Mother's Day Brunch Ideas

It's no secret that Sunday brunch is one of my favorite "pastimes".  While I love going out for brunch at local restaurants, hosting a brunch at home would also be a great way to spend some time with your Mom for Mother's Day. I found some Pinterest pretty recipes & ideas to share:

Pineapple Coolers

Weekend Recap: Sunday Brunching

Happy Cinco de drinko!
Except I'm stuck in the office working so no drinks for me ;-)

I had a pretty chill weekend. K and I met some friends for happy hour after work on Friday.

I was sick all day on Saturday so that sucked. I finally felt better in the night and spent a couple hours Skyping with my best friend from Trinidad catching up & helping her with some wedding planning. 

I felt so much better on Sunday, so we went for brunch with friends. We tried out a new restaurant that had a brunch buffet with unlimited mimosas.

After brunch, we stopped for some margaritas and live music for pre-Cinco de Mayo celebrations and ended up at a tiki bar where the hubs ordered us some drinks called "Tiger Fuckers" (haha) before we called it a night.

How was your weekend?

West Coast to East Coast Readjusting

Hello lovelies!

I spent most of last week in San Francisco for a work conference and woke up at the ungodly hour of 3:30 am on Friday to catch my flight back to Florida. Thankfully, I returned home just in time for the weekend so I had a few days to readjust to the time difference and catch up on some sleep.

A shot glass was my only souvenir from the trip. (I buy shot glasses in every country and city that I visit so I now have about 20+ shot glasses.) I had a short layover in Phoenix and loved the pretty views of the dessert from the plane.

On Friday night, I barely had enough energy to do anything so we rented American Hustle from Redbox and had a relaxing night at home. 

On Saturday, K and I went to the gym and had a lunch date at Chili's. Later in the evening we rented Dallas Buyers Club and had some wine at home. Excellent movie btw!

On Sunday, K and I went for brunch at one of my favorite restaurants. Bonefish sent me a $10 off coupon via email so I wanted to use it before it expired. They also have some delicious cocktails :-)

I had a much-needed relaxing weekend after a hectic trip and hardly any sleep last week. I'm also heading to New Orleans in two weeks so I'm happy to have some relaxing weekends in between traveling. 

Hope you had a great weekend too!

Girls Reunion Weekend

What an amazing weekend spent with my college besties! We certainly can still party like we're 21.... Lots of stories, laughing, drinking and eating was had on Sat and Sun.

On Friday, K and I ordered dinner and stayed in to watch a movie. We got Spring Breakers from RedBox and it turned out to be a lot crazier than we expected. I don't recommend it :-P

Saturday:

~ On Sunday, I made breakfast for K and I and then headed out to a hair appointment.

 ~ I got my highlights touched up and added in some burgundy foils, which I love!

~ Met up with two of my college besties to start our reunion weekend to celebrate the life of our friend that passed away last year.

~ After lunch we hopped around downtown Orlando to some of our favorite spots.

~ Several fireball shots were had.

~ Later that night we went back to my friend's house and told stories around the fire.

~ We walked to a late night bar for one last fireball shot to end our Saturday night.

Sunday:

~ On Sunday I met back up with the girls for Brunch at this cute local spot downtown Orlando.

~ I got to try chicken and waffles for the first time and it was AMAZING! We also had the largest pineapple mimosas. Ever.

~ Afer brunch we went to a sports bar to play some skee ball and test out a few different beers. 

- My friend bought a Pizza flavored beer and I tried out a Bannana Bread flavlored beer along with several pumpkin beers and other seasonals. 

~ We had some photobooth fun and did some catching up over beers and finally called it a night since Monday tends to come way too quickly.

I was an awesome sunday funday and reunion weekend with my college girls!

Hope you had a great weekend too :-)

Weekend Whereabouts

Hope everyone is having a great day so far!  My Monday hasn't been too shabby which is usually unheard of in these parts ;-)

Linking up with Sami today for Weekend Shenanigans.

On Friday night, K and I just went for our usual dinner and drinks. We decided to go to Outback because neither of us had been there in years. I tried their new Blackberry Sangria from the drinks menu which was delicious!

On Saturday morning , I went to get a facial which I got for free for voting for this specific spa in some local awards. They of course upcharged me $20 for the facial mask (which I didn't ask for). Ah well, when is anything really free?

After I met up with K at the gym and we worked out together and then went for a quick lunch.

On Saturday night, we headed out to the movies. We were hoping to see The Great Gatsby but it ended up being sold out, so our second choice was The Peeples. The movie got some bad reviews but both K and I thought it was pretty funny :-)

On Sunday, I met up with some ladies at a new brunch spot downtown. They had a delicious brunch spread with bottomless mimosas and sangria. It was a nice little get-together with good food, drinks and company.

 

Have a great week everyone!
