Glass of Glam

Lavender Iced Latte: Casual Apartment Hunting

in Lifestyle, Style, Summer outfits, Uncategorized on 09/01/16

If you follow me on instagram you know that we have been apartment hunting. We want to save some money (don’t we all?) but don’t want to sacrifice a thriving neighborhood, or a washing machine (I’m a diva).

We ventured over to the Capitol Hill/H street neighborhood in North East DC to see what it was like. It is really up and coming and there are a lot of great things to do there. The neighborhood is little different than where we live right now (The Dupont Circle/Logan Circle/NorthWest) but in an exciting way. I think we are going to go for it!

After seeing the most gorgeous, green, spacious apartment building, we walked to DC Harvest on H Street to check out the food scene that would potentially be around us. DC Harvest was AMAZING! I got a scramble with sweet potatoes and a mimosa, of course. I think husband of glam got the steak and eggs. Not a drop of food was spared.

After brunch we walked around the neighborhood. I like to see if people are are strolling about before I decide I like a neighborhood. Luckily there were people of all ages, lots of young people with strollers, and people walking their dogs. All things I like to see. And some rows of really pretty well-kept homes.

We finally stumbled upon a coffee shop called Ebenezer’s Coffe House. To refuel, I picked out the iced honey lavender latte. It was INSANELY good. Ebenezer’s also has live music from time to time.

While walking around we also spotted a Mexican restaurant, French place, a pub, and a ramen spot! They are also building a brand new Whole Foods, thanks goodness. I like to eat some weird organic things that they just don’t carry in other grocery stores (for example, I prefer my almond milk to be Carrageenan-free. Whatevs.)

What do you guys look for in a new neighborhood?

    That sounds like a great neighborhood. I love lively cities with a good scene of restaurants, bars, stores, unique cafes, cute boutiques and adorable down-towns. That food from the first photo looks amazing and your outfit was perfect to stroll there. Love the necklace!

When we went to Hungary for a week I knew I wanted When we went to Hungary for a week I knew I wanted to be able to come back and continue nursing Rosie. 🌹Our goal is 12 months, and she was only 9 months old when we left.

I brought along my @spectrababyusa pump with the goal of keeping up my supply. I started by pumping four times a day, but dropped to three after a couple of days when I realized that it wasn’t too uncomfortable to just pump 3 times. Two pumps were at the hotel, and one was usually while we were out and about (on planes, in restaurants, hotel sitting areas, and bathroom stalls.) I was a little shy to pump in public, but in Europe NO ONE cares. They didn’t even bat an eye. I wrapped myself in a scarf to be discreet, but I probably didn’t even have to do that.

Sadly, I dumped all the milk. I didn’t want to worry about storage, freezing, transfer, and cleaning pump parts like a madwoman. I just wanted to be as free as possible while still being about to feed my baby when I got home. It was a lot of work but so worth it! Any questions? Leave them in the comments or feel free to DM me! #pumping #babytips #nursingmom #breastfeeding #spectrabreastpump
