Wandering...

...this is so true...it's not secret that Dave and I have moved around a lot. The truth is, it's just so hard to know where the best place to be is for his music. While most people automatically think of New York, LA, Nashville, and Austin because they have such a big music scene- that doesn't necessarily mean it is the best place to be to get a music career going. And though we would love to stay right where we are, we have thought long and hard about if we should move to a bigger city for the time being...and if so, where?

It's impossible to know so the best we can hope for is take a leap of faith and hope we're on the right path (whatever that path may be.) Even if that means getting one of these bad boys and sleeping in the back as we travel the country to play for all of you...

Sidral Mundet

One of the lovely ladies from Sidral Mundet sent us some sodas to try out. They come in green apple and original and since you all know how much Dave and I try to eat as healthy as possible we were very excited to find out that these drinks are naturally flavored with apples and real sugar. Apparently they are big in Mom and Pop restaurants and food trucks, but we'd never heard of them before so we were excited to try them...

Dave was so excited that he popped open the green apple right away. It wasn't my favorite, but then again I don't usually like green apple things other than, well, green apples...but Dave really liked it. We shared the original flavor and we both thought it tasted great!

By the way, I checked to see which stores had it and both Walmart and Target do, but it looks like only Walmart has the fun old style pop bottles that I love so much...just in case anyone wants to try some for themselves...we recommend it :) Make sure to like Sidral Mundet on facebook and twitter, they are giving away lots of fun prizes right now including free sodas.

Hope everyone's week is getting off to a fabulous start, make sure to follow us and stay on the lookout for giveaways of some pretties coming very soon ;)

Steppin' Out Saturday {12}...

Last night Dave had a show at Mike's Wine Dive here in town. We love this place- delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and fab wine. Last time Dave and I got two different entrees and split them both, but the lobster mac and cheese is to die for so we both got that this time...I had been excited all week about it :) The show went well and there was a great crowd...

My week in iphone pics {7}...

Monday was spent catching up on all things internet related, thus the big tea mug was needed...gotta love my super cute hearts mug from Target though :) And I tried out a new mixture of orange tea and green tea, it was fab...later that night I went to zumba with my Mom and my friend's mom, so much fun...

Tuesday was a loooong day, so we wound down the night with a Neil Young documentary and some Boulevard Wheat...mmm mmm good! Oh and I downloaded a new phone app called leme cam, that's why you're seeing double Dave...I'm still figuring the app out but it's pretty cool :)

Wednesday was spent running errands, that night we went to bed early so we could read. Dave has been working on a new Dave Matthews book while I've been reading Bethenny Frankel's "A Place of Yes"...

Thursday was spent catching up on the humongous pile of laundry we had going. We got some new hand towels at Target (can you tell we love it there) and they make me smile...it's the little things...they just added something new and different to the kitchen that makes it feel more decorated.

Friday was filled with yoga, getting my bangs trimmed, and going out to eat with my parents...we also got a new batch of Dave's CD's which is so exciting! Make sure to order one if you haven't yet :)

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Snail mail...

So I got another fabulous package in the mail the other day from the super sweet Lauren over at Open Heart Window, which I'm so excited about by the way, and it got me thinking about snail mail. You guys may or may not know how much I adore snail mail. A little note, card, package...I love it all! And I love sending it too...

...but getting this package made me realize I've been slacking. I used to send my friends snail mail all the time and lately I've been so busy (no excuse) that I haven't. So here is my resolution to be better...friends, get ready...snail mail is headed your way :)

snail mail I received from one of my bff's a few weeks ago

Hope everyone's weekend is getting off to a great start~ my day will consist of yoga, a bang trim by my Mama, and tonight Dave is talking about his album and being an indie musician at CD Tradepost :) 

Happy Friday! ~Mal

What's for dinner {1}...

Monday night Dave made dinner and it was amazing. Since I'm a vegetarian, it's important for us to find ways to get plenty of protein in our meals at home. A new book I got called Vegan for Life recommended seitan, and while I'd heard of it before I didn't realize how much protein it has. So Dave cooked us up some and stir-fried some veggies with teriyaki sauce, it was the perfect combo. 

Tuesday night I made a new type of Asian noodles we bought (Annie Chun's All-Natural.) I made the organic peanut sesame noodles and sauteed some spinach to go with it. These were delish! We will definitely be buying them again. And they're quick, always a plus.

Wednesday night Dave made us some good old tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. The soup was just the way I like it...spicy! He added some cayenne peppers to it for me :) He also added some lemon/orange pepper, it was perfection.The sandwiches were made with Ezekiel bread and pepper jack cheese. I added a few jalapenos to mine, have I mentioned I like to feel the burn?

Ok, so Thursday I was planning to do something different, more elaborate...but Dave loved what I made on Tuesday so much that he special requested I make another kind. I made the teriyaki noodles this time and added some spinach again. While the teriyaki was still very good, we liked the peanut sesame better...

**PS~ even if you guys just take pictures of one dinner or don't switch up who is cooking we would still love to have you link up! This is just a fun way to get some ideas of what to make for dinner!

Make sure to grab a button if you're linking up with us! Can't wait to see what you all ate this week :)

Wordless Wednesday {8}...

Happy Wednesday! Here are two of the pictures I got of the gorgeous sunset last night, they seriously don't even do it justice...like I always say, Kansas skies are the best :) Enjoy...

Dave and I drove around a little last night and I couldn't help but just stare at the beautiful scenery and take a few pictures, the sunsets have been absolutely breathtaking lately...

**PS~ Did you guys notice my new commenting system? Don't be shy! It's new but not scary, I promise...

Quote of the day...

I saw this quote on Casey's blog yesterday and it really hit home for me. Sorry my handwriting is so crazy up above, but I had to scribble it down as fast as I could and really take it in. 

This is something that hits me hard sometimes. While 99% of the time I am not worried at all about the fact that I don't have a "real" job...I know what I do matters and that I am constantly learning and growing...every once in awhile I'll have an off-day, someone will make a comment or I will just feel like I should get a "real" job and it gets me down. But this comment reminded me that we were made for something more.

There is so much more to life than money and getting ahead...now don't get me wrong I have many friends in the corporate world doing exactly what they should be and I am so proud of them, but there is still so much more to their life than work....

So let's get out there and "enrich the world" shall we?

Yellow Peony love...

Remember on Friday when I told you I got an awesome package in the mail? Well here it is! Haley, one of our wonderful sponsors, sent us this fabulous headband...and I know you all know how much I've been dying for a cute headband! Thank you so much Haley for my making me my very first one, I can say I am officially hooked. 

I wore it out all day on Saturday as we ran around town and went out to eat...I love it and so does Dave :) Make sure you all go check out The Yellow Peony and all of the pretties there...

Steppin' Out {11}...

On Friday, Dave played at Wichita Brewing Co. again. The place was packed and of course, like always, the beer and pizza were wonderful. One of the owners had some leftover dough so he made us a smaller version of their s'mores pizza...words can not even describe. Plus, like I said yesterday one of my besties was in town from Kansas City and it was great to hang out with her and her boyfriend.
