Scenes from Our Weekend

We could not have asked for more gorgeous weather this weekend.  It was just perfect, lots of sun and not too hot or cold.  We spent lots of time outdoors.

Friday I had lunch at Lee Lee's Hot Kitchen.  I had not been there in forever, it never disappoints.   We had the lettuce wraps, dumplings and General Tao's Chicken (not pictured).

This dress came in the mail and I am so excited to wear it once the weather warms up a bit.  I love tee shirt dresses in the Summer and I especially loved the blue stripes on this one.  Someone asked if it was too short and it is not.  I am 5'9 and the length is fine, I have a size 1.

Saturday morning the kids and I headed to the Farmers Market.  This is one of our favorite Saturday traditions.  We always stop in Glazed along the way for doughnuts.  This week they had a special called the pina colada doughnut and it was seriously one of the tastiest doughnuts.  It was filled with a pineapple filling and had toasted coconuts on top.

After the Farmers market we picked up Matt and headed to Ellis Creek Fish camp.  The kids love this place and it is so nice to eat outdoors, not to mention the gorgeous view.

My sweet little boy, who seems so grown up these days.
I love their fried okra, especially good paired with a glass of rose:) 

Saturday we had a date night with two other couples.  We tried out Maybank Public House and really enjoyed it.
I have to show a close up of my shoes because I am kind of obsessed with them!  They also come in an ivory color as well.

Sunday Matt and Sterling went fishing.  I snapped this pic of Matt in the zone.
Sterling ready to catch some flounder.
This little lady, so much sass and attitude these days:)

Ann Taylor is offering 50% off the entire site only until tonight at midnight.  Use code CYBER50.
This pineapple blouse is a recent purchase and I love it.  I am wearing a size small.

For dinner Sunday night I made the Ramen Noodle salad out of Chrissy Teigan's cookbook and it was so good!! 


My best friend Caycee just designed a line of bags with Hayden Reis that launches today!  I am so excited for her and the bags are super cute!   I have mentioned their bags on here before,  they are perfect for the pool and beach.  They are so easy to clean, you can literally just spray them down with a hose.  I just love the pattern she picked out for her bags paired with the black background.  A Perfect Summer Tote!
You can use code MOMLOVE to save 15% off your order!

I personally love the Ditty style, it a great size to tote towels and all the kid's stuff.    We used our Ditty tote so much last Summer.  

This bucket tote is a new style out this year.  I just just ordered it, I figure it is a good size to pack lunches and snacks for a day at the pool or park. 


Happy Monday!

Thoughts For Friday


Happy happy Friday!  This weekend we have plans to hit up the Farmers Market and a date night with a few other couples.

I am always on the lookout for cute tee shirts for during the day.  I like to pair them with jeans or shorts with fun jewelry for a cute casual look.  This tee is a new favorite.  I love the fit of it, it is not too tight or too big and it has a slightly longer back.  I am wearing the almond color which is such a great neutral.  It runs pretty TTS, I am wearing a size small.

I am addicted this new flavor of Lacroix- Blackberry + Cucumber.  It is so refreshing.

Flower shopping with my girl.

Now that the weather is warmer it has me craving Tomato pie one of my all time favorite Southern Recipes.  We had it for dinner this week paired with Banshee Chardonnay.  I love all Banshee wines.
You can find the Tomato Pie recipe under my recipes tab:)


I just got  my girl Gwennie's new cookbook and I am so excited to try some of the recipes.  There were so many that looked amazing.


A recent outfit this week.
I love the pattern and colors of this blouse.   I have been wearing the wedges non-stop.  My parents gave me them for my birthday and they rock.  The heel isn't too high and they are so comfortable!

We got Sterling's school pictures back this week and I could not stop laughing.  I forgot it was picture day and he went to school in workout leggings, a tee shirt that says "taco bout awesome", and a fake hand tattoo.  That outfit paired with the cheese fake background is just too good.  You better believe I ordered several copies!  and side note why do schools insist on these cheesy backgrounds??
I don't shop in Ann Taylor often but when I saw this Pineapple blouse through the window I knew I needed it.  I love the blush color paired with the pineapples.
I am always looking for cute hair bows to keep Frances Moon's hair out of her face.  I prefer the smaller simple ones and these are some of our new favorites.  They actually really stay in place too. You can shop the Etsy site here called Camiandco.

This is style we prefer, but there are lots of other cute styles and some really sweet baby headbands that would make a great gift.

The strawberries from our Farmers Market have been so good lately.  Perfectly juicy and sweet.  I have been looking for new ways to use them and can't wait to try this recipe for crostini with goat cheese, mint, strawberries and balsamic vinegar.

I also think this Strawberry Moscow Mule sounds amazing- so refreshing!


Lastly three of my dresses that I wear often were just reduced.  
The white dress I wore last weekend is newly reduced- I am wearing a small.


Wearing size small.

Have a great weekend!
