s monster sandwich!
I was hoping to get some work done but my laptop battery is dead! Reading it is….
Can’t wait to see some of our old friends! And drive by our old house! It’s really weird to be going back to the place we called home for 5 years….
Annette @FitnessPerks says
Have fun!!
That sandwich looks/sounds awesome. I wish I had someone making me sandwiches all the time too 🙂 Hehe.
Bridgette Fortier says
Ina May is the best midwife in the world! Her books are excellent. I would also recommend Ina May’s guide to breastfeeding! Love your blog.

Catalina @ Cake with Love says
OMG that bread looks so good, can someone open a Great Harvest in Jersey City, NJ? I will be first at the door every morning, and will gladly assist with any quality control tasting!!
Allison K says

Heidi Bundles Of Hugs says
First that bread looks to die for! And, second that book looks really interesting…let us know how it is 🙂
Brie @ Brie Fit says
I’m reading that book right now. Sometimes I’m reading it and I’m like, “this makes a lot of sense!” and then sometimes I’m like, “This lady is a nutjob.” I’m conflicted.
Nicole says
Trust me–after teaching childbirth classes and being a doula for the past ten years, I can tell you that Ina May is anything BUT a nutjob! She just understands birth in a way that OBs really never think about it (because they tend to discount the emotional/mental aspect of birth and only focus on the physical). I always tell my students that I truly believe birth is about 95% mental and 5% physical—because the physical is going to happen either way but how you feel emotionally will dictate whether the physical aspect is easy or hard!

That bread with the cheese oozing out looks delectable!

mary @ minutespermile says
I eat anything with cheese oozing out of it.
Janice says
That looks yummy! I loove making big sandwiches. Only because Its fun taking a big bite out of it and its exploding with flavor!
Bea says
That book is *excellent*! I read it when I was doing my doula training. If you haven’t looked into it already, another great one is “Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Newborn.” by Penny Simkin.
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
Have a safe drive! That’ll be nice to be back!
Clare says
Ahh that sandwich looks SO GOOD 🙂
Cait's Plate says
Yaaaaay Charlotte!! 🙂 Enjoy your trip!
Matt’s monster sandwich looks SO good!
jojo says
wow the sandwich looks so good!!
I love putting A LOT of stuff in my sandwich too… it gets messy when eating it, but that’s how it should be!? 😛
jassy @ Healthy Egg says
you’re going to see caitlin? 🙂
Molly @ RDexposed says
I cannot bear the thought of driving by my old childhood house. It’s like I need to preserve my memory of it!
Hope you enjoyed each crumb of bread. 😉
Maura @ My Healthy 'Ohana says
Wish we had some of that Cville Crunch in Vegas!! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the childbirth book!
Fran@ Broken Cookies Don't Count says
Yummy looking sandwiches!
Red Runs says
WOW! That bread & sandwich look phenomenal!
Nicole says
That is THE book that I recommend to my childbirth couples! If they read no other book before class, I tell them they must read this one 🙂 While Ina May is a hippy, she knows her stuff and even OBs use her techniques for things like shoulder dystocia (her technique is known as The Gaskin Maneuver). SO glad you are reading it 🙂
Adrienne says
I concur with what all the other women here have said about Ina May. I just had my first baby 8 weeks ago and was so nervous about the whole labor process- especially as I am an American living abroad in London so went through the NHS. Ina May’s book filled me with confidence and I went into labor confident, excited and ready mentally to adapt to whatever happened. Highly recommend it!
