    Happy Monday! We had one of the best weekends and part of that had to do with 60 degree temperatures and sunshine all day on Saturday. Warm weather and the sun is so good for the soul. We spent as much time outside as possible, walking around and exploring our downtown. The first stop was lunch at our favorite brewery followed by a visit to the cutest bookstore. This book made me laugh especially the sticker that says, “Pull-out poster inside.” We popped in and out of a few other stores and I fell in love with the look of these mini cacti in various cups and bowls. Although they…

    This was one of those weekends that I wish could have lasted forever. It was the perfect fall weekend with the most gorgeous weather and lots of family time. After being out of town for work all week, I rushed home Friday afternoon to pick up the boys. I surprised them with trick or treating downtown and they were so excited. Every year our downtown district transforms into all things Halloween and stores handout candy to hundreds of children. Despite it being cold and rainy all day, it finally cleared up and the sun came out just as the event started. Saturday was absolutely perfect with temperatures were in the 70’s…

    Despite having to work on a Saturday, the weekend was pretty perfect. I went to the boys’ school on Friday afternoon for Jack’s class’ apple tasting party. There was a variety of apples and homemade applesauce the kids made that morning. The real favorite though was the apple flavored licorice. After school it was haircut time followed by frozen yogurt. Although we had cooler temperatures the day before, it was back into the upper 80’s this weekend. I tried out a new salsa recipe for dinner that tasted just like something you’d find in a restaurant. I hope to post the recipe later this week. That night we headed to…

    It was cloudy and cool the entire weekend which made it feel like the first few days of fall. I’m sure it will be back in the 90’s next week, but we’re soaking up the cooler temperatures while we can. It rained Friday night and all day Saturday which made for the perfect excuse to hang around the house. I finished reading Sharp Objects and started the HBO series. I loved the book but think the show is a little slow. Here’s to hoping it gets better.

    This weekend was the perfect mix of family time, relaxation, and lots of productivity. We spent Friday night at the pool followed by a visit to our favorite snow cone place. Pool + snow cones has been our regular Friday night routine all summer and I’m sad that it’s coming to an end. We all slept in Saturday morning and the boys played so peacefully that I was able to relax and finish my book. If you love Bravo or any of the Real Housewives shows, you’ll love The Favorite Sister. Saturday afternoon I took my niece back to school shopping for some clothes followed by a trip to the…
