Weekending Snaps

via


Happy Monday friends!! We’re one weekend closer to Christmas & 2017, which is both exciting and terrifying all at once! Amazon packages have been steadily arriving & that wont be stopping anytime soon!! So close to being done…how’s everyone else’s shopping coming along!? Here are a few snaps from the weekend that included a lot of holiday stuff! 


Friday wrapped up a week full of holiday parties with Gary’s work party!! It was at the Seaport Hotel again this year – one of the only venues that can hold that many people at one time! There’s something to be said for a company that allows spouses & plus ones to hang out too! 

Distillery in Boston

Jackie & I are working on another styled shoot – this time at Short Path Distillery. We had a meeting on Saturday morning with Christina the photographer & one of the owners to talk through some logistics – we may or may not have ended the meeting with a little tasting!

Boston Back Bay

Back Bay Boston


I took the afternoon to get some shopping done & took my time strolling through Back Bay. If you ever need a little holiday spirit, just take a stroll around here!! Every house is more decked out than the one before! 


Jackie put together a super fun holiday brunch & stroll on Sunday through Cambridge with every mini treat you could imagine – it was the best way to spend Sunday afternoon! 


Does anyone else feel like December is flying by at warp speed? I made it a point to actually sit back and relax on the couch – don’t judge (or do) but I watched the entire new season Fuller House – just as cheesy as the first one, but for some reason I still get sucked in!

Hope this week is filled with all the best friends!! Link up below to share your weekends with us!

    December is going by waaaaaaaay too fast, I keep saying it needs to slow down. I watched the first 2 episodes of Fuller House this weekend, super cheesy but I love it πŸ™‚

    That is awesome that Gary's work lets spouses and plus ones, that's not very common these days!

    Your weekend sounds absolutely perfect! I feel like Chris and I haven't had the chance to drive around and see all of the holiday decorations and Christmas is 2 weeks away! We made plans to do that this weekend, so that's good! And hooray for Christmas parties with spouses! It really is amazing how few companies do Christmas parties with significant others anymore. I hope that your Monday is off to a great start!

    All of those front doors are so pretty! They know how to decorate well for Christmas – I love it. It's definitely given me some ideas for how to decorate the front of our house (because yes, we're that slack and haven't gotten to it yet!) Happy Monday!

    That's awesome that Gary's work party allowed for spouses! Eddie's NEVER does and I get so jelly because they have such extravagant parties and me and all the other wives get so pissed, haha. Hoping they'll change that soon because it really is nice to see people they tend to talk about when they share their day and all. Back Bay reminds me so much of Park Slope, Brooklyn!!! It's so charming and festive, definitely a nice place to take a stroll during the holidays. I also feel like time is flying. I'm excited for Christmas to come, but then again I feel that as soon as it comes, it'll be gone before we know it πŸ™ So, I'm trying my best to really enjoy every day and the season as much as I can at a slower pace. Anyway, thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you have the best week ahead!

    love your outfit for Gary's work party – i totally agree about companies who allow/encourage spouses to come as well, it's such a nice gesture i think. and i had no idea there would be a second season of fuller house, i can't wait to binge watch it. right now, as we are in the basement, we only have 1 tv so it will have to wait until we are out and have 2 tvs in separate rooms. because football wins over fuller house lol. boo.

    A holiday brunch and stroll sounds amazing! No one does those here – I suppose there aren't many places to "stroll" but I'd be down for the brunch part! My shopping is done! I bought way too much…I mean, these kids are going to get more from us and all the donors than they can even imagine!
