Weekend Fun

Last weekend we got to see some of our very favorite people! My parents came to visit for a couple days, and our good friends Elissa and Jose came on Sunday for some shopping in Old Town Spring. We had so much fun visiting with everyone and Bear especially loved all the attention.

 

 

We shopped Sunday after in Old Town Spring; loved seeing Elissa! We were best friends in college and have stayed close ever since.

We got the yummiest smelling handmade candles; I'm already addicted to the lemon scent.

We also indulged on fried Oreos, Reese's, & Snickers. So sinful yet so good.

Bear loves "Duke"!

 

Awkward posed picture; my Mom attempted taking outfit pictures for me but I only okayed one out of about sixty. So here it is :).

 

Sunday evening we headed to our favorite place, Cheesecake Factory!

 

We headed to the mall Monday morning so Bear could ride the carousel and the girls could do a little shopping. (spy a Bear whisperer?)

Shopping wore this little boy out.

I prefer my sneakers with sparkles. Thanks for the new kicks, Mom!

Just realized Zach didn't make any of these pictures...pretty sure he avoids them on purpose. ;)

 

Hope your weekend was a fun one, too!

This Week

 

Happy weekend, friends!

 

Can't believe another week has come and gone; they seem to be flying by so quickly lately. My little brother is currently en route to Houston, so we're all kinds of excited for a fun next few days!

 

Our week was full of play dates, treats, & and spending time outside enjoying the beautiful weather. It was in the high seventies almost everyday this week, which meant lots of park/driveway time for Bear & me.

mornings on the driveway

and an #ootd from yesterday...can you tell I have a slight B&W obsession?

 

nap time for Bear= relaxation time for Mommy

the sweetest bff's

 

just your typical bathroom selfie (Bear kissed himself in the mirror at least 18 times)

every day.

warm weather makes for perfect hammock time

 

Charming Charlie, Bear's favorite! ;)

 

I am in love with 3D fiber lash mascara. I don't have naturally long eyelashes; this stuff is like magic! One coat, no curling, gives me this result. Order yours here!

And because most posts only show our "highlights", here's a "behind the scenes" of yesterday when Bear decided to dump out a brand new bag of Cheetos on the driveway (and then proceed to eat a few). Ahh, life with a toddler.

Hope you have the best weekend!

Weekend

Last weekend was one of those that isn't too terribly busy but still seems to fly by. Zach has been working pretty long hours during the week so we really treasure our weekends and time with the three of us.

 

My little brother is coming to visit this weekend so we are already making plans and getting excited :). Tomorrow's already hump day!

 

 

It all started with a little Friday night run to Walgreens for "medicine".

Valentine's candy is the best though, right? Totally warranted.

 

 

Saturday morning we got up and headed out to get the boys haircuts. Bear & I are big fans of slip-on sneakers. And Skittles.

After a nap (for only Bear, sadly), we headed to Braxton's birthday party at My Gym. Bear had a blast!

 

Sunday morning we tried a new brunch spot, Forest Café & Bakery. It was pretty yummy. We didn't love love it, but we'll definitely go back.

 

Then we did a little shopping, of course. Because weekends were made for such.

Saturday evening we watched the Miss Universe pageant and made chocolate chip cookies...because those clearly go together, right? Nothing like seeing beauty queens in bikinis while you're stuffing your face with chocolatey goodness.

Hope you had a fabulous weekend, and are now in the middle of a great week! :)

This Week

Happy Friday, friends!

 

 

In pretty much every blog post, I mention how busy we are. Well, not this time! For once we've had a pretty low key week, mostly because Bear and I are both battling nasty colds. Bear did get antibiotic at the doctor today so hopefully he'll be over this in the next couple of days. Fingers crossed, he's been such a little trooper.

 

I've been bitten by the craft bug as of late; all I seem to want to do is run to Michael's and make something I've spotted on Pinterest the night before. Anyone else having this problem? :)

This is a picture heavy post so I'll hop to it. Hope you've all had a wonderful week!

 

 

It all started with "just another mani Monday". Chose the deep purple, in case you were wondering. ;)

 

Macy's has been having some killer sales that I can't seem to stay away from. Neither can Olaf and Sven (both of them).

 

When in question on Starbuck's treats, just get two. Have you tried the salted caramel cake pop? It's heavenly.

 

This little man had a run in with an open drawer one evening, but luckily he's just fine and it's the scratches are almost completely healed.

 

Because this seems like a great way to watch TV.

 

Bear and I are excited for our Valentine's Day party next month! So excited that we already whipped up some (very) homemade Valentine's for Bear's friends.

 

This Charming Charlie trip lasted all of 5 minutes before Bear had his first ever major meltdown over a pink owl-shaped lip balm. That was....fun.

 

Thursday was rainy & gloomy, so we spent the day inside battling our colds and watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

When you fight your nap all day, you fall asleep at 6pm in Daddy's chair.

 

Bear and I honestly never have days that we don't leave the house. It's really, really rare for us. So we pulled out all the play-time stops yesterday, including being "tuh-tulls". We rocked our shells alllllll afternoon.

Because Mommy's friends deserve Valentine's, too! Found these yummy candles at Michael's on sale for 60 cents apiece, so I couldn't resist. Told you I've been craft crazy.

Today's #ootd. Obsessed with black and white these days.

 

Can't even begin to explain how amazing this ice cream is. Truly beyond words. Run, don't walk, to the nearest grocery store.

Bear did so well at his 2 year check-up today; happy to report we have a healthy (big, 35 lb.) boy!
