Long Weekend Delight


Happy Tuesday friends!! Three days off sure do give you just enough time to have fun, be productive and relax!! A little peek into what kept us busy this weekend!




Lots of good food//


We ate a variety of food this weekend…but my favorite was probably the crab bites from Cheesecake Factory!! 


Picked out a beautiful sari to wear during our friends wedding in India next month – I’m in love with the color and can’t wait to share!


Goodbye party for a friend moving back to France//Dollar Spot wins for Valentine’s Day// A Monday spent cleaning…but it’s so clean now // Rewarding myself with beautiful flowers


I also picked up a few things for our trip…sharing a packing list with you all tomorrow! 

Always nice starting a week on a Tuesday! Hope today is great for you!

    A friend moving back to France gives you the perfect reason to plan a trip and visit! That chambray top from Marshalls looks so cute – can't wait to see what you're packing!

    You know what's sad–I always end up eating too much at Cheesecake Factory, then I never have room for cheesecake! And my brain stops functioning from the food coma, so it never occurs to me to get some to go. Can't wait to hear about your upcoming trip to India, that sounds amazing!
