Pineapple Delight: Cute Home Decor

How sweet it is to be Friday!

Just like I have this fascination with starfish which represents serenity/peace, I think pineapples represent hospitality/friendship because of the sweetness it brings.

May Days

 I love seeing all the new flowers blooming around town. We don't have blue bonnets like Texas but I love these purple flowers, whatever they're called. My garden needs some work in the flower department which I should have done this weekend.

Playing Tourist in Houston

I had a blast visiting friends and exploring Houston last month. We didn't do any of the real touristy things like museums or aquariums but more checked out the local scene with a few stops to see some sites unique to Houston like the Water Wall.

Friends and Frosés

The weather played nice this weekend so Kate and I finally got to meet up with the husbands and babies in tote. Baby Fashionista loves dogs so she had blast playing with Lola.

Friday Funday: Q&A

 Happy Friday!




I started my new job this week so I apologize for being MIA while I try to figure out how to balance work, life & blogging.

Oh, Weather Man

I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend even with the weather all over the place. Orlando was forecasted to be rainy ALL weekend which it was here and there but the Weather Man was wrong. We got some good rays of sunshine which is a shame because we had fun plans for Saturday with Kate but decided to reschedule because of the weather.

Travel Carry On Essentials

Happy Friday!

So I think only Kate knows this life update but I'm starting a new job on Monday! I'm super excited about it because it's a career advancement with better benefits and overall work environment. I'm definitely going to miss my coworkers but, when an opportunity like this falls in your lap, it was a sign to move on and upwards.

With that being said, I've done a little weekend travel before things get busy. Most recently was my trip to Houston which I posted about on Wednesday.  

Houston: The Food & Bar Scene

We packed so much into my Houston trip last weekend, I decided break it up into a few posts focusing on different adventures so this one doesn't turn into a 10-page essay. Today I'm sharing the restaurants, bars, and breweries we visited.

Houston Weekend Highlights

  

I caught a last minute flight to Houston on Thursday to visit friends and they were amazing tour guides driving me around to see all the city has to offer. We packed so much in over the weekend but I got home around midnight last night so I'm doing a quick recap with one picture per day.

Hello Houston!

It was a last minute decision to fly to Houston for the weekend to visit a lifelong friend who is now 7 months pregnant. This is my first time visiting anywhere in Texas so I'm excited to explore Houston and get some quality time with my girl friend.

I'll catch you all next week. Have a great weekend everyone!

Main Event Entertainment Center: Eat. Play. Bowl.

A few weeks ago I helped coordinate an offsite team-building day at Main Event Entertainment Center located on International Drive in Orlando. Main Event has fun and games for kids and adults including state-of-the-art bowling, laser tag, gravity ropes adventure courses, billiards, video games and much more.

Weekend Adventures

It was an outdoorsy kind of weekend. Perfect for getting some color on my skin and wind in my hair.

Easter Weekend

We had a fun-filled long weekend spending time with family and friends in Sarasota.
 

TBB Asks: Spring/April Edition

I hope everyone enjoyed Easter and had a good weekend. I'm linking up with The Blended Blog ladies today sharing a fun Spring Q & A.

New Beauty Voxbox from Target

Another great VoxBox was received from Influenster a few weeks ago filled with some new beauty goodies from Target, which I've been testing and I'm excited to share my thoughts on.

Life Lately

I had some fun plans lined up for Saturday night to celebrate a friend's birthday but caught a stomach bug and was curled up in bed until 10:30am on Sunday. No fun at all!  K went out for the birthday celebrations and had a blast. I guess the silver lining is that I got lots of rest since life lately has been insanely busy at work.

New Workout Gear

It's been years since I refreshed my workout gear and with holes in my favorite leggings, it prompted me to start the search for some affordable yet stylish and comfortable pieces to update my workout wardrobe. Breathable tank tops, supportive sports bras, and comfy tights are high up on my list.

The Weekend with Sunshine & St Patrick's Day

The weather has been all over the place lately but ended up warm and sunny during the day on Saturday and Sunday. I actually woke up on Sunday morning hustling to get ready for work thinking it was Monday, then to realize it's still the weekend so I crawled right back into bed and slept until 9:30. Bliss!
