Road Trip!

This weekend my little family and I are off to Cannon Beach, Oregon to celebrate our 2-year wedding anniversary!  It's our baby's first road trip!  I'm excited to cruise the beach, enjoy some (hopefully) fog-free sunsets, and relax with my lovies. 

Have a sweet weekend!


Happy Weekend

Happy weekend!  It's going to be another hot one here in Seattle.  We've been blessed with glorious sunny weather for pretty much the entire month of July, it's been excellent!  You won't find this pregnant girl complaining too much about the heat, I'd rather have sun than downpour any day, and luckily I've been fortunate enough to feel cool and mostly comfortable in spite of the climbing temps.

Tomorrow marks 1-month from our due date!!  I can hardly believe it, our last few months and weeks of pregnancy have flown by.  The nursery is pretty much ready (sans a little cleaning to organize some clutter), we're over halfway through our 6-week childbirth class series, and today we toured the hospital where I'll be delivering.  Aside from adding a few odds and ends to our hospital bag, I'd say we're ready to go.  CRAZY!?!  

Also - tomorrow is our big family baby shower.  My sisters, cousin and her family, aunt and uncle all flew up from Southern California to celebrate with us, and join in the baby festivities.  It should be a good time soaking up the summer sun with family and close friends.  

Have yourself a sweet weekend - stay cool!

Wedding Weekend

Happy early weekend!  My husband and I are off to Michigan tonight for his cousin's wedding this weekend.  Looking forward to cruising Ann Arbor for the first time, soaking up some Mid-western sunshine, and celebrating Alan & Lindsay with his family.  

Have a wonderful weekend!

Spring Cleaning Weekend

Happy weekend my friends!  It is a gorgeous day today in Seattle, blue, cloudless skies, 66-degrees, and people are out and about, soaking it all in.  This weekend, my husband and I have plans to de-clutter and clean the basement (What a perfect activity for a fair-weather weekend, right?).  We're hoping to reorganize, clean, and purge some of our old junk before we tackle the baby's room.  Then, Easter dinner with my family on Sunday, and perhaps an egg hunt too, if we're lucky!

So excited it's Friday!
What are you up to this weekend?

Big Sky

My family and I are off to Big Sky, Montana today to enjoy some R & R mountainside.  Can't wait for the fresh mountain air, lazy nights in front of the fire, warm cozy socks, and some quality family time.

Enjoy President's Day weekend!  Hopefully it's a long one for you as well.

Happy Weekend

It's the weekend!  Hooray!  This morning, I slept into to ripe old hour of 8:00 AM (compared to my daily alarm blast at 5:15, this was heavenly).  A sign that I'm getting old?  Perhaps...

Some links, thoughts, and musings on this foggy Saturday morning, as I'm curled up on the couch alongside my cat, catching up on hulu, while dreaming of a piping hot brunch.  Anyone want to deliver any of these delectable eats to my doorstep?








Figured it couldn't hurt to ask?  Cereal it is!




November Weekend

What a fun fall weekend!  Friday night, we celebrated my best friends' engagement at the Novely Hill Januik Winery with an elegant dinner in the barrel room, complete with "How well do you know the couple?" trivia, fine wine, and decadent desserts.  

Saturday, my husband and I double-dated with my parents to see the new Ben Affleck movie, Argo.  The movie was incredibly gripping, suspenseful, and had you at the edge of your seat, wondering, What's going to happen next?  It was very good, I'd recommend it!

Sunday, we readied our house for some home improvements happening next week, some pipe repairs in our basement and a slough of new windows that are going to be installed.  

How was your weekend?

July Weekend

This weekend my girlfriends and I saw Magic Mike - and all I can say is...WOW Channing Tatum can dance!  Damn...  We had limey margarita and delish Mexican food before hand at this cantina with a view.  Also happening this weekend, one of my closest friends was induced to have her first baby!   We're all anxiously awaiting a text or email to announce little baby G's arrival, so excited!!

In the meantime, here's a few links that caught my eye from around the web this week...

Happy Weekend + Link Love

Happy Weekend!  I'm so excited for an extra day off to relax and soak up some quality time with my husband.  We're off to take a ferry ride to the San Juan Islands.  The last time I was at this particular island, I was a high school camper.  My bunkmates and I sailed there and set up a tarp tent and campfire on the beach.  Needless to say, my return visit will surely be a little different!  What are you up to this weekend?

Link love from around the web....


+ guacamole bruschetta?  yes, please!





+ spicy peanut and chicken quesadillas

Sunny Weekend

We have a forecast of pure sunshine this weekend, I'm soo excited!  Our weather is always so unpredictable here in Seattle, we tend jump for joy when a "chance of rain" doesn't grace the forecast.   Outdoor activities planned: re-planting flower boxes, a day hike with friends, and soaking up sunshine on the deck.

yes, please!

Happy Weekend

My spring break is drawing to a close, but it has been one relaxing week, that's for sure! This weekend I'm attending a fundraiser for a mission trip to Tanzania on Friday and a double date night with friends of ours. Hopefully I'll be rested and ready to go back to school on Monday...

Spring Break!

Jump for joy - it's Spring break!!  That means no school for me all next week!  YAHOO!  While I have no travel plans for my week off, I'm excited to relax, recharge, and catch up on some Zzzzz's!  My plans include a long to-do list of household projects, DIY creations for a friend's wedding, coffee + dinner plans with friends, and perhaps reading a new book or two.  I'm psyched to have ample time to check some boxes off my to-do list!  

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Weekend

Hoping there is a crisp, sunny weekend in store.  Cross your fingers for us up here in Seattle, I've been reading about the east coast's bout of warm weather right now - and not going to lie, I'm a wee bit jealous!

I am so happy the weekend is here.  My report cards are complete, envelopes stuffed, and out of my hands, HALLELUJAH!  Translation: this means, I have the whole weekend to relax and have the option to leave my computer tucked away in its case all weekend should I choose. What a great feeling!

I'm looking forward to some much-needed shopping using belated birthday gift cards, maybe finish my book, run errands.  It sounds blissfully uneventful, and I'm quite excited for just that.

What are you up to?


One Crazy Week

Hello out there!  Phew, this has been one crazy week.  A little bit draining, emotionally exhausting,  and oh boy, am I glad it is Friday!  

My husband's birthday is next Monday so we're going out tonight to celebrate with friends. And, in honor of the commencement of March Madness, we're having a jersey party (as in sports jerseys, not Jersey Shore, just to be clear).  Should be a fun, casual evening with friends and family.
I'm excited!

Big Sky

I just returned from a long Presidents Day weekend with my family in Big Sky, Montana.  This was my first visit to the great state of Montana, and it was quite memorable!   I'm telling you, the mountain air here is exhilaratingly fresh.  Inhaling deep gulps of fresh mountain air beneath a clear, starry sky felt simply wonderful!

My parents rented a sweet house in Moonlight Basin where we could literally ski in and out of, talk about convenient!  We spent our vacation skiing during the day and enjoying hot tubbing, après-ski cocktails, and cozy nights in.  Bliss.  Can't wait to go back!


Weekend Getaway

This weekend I'm jetting away for a quick wine tasting weekend with my girlfriends in Santa Barbara.  It's a quick trip so I'll be back at it Monday morning, but I'm very much looking forward to a few days of warm sunshine, the company of my college friends, and vino!

Cheers!
Hope you have a great weekend!
