sensory overload 3.0
noda brewing creates a signature brew every april for autism awareness month.
we went last tuesday, april 5, for the tapping of this year’s brew, sensory overload 3.0- it was delicious! it’s a citrus infused ipa {tangerine, grapefruit, and orange peel}. noda brewing company is so generous and is donating $1 of every beer sold this month to autism charlotte- so nice of them! 
parks had a great time as well! 
he received a lot of loving 
the new spot is spacious with fun decor and an amazing outdoor area 
{again, perfect for kids and dogs!}
heart this girl! 
parks loved snuggling with her and we have lots of common interests- lots. 
my first roommate in charlotte- july 2007
 kate and her precious {and super fun} son, william 
i came into this new city very dependent/young {and very stressed- ha} and found the perfect, lifetime friend. i have grown so much since then and have her to thank for a lot of that. 
she’s always, always there for me. 
but mostly, i love raising baby boys with her!
