Weekend Happenings


We meet again on this Monday morning which means it's time to recap the happenings from the weekend. I hope you enjoyed yours!

My weekend turned out to be more relaxing and productive than expected.  I'm usually too exhausted from the work week to do anything on Friday nights but somehow I had a small pop of energy so K and I met up at Carrabba's for a quick happy hour followed by a delicious dinner.


Carrabba's is definitely one of my favorite Italian chain restaurants because of their Chicken Bryan dish which is topped with goat cheese and sundried tomatoes. That and the mussels are so good!


I mentioned on Friday that it turns out I have Tendonitis in my right foot so I have to wear the boot of doom for two weeks. Right foot = driving foot so my mobility is limited or at least very inconvenient with this big bulky thing.


Kate and I had plans to meet up with a girl friend on Saturday for a wine & apps picnic by the lake. Unfortunately our friend came down with a high fever and had to cancel so plans changed and I went out with K to do some shopping and errands.

I restocked on some of my favorites from Bath & Body Works. We go through those foam soaps so quickly and I can't live without their small hand sanitizers to keep in my purse, car, and for traveling.


Saturday evening I worked on so many projects from blogging to photography along with stuff for work and I finally made the Green Tea Body Scrub created by Alexis from the Chemistry Cachet. I like the idea of a natural body exfoliator and the rose water gives it a nice scent.


On Sunday afternoon we went to a baby's 1st birthday party for our friend's son. It was nice catching up with a few friends and seeing everyone's babies as they grow before your eyes.

On Sunday night we tried our hand at grilling lamb chops for the first time. Lamb is one thing I've never attempted to cook but K whipped up an amazing marinade and the lamb with smashed cauliflower and caesar salad for the sides couldn't have been a better Sunday night dinner.

  4. Carraba's is a favorite of mine too. And sorry about your tendonitis, it seems like they should have created a more wearable boot by now-that thing is huge but 2 weeks will fly by I bet

  7. You guys always make the most delicious meals! It looks like such a fun first birthday party for your friend- the time capsule idea is so cool. I hope your tendonitis heals quickly and the boot doesn't get in the way of too much!

  14. Sounds like a great weekend. Hubby and I usually do our date nights on Friday and I'm usually super exhausted after a week of work, but somehow I get that rush of energy to just power through. Especially when it's at a yummy restaurant! That birthday party looks like so much fun, such a cute little guy!

  15. It sounds like you really did have a good mix of relaxing and getting stuff done this weekend! We actually don't have any more Spring/Summer BB&W soaps at our house, so I'm thinking that I need to restock when they have a sale! And that sucks about having to wear the boot, but hopefully the time goes quickly!

  17. Sorry about the tendonitis, it is the worst! I have never been to a Carrabas, and not sure if we even have one, but I will definitely be recreating that chicken Bryan at home! Sounds like a great weekend!

  20. Oh no about your tendinitis! At least you know what it is! I make a green tea scrub but I use yogurt in mine--there's a recipe on the blog from a few years ago if you ever want to mix it up. That party looks so fun!
