What are you up to this weekend, friends? We’re enjoying the last few days of Spring Break and I have to say the boys and I have easily adapted to sleeping in late, no schedules and Nutella for breakfast. It’s going to be a rude awakening come Monday for us. (Jeff’s not included here because he’s weirdly a morning person.) Hope you have a fun weekend, … Continue reading Hello Weekend!
What are your plans this weekend? The boys and I have been riveted this past week to the #BabyGiraffe live stream. Have you been watching? Any time April (the mama) moves, or chews some hay, or breathes, we all say, “This is it! It’s time!” Since we’re pretty much invested by now, I’ve basically cleared off all scheduled activities (except soccer, because there’s always soccer) and … Continue reading Hello Weekend!
What are your plans this weekend, friends? I’ve had this random craving for wood-fired, thin crust, melt-in-your-mouth pizza for about a week now, so tonight we’re headed to our fave pizza joint. (Yeah, no making dinner!) And tomorrow, I’ll be playing chauffeur as my boys have birthday parties, play dates and a soccer game (at 8 am!). Have a fun-filled weekend, and here are some … Continue reading Hello Weekend!
Happy Friday friends! What are your weekend plans? It’s my birthday on Sunday (!) and I’m planning to bake this very chocolatey cake and throw a little dance party in our living room to celebrate. I asked the boys, in lieu of gifts, to write me letters about anything they want. As you can guess, this didn’t go over so well, so we’ll see if they … Continue reading Hello Weekend!
Post-holiday hibernation, and an ice storm, have us settled in for the weekend. Homemade pot roast making, brownie baking, scented candles, cozy blankets, beach dreaming, and snuggles with the dog (who seems to have this whole hibernating gig down well) are among the few languid activities on the agenda – add refereeing to that list too. Wherever you are, have a cozy weekend, and here are a few … Continue reading Hello Weekend! (Ice Storm Edition)
What are your plans this weekend, friends? We’re baking cookies tonight and watching Elf. On Sunday, our historic neighborhood hosts its annual Holiday Parlor Tour. I love visiting these beautiful homes, all decked out in their finest holiday decor, and seeing first hand the amount of care, pride and love reflected in each one. It’s a wonderful holiday event, and the complimentary horse-drawn carriage rides through the park, are magical. … Continue reading Hello weekend!
And what an emotional week it has been. How are you doing, friend? My head and heart are still feeling the effects of the last few days, so rest and laughter are top priorities this weekend. I’m taking the boys to go see Dr. Strange and chow down on some popcorn/Junior Mints mix. Saturday, Jeff and I are going to see Anthony Bourdain! Jeff is slightly … Continue reading Hello Weekend!
Happy Friday friends! What are you up to this weekend? With the chaotic fun of Halloween on Monday, I felt like the rest of the week was one long, drawn-out candy hangover. I’m so happy to cozy up on my couch tonight, maybe play some chess with the kiddos, maybe watch an episode or three of this series that Jeff and I are hooked on, maybe just go to … Continue reading Hello Weekend!
And what a beautiful Fall weekend it’s supposed to be here in the Midwest. What are your plans? We are cozying up tonight with popcorn and a movie with the kiddos. We’ve been on an ’80s kick around here, watching Gremlins, The Karate Kid and My Bodyguard. It’s been fun to rewatch these through the eyes of my boys. We’re off to a fall party tomorrow and … Continue reading Hello Weekend!
The boys are having friends over, and glow-in-the-dark frisbee playing, watching scary movies and planning our Halloween costumes are on the agenda. If you’re in a reading mood, here are some fun, and light-hearted, links from near and far. Have a cozy weekend. xx We’re officially beyond the tipping point of Pumpkin Spice. South Grand Chalk Walk is all day Saturday. Jimmy and Kevin Hart Visit a Haunted House. (This … Continue reading Hello Weekend!
