I can finally relax a bit, both because Grammie is here to take care of Emerson when I go to the hospital, and because I have an entertainer + another set of hands to help with everything. After a hard week of toddler challenges (flu shot + a cold + constipation + sleep issues made for the perfect storm), I put my feet up on Friday night! My mom put Em to bed, and Matt made us two tasty pizzas…
We planned a little mountain escape with Matt’s parents this weekend in Wintergreen, VA. We rented a condo through Airbnb and made the 4.5 hour drive on Wednesday afternoon. This is the first car trip of the summer where we started driving during Emerson’s nap and she actually fell asleep. It was only an hour, but was so nice! We were thrilled to arrive in Wintergreen and find chilly mountain air. We were all cold sitting out on the balcony…
And just like that another school year is complete! I’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t even had time to think about summer. But now it’s here and I have 10 weeks off with my sweet girl! Matt’s parents were visiting last weekend and we did a lot of eating around town. We finally made it to Pecan Lodge after living in Dallas for 4 years! The meat lived up to the hype. Although, we skipped the main line by…
Hello! We had a fabulous weekend over here! My parents stopped in Dallas for a quick visit on their way back from Cabo. Matt, unfortunately, got stuck working in New York on Thursday and Friday, so it was nice to have some company. Thursday night, we strolled to the local pub and then I made an easy dinner with WF thai shrimp burgers. On Friday, my mom and I enjoyed our favorite pastime – the mall:) Emerson got a bunch…
Hello! I’m sitting at the airport on my way to Matt’s college reunion, waiting on a two hour delay:( I’m officially finished with the 15-16 school year though! Woohoo! Last weekend, Matt’s parents came to visit and we had a fabulous time! We cooked for them on Friday, and then I took Matt’s mom to the gym on Saturday. I haven’t felt that great doing yoga lately, so I did some lifting while Candace went to a vinyasa class. And…
I had a blast last weekend celebrating my friend Liz’s 30th! It’s such a fun year of big birthday parties. A bunch of friends flew in for the occasion, and after a mimosa brunch on Saturday, we got blow-outs in preparation for the event. The theme was 90’s, and this is what my stylist came up with. Apparently, it was inspired by Married With Children, which I’ve actually never seen. Afterwards, we ended up going next door to grab drinks…
As is tradition on Thursday nights, I’m just getting around to posting about last weekend. It was a nice weekend, but one of those where you have no idea where the time went. Friday, we stayed in and I made a giant lasagna to go with a lovely wine that we brought home from Sonoma. This is the first bottle we’ve had since the trip, and I’m already sad that one is gone. I’m one of those wine hoarders who…
We had too much fun this weekend! Matt’s sister came to visit and we had all kinds of good eats and drinks. Friday, we made homemade margs – one of my favorite things since we bought really good tequila over the summer – and then we walked to Victor Tangos. I can never get enough of that place. There’s an energetic vibe, the cocktails are creative and ever-changing, and the food is fun. I had a drink made with house-made…
Two of our good friends were in town visiting family this weekend, so we spent Saturday night on the town! Matt and I made a pizza and just took it easy on Friday night in preparation. I haven’t felt that rested on a Saturday morning in a long time! When our friends Lauren and Evan arrived, we immediately took them to our favorite taco joint, Urban Taco! I ordered my usual tacos and we also got the avocado ceviche, which…
