Weekend recap in (mostly) pictures

I’m typically a woman of many words, but here’s another attempt at a weekend recap without a lot of narration. A delicious quinoa dinner (recipe to be shared very soon) Movie night Family car ride (including Lucy) on Saturday afternoon Michael’s first visit to the pool. He seemed to love it! Our Father’s Day present to MT What did you do this past weekend? Have a good...

Weekend recap (birthday bar hopping)

This past Thursday was MT’s birthday, so I wanted to make the weekend all about him. We had some cake on his actual birthday, but I made him a special dinner (chicken Parmesan) on Friday night. On Saturday night, we celebrated by doing some bar hopping in the NoDa area of Charlotte. By the way, NoDa is short for North Davidson Street, in case you’re not from these parts and you’re wondering. We started off with a visit to Heist Brewery where we enjoyed a tapas style dinner, including fire brick salmon, forked-up ahi,...

Weekend recap (Wheel of Fortune & Whole Foods)

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? It was pretty gloomy here all weekend, so I didn’t get outside with Michael as much as I would have liked. Even so, we did venture out of the house a good bit. On Saturday afternoon, we picked my sister Melissa up at her house and did some shopping at Buy Buy Baby. I got Michael the cutest monkey print bathing suit along with this hat. He actually gave me no option other than to buy it being that he starting chewing on it as soon as he tried it on. You chew it. You buy...

Weekend recap (my first Mother’s Day as a mommy)

Mother’s Day is officially my new favorite holiday. Here’s a little recap… On Saturday morning, I powered up for some shopping at the mall with a green smoothie while MT and Michael ran a top secret errand. Let me just say that I had an absolute blast on my shopping trip! I got a lot of new things and cannot stop looking at everything. Later in the afternoon, we took a family trip to the farmer’s market where, you guessed it, Michael napped the entire time. We loaded up on...

Weekend recap (safe & sound)

I’m thrilled to report that this past weekend was accident-free. Well, there were a few accidents of the leaky diaper variety, but I’ll take those any day over the other kind! On Saturday afternoon, MT and I (and the baby too) attempted to go to the farmers market in Matthews, North Carolina, but once we got there, we saw that it was closed. As luck would have it, Beach Fest was going on there that day, so we took a stroll through all of the activities. MT wanted me to face my fear of clowns and have my picture taken with...

Weekend recap (accidents happen)

As of Saturday morning, I wasn’t even sure if I’d do a weekend recap because I had a feeling that it would be pretty uneventful. But a few hours later, my weekend became very eventful. After taking a walk with my mom and joining her for lunch, I was driving back home with Michael when we came to a three-way stop. I was in the middle of making a left turn when a truck came flying down the road in the direction that I was turning. The driver completely blew his stop sign and slammed right into my side of the car. He pushed my car...
