-I started a little bit of exercise last week and my body feels like an old man. My pelvic bones still ache and are not quite back in place, and my back hurts most days. I had a massage and went to a prenatal yoga class (with Em!), and things are starting to feel more normal. -We were lucky to have two great date nights last week – feels like our pre-baby life! Our friend works for the Mav’s and…

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…
Happy last week in January! It has become a surprise short week, thanks to a lovely stomach bug of sorts that hit Monday night. Before that though, we had a fun weekend. Guac and tequila = sunshine and warmth. On Friday, we made margs with the last drops of this awesome reposado that was gifted to us last year. I hogged the chips while Matt told me all about his week, and then we sautéed some shrimp for tacos. I…
-It was half-off champagne night with the girls – I normally wouldn’t go towards bubbles in January, but man that stuff is good. -I’m getting into The Chainsmokers. – -We had some pretty amazing food and a boatload of fun with my sister and brother-in-law last weekend. Kath has all the details. -Did you guys get the day off on Monday? I forgot about it until the night before and experienced pure elation. We could use a little MLK in…
We had a low-key weekend over here – Friday, I cooked some awesome pork chops at home and we drank a little French wine that I smuggled home in the suitcase. I went to bed super early and it was lovely. I was a little lazy over Labor Day weekend, so I used this Saturday for some much-needed cleaning and organization around the house. Lately, I’ve been doing laundry on Sundays, and then it sits in the basket all week,…
School is out and summer is here! We kicked things off with a visit from my parents! We had such a fun, relaxed trip with lots of eating and shopping. On Friday we stayed in and enjoyed drinks on the balcony. It was nice to take it easy at the end of the week and catch up with my parents. Saturday, we got up and headed south for a 3ish mile hike at the Cedar Ridge Preserve. It was hot,…
Chicken Scratch has been on my list forever! It requires perfect weather, as it’s mostly outdoors. I’ve always heard that it gets packed on the weekends, so I’ve never gotten my act together to go. This weekend was ideal because we saw 70 and sunny, and some of my college friends were in town. We arrived around noon on Sunday and had our choice of picnic tables. The atmosphere was farmyard chic, and there was a side dedicated to family-friendly…
Well hello! I had a lovely weekend hosting my in-laws from the far away land of Maryland! We kicked off the stay-cation with dinner at Lockhart BBQ down in the Bishop Arts section of Dallas. This place is famous and we’ve had it on our list for a year. I loved the brisket, ribs, and baked beans, I just wasn’t a fan of the sauce. I had my second pumpkin beer of the season too. Matt’s parents love beer, and…
We had a very nice weekend over here! We didn’t do a whole lot, but we did get to hang out with friends both Friday and Saturday nights. And meet a one month old baby! Friday, one of Matt’s coworkers was promoted, so we went to a happy hour celebration at the W Hotel, complete with champagne! We had planned on cooking in on Friday, but time got away from us at the party and we ending up eating bar…
