Scenes From Our Weekend.

How is it Monday already? I feel like this weekend flew by. It was just what I needed though, we made no plans and it was lovely to relax after the whirlwind Holidays.

I have been on real health kick this week (yeah,yeah I know everybody is and mine probably won't last long). But I have been really into juicing and making Green Smoothies. I found this great recipe for a Pineapple Kale Cucumber Smoothie and I highly recommend. All it consists of is kale, pineapple, cucumber and raspberries. So it is super healthy. Get Recipe HERE. Picture via.



I got organized in the kitchen. I found these containers at Walmart of all places, only $1.99. I used them to put all our sugar, grains, pasta, and dried beans in. Now I love opening my pantry.



We enjoyed some afternoon cocktails on my father-in-laws sailboat. Gotta love 70 degree days in January.




We ate brunch at an amazing new restaurant on James Island called HEART. Seriously all you locals must try this place. They have a great menu and so many delish specialty drinks. They hand squeeze all their juices and they make their own Bloody Mary mix as well. Everything was so fresh and delish.



Here as a peek at what we enjoyed: Sausage Egg and Cheese Sandwich, Cauliflower Hash with Eggs, and Broccoli, Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Frittata. The Frittata was mine and it was amazeballs. I can't wait to dine here again!






I spent a little time browsing at Barnes and Nobles. Yep, I know I am a nerd but I love browsing at bookstores. I found this beauty on the clearance table- I mean why was this gem of a cookbook on clearance? I heart The Beekman Boys and this cookbook is filled with some mouthwatering recipes. I was happy to bring her home at 50% percent off and add her to my expanding cookbook collection!



I put my little man in jeans for the first time. I don't know why but babies in jeans makes me a little sad. I love a baby boy dressed in rompers and bubbles. I feel like he will be wearing jeans the rest of his life so I like to dress him like a baby while he is a baby, but my little man is quickly turning into a toddler. These jeans are truly vintage, they were my brothers from the 80's. Gotta love the Calvin Klein Jeans right? Pretty darn cute!



It was a good weekend, hope yours was too!

I put my 2 year old in jeans for the first time last fall and was shocked at how cute I thought he looked. Sterling rocks his Calvins well.

It was in the 70's here too this weekend! I kind of liked it, but now back to rainy and cold weather on it's way. Sterling is too cute!! I agree with dressing babies as babies for as long as you can. :) Glad you had a great weekend, with amazing food and fun time outdoors! Hope you have a wonderful week.

Nothing (except for a Pamper) comes between Sterling and his Calvins. He worked it. Be proud.
