Weekend Whereabouts


This weekend was the perfect break to recharge those batteries. Of course it's never long enough but I had no big plans so I took advantage of sleeping in and being productive around the house. On Friday night K decided to play chef and cooked up a nice dinner at home so it was a relaxing night.



Saturday morning was spent cleaning and organizing the house before heading out to Target, Home Goods, and a few more stops to get some last minute shopping done for our trip this week. I love all the pride clothing that Target is now carrying.


 I didn't go too crazy shopping but I did get a gorgeous pair of rose gold sling-back sandals along with a matching crystal headband and a Stila Lip Gloss in Rose Quartz for my cousin's beach wedding on Saturday.


We all know shopping builds up an appetite so K and I went to Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen for some lunch and shared this delicious cocktail called a painkiller. I don't usually drink rum but all of the other ingredients hid the rum taste and it was so good!


I also bought these super comfortable dupe Michael Kors Espadrille wedges from Target that I've been eyeing for months now. They were 30% off so it was finally time to pull the trigger.


Before heading home for the evening, we stopped off at Publix to stock up on some groceries and I stumbled on this new blueberry beer from Abita. I always rave about Abita's Strawberry beer and this one was equally as good. Strawberry and blueberry happen to be my favorite flavors when it comes to pretty much anything. 


Sunday was another relaxing day. K left for a work trip around 6 am so Lola and I slept in a bit. Well more so her than me!


Then it was time for some breakfast, coffee and, blogging. I also got laundry and cleaning done, food prepped for the week, and put together this Jamaican Curry Chicken recipe in the crockpot to let dinner cook itself.

If you've been following my blog, you might already know that I recently bought a new house and posted that our previous house was sold pretty quickly. Well I spoke too soon and things ended up falling through with those buyers so life has been a little crazy trying to get it sold asap. Nobody wants two mortgages! Well not me at least!


We've had to put decorating and fully furnishing our new home on hold until we can get it sold which explains why I haven't posted many house photos. I'm praying that will change soon!

There's always the good, the bad and the ugly in life but the weekend was a good one and I'm counting down to our little vacay,

Have a great week!

  9. Yay for a relaxing weekend, and of course Lola pics! Target always has the best dupes, and those wedges are one of my favs! I can't imagine how frustrating it's been with the old house still being on the market, but the right buyer will come along soon. Cheers to a fabulous week ending in Jamaica. Yeah mon! <3

  12. When you find the perfect house and yours isn't quite sold yet it is so stressful!!! Getting that timing down is hard. I hope you guys get it sold soon! Love all the items you picked up for your trip. So pretty. Hope you have a great week.

  13. Those MK shoes are great. Sorry to hear about the house, I know that is so stressful! I also love the Abita strawberry. So delicious!

  14. oh no! i am so sorry about your house, i hope it sells super fast. selling and buying at the same time really freaks me out, i want to move in with my MIL while we sell our house, and then look for a new one, which KC is super against that idea, but i don't think i can handle the stress from both. we'll see.
    that painkiller looks amazing! we had cocktails on the cruise or at the islands called painkillers but they weren't that pretty. i quite like rum, as long as it's in a fruity cocktail haha.
    love the pride clothes from target and i definitely want those MK dupes, they are so pretty!

  15. I'm so sorry that everything fell through with your original sellers! The most stressful part about moving is definitely the selling of the house because two mortgages can be scary! Fingers crossed that you can get things sorted out quickly! Other than that it sounds like you had a great weekend of relaxing! I love that picture of Lola sprawled across the bed, because that's typically what Dart looks like too!

  16. I know your house is going to sell soon. It's hard to be patient but hang in a little longer!

    I love the dupe wedges. Thirty percent off is the time to buy!

  17. Sorry about the unsold house that stinks! I hope it sells soon! I love those dupe wedges, may have to try and score them. I love a painkiller, one of my favorite rum drinks. I finally tried the Abita blueberry recently too. I liked it but I think I could not have more than one. Let me know how that crockpot dinner turns out tonight, sounds interesting!
