I had the pleasure of attending two baby showers this weekend! Don’t ya just love shower food?! This was like a nutty pineapple carrot cake combo involving cream cheese and buttercream!!!! Cheers to [one of the] lovely moms-to-be:) The second shower on Sunday had fabulous food too! Both showers were gender-neutral, which meant lots of yellows and greens. I had never had mint m & m’s before – soo addicting! After Saturday’s shower, Matt and I grabbed pizza with friends…

Food truck Wednesday! Well not really – I think there are trucks at Fullsteam Brewery most nights! Side note: I love food trucks as long as I have a table. I can’t stand eating while standing up – I’m a fast eater and have learned that I do much better if I can sit down and savor my food! Tonight, we met up with friends and a birthday girl for beers and celebration and it was so nice! I…
Guys, I had the most wonderful weekend! My bridal shower was so lovely I nearly cried. It was hosted by three of my mom’s close friends, who have watched me grow up:) They prepared a beautiful spread of food, sangria, and pear punch! Everything was delicious, but I think these bacon-wrapped pears stole my heart. Although everyone knows cake is my true love. Strawberry in the middle! I think my favorite part of the shower was a newly-wed game that…
The highlight of my weekend was definitely a little engagement party we had at Six Plates wine bar on Thursday!! A couple of of friends got together and hosted and it was so sweet! I don’t think anyone has ever planned a party for me and it just meant so much to have all our friends gather together to celebrate. Of course, since it was at a wine bar, there was wine! Its so fun being able to choose wines…
I’m blogging from bed, where I’m recovering from an amazing night on the town as well as killer sprints in bootcamp that left my quads aching. I guess that means it was a great weekend! One of our friends was overdue for a birthday celebration, and her husband surprised her with a limo full of friends. We started the evening at Dos Perros where we waited to surprise the birthday girl. Of course there were margaritas and nachos. And Matt…
Merry merry Christmas! We celebrated at my house in Hillsborough with Matt parents, my parents, my sister, her husband and his mom, and new baby Mazen. We had a full house and it was so very merry. My time was spent playing with the baby, drinking Christmas beers, enjoying time with family, giving and receiving presents, and eating sweets and savory treats! And of course, there was cake:) I’m so thankful for the past couple of days, but I’m also…
I don’t really know what I did this weekend. I’m so excited to be on break, that I’ve just been going with the flow. It’s amazing. And it’s so nice that I don’t have to travel this year, since my parents live 20 minutes down the road! I never remember feeling so relaxed right before Christmas. Friday was the last day of school for students and the principal arranged a huge bbq lunch for all the staff. We had pulled…
I’ve learned to make a copy of my posts to prevent Ecto from eating them…unless it’s late at night and I’m tired and I forget. And it’s always those nights that posts are consumed:( So, I apologize for last night’s post. So today I had another holiday party! This time, instead of psychologists, it was the exceptional students staff at one of my schools. And this party had adult beverages:) We went to a local bar and they had half…
Lovely – Ecto ate another post. AHHHHHHHH. The gist: I went to a holiday party and ate pizza. I tried to run with the pizza in my stomach and it jiggled around too much. I organized all the Christmas gifts I’ve purchased with bags and tissue. I enjoy the challenge of shopping for gifts even when I’m baffled about what to buy. I know a lot of people are moving towards not exchanging gifts to save time and money, but…
