Obsessions

Lately I have been loving some of Micheal Kors items. I was lucky enough to find this blouse on sale for 40% off (its still on sale) and really love it. Lightweight and great with jeans or cut-offs. Runs TTS.

The print and beaded neckline are so different and fun on this dress. I bought a similar Charlie Jade dress last year and still wear it often.

Scenes From Our Weekend

I can't believe it is Monday already and almost halfway thru April! This year seems to be flying by.

I started off the weekend Friday with a fun ladies lunch. We ate at Tavern and Table which is a new favorite restaurant of mine. The interiors are gorgeous and it is right on the water. We were able to get a table outside which was so nice. If you go there you must try the kale salad. It is amazing. I am still thinking about it and how to recreate it at home.

This past week and weekend were great because I could finally wear shorts. Loving the warmer temps. These white shorts are the same brand as the white jeans I wore last week. They are a great fit if you are looking for white shorts.

Blouse | Shorts | Sandals

At lunch I could tell Frances just wasn't acting like herself so afterwards I took her to the doctor and I am glad I did. Sweet girl had an ear infection, hives, and pink eye. Always best to trust your gut. She had no fever or other symptoms but just didn't seem like herself. For all you moms the hives look very similar to bug bites, hard to tell the difference, except she seemed really uncomfortable. She was still smiling even at the doctor:)

Friday we did our usual thing and ordered pizza and played games with Sterling. We call it our game night. I enjoyed some amazing Rose. My next door neighbor works part time at wine store and introduced me to it. It is a perfect rose, dry, smooth and not sweet.

Saturday morning I took Sterling to Hyams, it is my favorite garden store to browse. He loves it too because of the fish pond at the back. They have some gorgeous plants and everyone is so helpful there.

We planted our Earthboxes and some other flowers. I will report back on the Earthboxes and how well the plants grow. It seems like a cool system though.

My Micheal Kors embroderied shift arrived and I love it! This dress would be great for church, wedding, or party. It is now 40% off.

MK Embellished Dress

Enjoyed the most delicious burger. Matt cooks the most amazing burgers. The key is good meat (80/20 is best) and simplicity no extra seasoning but salt and pepper.

Sunday we enjoyed another great meal, whole wheat banana panckes and bacon. Miss Frances was all about the bacon.

I finally have got back into running. I go through phases not working out but now I am back in the zone. I ran three times this week and my goal is to get back to 4 runs a week. It helps me so much mentally to get that workout in and have some alone time.

These are a few songs on my current playlist. Sometimes I just listen to Sugar on repeat, Adam makes me want to run.

Sunday night we cooked Shrimp Nachos. Can you tell this weekend was all about cooking good food at home?? It was nice to have a low key weekend with no plans.

Hope you have a great start to your week.
