Weekend Happenings


Before I get into my weekend recap, I just want to shout out the birthday girl Kate...wishing you a HAPPY birthday today and wonderful week ahead! xo

About the weekend...
On Friday after work K and I went out to the new Duffy's Sport Bar & Grill in our area for some happy hour, casual dinner, and light sports watching to unwind after a long week. The firecracker boneless chicken wings were amazing plus you can't beat 2 for 1 drinks.



On Saturday morning I went to my hairdresser to get some highlights and cut a few inches off. Who doesn't love walking out of the salon with a fresh new cut? I took an obligatory selfie which I'm supposed to be trying to master per Kerri's selfie tips but still not quite there yet.

I was then off to Marshall's to pick up a few things and lunch was had at Pom Pom's Teahouse for an amazing turkey & cranberry chutney sandwich and lavender iced tea. Saturday afternoon was spent at home relaxing, blogging and attempting to take Lola for a walk.


It started raining and storming again on Saturday evening so it made for a quiet night at home. I used the time to start researching and planning our trip to NOLA. Thanks to all the ladies who gave me some awesome suggestions! I now have a game plan of places to see, restaurants to eat at, and we also have a historic ghost tour booked for K's birthday.

We did a ghost pub crawl in Savannah, GA for my 30th birthday a couple years ago which was a blast (Savannah trip recap) so I can't wait to learn more about the history and spookiness of New Orleans.


We also tried out Key West Southernmost Wheat beer on Saturday night which is delish!


Sunday was a great day for sleeping in and then being productive around the house. We had some eggs, bacon, and cantaloupe for breakfast, took Lola out for a walk, and then I finally made use of my Conair Foot Bath and did an at-home pedicure while watching Orange is the New Black.


It was the perfectly relaxing Sunday to recoup for this work week!


How was your weekend?

    Two for one drinks definitely sounds like a good idea! We're headed to NOLA in September, and I can't wait. It's such a fun city!

    Oh man those boneless wings look fabulous!!! Boneless is the only way I will eat wings and they are so hard to find around here!!! The turkey & cranberry chutney looks good too! I feel like Lola when I try to get out and about in the summer time. I have one of those foot baths that I have used maybe 5 times in the 10 plus years I have owned it. I am so lazy!

    your hair looks fabulous! i always feel so fantastic after getting my hair done, if only i could replicate that feeling at home. that ghost pub crawl looks so scary! we did a .. i don't even remember what it was called, maybe it was called a ghost tour as well, but we walked all around NOLA and learned about witches and other stuff. to be honest, i barely remember it and at the time could hardly understand the guide because it was my first trip to the US and his accent was super thick. I'd totally do one again now that I can understand americans better lol

    Love the cut! I am in need of a pedicure soon. I just bought peep toe heels sooo that's a good enough excuse right? Wings sound so delicious right now. They're going to need to happen soon.
