Scenes From Our Weekend

Did everyone have a good weekend??  We sure did.  It was jam packed but so nice. 

Lets start with Friday.  Friday I finally busted out my Forever 21 Leopard shorts that I bought a few months back.  They are my new favorite shorts.  So comfortable and cute.  Of course now I cant find them online but I did spy these cute leopard  shortsskirt and dress.  I have seen the dress in person and love it. 


Friday while Sterling was in school I hit up Target and found the best stuff.  How amazing is this Mossimo Beach Tote?  It of course came home with me.


I also picked up these cute sandals.  I love the Aztec vibe.  Our store was pretty much sold out of them, they had like two pairs left,  a really small pair and one for my big ass feet, but they are still online.  I swear they look so expensive in person. 
  i 

Saturday morning we went to Breakfast at Okra Grill.  I had never been before but Matt kept raving about it and wanted to take us.  It did not disappoint.  I had the Sausage Egg Benedict with Pimento cheese grits, just incredible.


Saturday afternoon we went to Taylor's first Birthday party, I of course did not snap one pic but you know Caycee had a photographer so I am sure there will be plenty of pics on her blog.  I did what I do best and made a mean cheese plate for her party.


Saturday night we babysat for my sister so she and her hubby could go out and celebrate their anniversary. I was in heaven snuggling with my nephew all night and Sterling could not get enough of him.


This was Sterling's attempt to snap a picture of me and Finley.


I found the most gorgeous hydrangea at Lowes- I had never seen a tall one like this.  We put it on our front porch and are loving the pop of color.


 I whipped up a few loaves of our favorite Strawberry bread.  This is the best bread ever- you can get the recipe Here.


Then of course we had to whip up something tasty for Cinco de Mayo.  We made our Shrimp Tacos with Pineapple Avocado Salsa + Mexican Corn.


Lastly, can we discuss Chris Martin's hot body?  Who knew he was rocking a body like that?  Do you think he works out with Tracey Anderson too?


Happy Monday.  At least the sun is finally out here!
xoxo

E Hayes said...

Must try that strawberry loaf! And wow, Chris Martin is looking good, I bet he does TA Method too.

The cheese plate has me drooling and its only 830am!

Of course he has has to step it on .. he is married to the world's most GORGEOUS woman alive .. or whatever the title was .. and those tacos look delicious! I thought as a Carolina girl born and raised that my weekend would always be southern comfort food, but since moving to Texas, I have def become a Mexican lover.

{Also, got this bag from Target last week. How could you, in good spirit, walk by it and not take it home?}

Melissa W. said...

Now I want Mexican food again! Baby Finley is perfect! Beach tote I must go get!

Unknown said...

That tote looks like Mara Hoffman! Those tacos look delish and OF COURSE Chris Martin looks like that, GP probably keeps a tight household and has her own TA gym off of her pool! Crazzzy.

Ewwww! He looks pasty and skinny/flabby - I didn't even know such a combination was possible.
