Sterling turned 7 on Thursday! It is hard to believe he is 7 now and growing up so fast! He is such a sweet boy with a heart of gold. 

He requested dinner at Ellis Creek Fish Camp for his birthday dinner.  

Friday my mom and I did some shopping DT.

My Equipment blouse is now 60% off.

We spied Frances Moon at Pink Chicken.

We picked up lunch at The Daily and had the Lemon Cayenne Honey shot- so good!

Found the cutest cover-up at Lilly.   I ended up buying this dress instead but loved the cover-up.

Also loved these cover-ups.

Friday night my sister and I went out to dinner with some friends.  

Blouse | Earrings | Jeans | Pumps

 Saturday morning we had a birthday party for Sterling.  His two requests were that it be at his favorite park and he wanted a pinata.

 We saw the most gorgeous sunset that night.

Sunday we went to SEWE.  Always such a fun time!  

Shout out to my friend Cindy who we met there with her girlfriends- loved chatting! 

The boys were so excited to ride the camel!

Frances loved the petting zoo.

My sister and I had a craving for nachos and we whipped up some yummy chicken ones for dinner that night.

Cousin bath in the sink:)

Have a great Monday!!

We started the weekend off with playgroup Friday afternoon.  We all have been so busy this Summer our play groups have been hard to schedule.  It was great to catch up, enjoy a glass of wine and let the kids play.

I always like to serve some fun snacks for the ladies.  My sister turned me on to pickled okra stuffed with pimento cheese. It is so easy and so tasty!

Table Runner is World Market

I love this picture my friend Krystine snapped of me and Frances Moon.  It is definitely a framer.  I mentioned my dress Saturday, Frances Moon’s dress is Target (on clearance for $10)

To beat the heat we got a cheap pool from Walmart.  We have a neighborhood pool but Frances is so wild these days with no fear that it is hard for me to take the kids alone if Matt is not home.  The cheap pool was a genius idea, the kids loved.

Afterwards Frances decided to read my new Vogue:)  She is deep in thought about Fall fashion.

I hit up the Farmers Market with the kids Saturday morning and used my goodies to make my first ever Panzanella.  I will share the recipe soon!

I have been getting so much wear out of this white fringe top from Loft.

White Festival Fringe Top

Necklace is Theodosia

Saturday night we met some friends out for dinner with the kids.  Frances had a major blow out and of course I was unprepared with no clothes, I figured we were past the blow out stage.  So Frances enjoyed dinner in her diaper.  She obviously could care less.

Sunday we were finally able to make it to church.  We have been traveling so much lately that it had been a few weeks since we had been.  Felt good to get back

Loft Dress + JCrew shoes (on major sale)

Our boat has been broken most of the Summer.  Anyone who owns a boat knows what a money pit they are!!  Always something wrong.  We fnally got her fixed and we were all loaded up and ready for a boat ride when a storm rolled through.  Just our luck.

I was all ready for the boat in my LemLem Tunic.

Lem Lem Tunic (same style different colors) + Shorts

I made some nibbles for the ride that we enjoyed anyways.

Tortellini + mozzarella balls + cherry tomatoes + pesto

Once the storm cleared we took the kids to the Yacht Club to play.

Matt gave Frances a kit kat and she was in heaven.  She is like nobody touch my kit kat.

Here’s to Monday.

We had a lovely weekend and I hope y’all did too.

My friend English hosted a trunk show down here this weekend and Frances Moon and I met her for a quick lunch to catch up.  I picked out this necklace from her new collection.  How gorgeous is it?

Friday we met up with my parents for Happy Hour.  They were down here with two other couples for the weekend.

Frances had her first Popsicle and its safe to say it was a hit. Wearing all white was not the best move but thank goodness for bleach.

Frances Moon Top

Saturday morning Sterling was supposed to have a soccer game but because of all the rain it was canceled.  Since we were up anyways we headed to our favorite bagel spot- Bagel Nation for a delicious breakfast. I like the bacon, egg and cheese with a side of jalapeno cheddar cream cheese.

Saturday we worked around the house and then headed to a cookout that night.  I made my new favorite side dish | Asparagus Bundles with Prosciutto.   The recipe is in the new Ina Garten cookbook.

My sister in law had a bubble machine Frances was obsessed with.

Sunday I took the kids to church and rocked my JCrew dress.  Loving it so much I kind of want the navy now.

Had to snap a shot of these two angels after church.  This is one of our favorite doors as we walk to church, such a pretty color.

Ended the weekend with my loves outside before the storm hit last night!

Blouse  (also in navy)  | Jeans

Believe.

The past few weekends have been so nice because we have had no real plans.  The older I get the more I enjoy our nights in.  I still love to go out but since I was out both Wednesday and Thursday nights with my girlfriends this week I was so glad to hang with the family and have a low key weekend!

Friday morning I had Sterling snap a picture of Frances Moon and I before we headed school.  He is quite the camera man.  I was loving our JCREW outfits and had to share.

Swing Sweater (on sale plus additional 40% off)  | Heart Top | Chevron Leggings | FP Mocs

Matt went fishing Friday night and I enjoyed a much needed relaxing evening in.  I ordered a pizza, devoured my new Elements of Style Book and watched the movie Love and Other Drugs on Oxygen. Not gonna lie I was a happy lady.  I love a good girly night.

Saturday the weather was just glorious so we spent most of the day outside.

Wearing my new Shopbop Sale purchases:

RayBan Glasses | Rag and Bone V-Neck Tee

Frances is trying so hard to walk.  She always wants us to hold her hands and walk with her.

We carved our pumpkins that night and decided the save the seeds to roast the next day.  They were so delicious.  The key is letting them dry out overnight.  I cooked ours with 2 tablespoons melted butter, salt, pepper and cayenne and they were so good!

Our dinner spread Saturday night.  Matt cooks the best filet ever.  I decided to spice up my roasted Brussels sprouts with prosciutto and it was a genius idea.

 

Saturday my cougar crush Zac Efron turned 27, had to give him a Birthday Shout out. Made me not feel quite so old that we are only 6 years apart.  Enjoy the eye candy my friends.  I need to rent The Neighbors just to look at this bod.

 Sunday the kids got up at the crack of dawn and would not go back to bed, so we decided to take them to the Yacht Club to watch the sunrise.  It was beautiful and such a special start to our day.  I love catching a gorgeous sunrise, reminds me how good God is.

I love this picture of Sterling in his witch hat watching.  

Sunday night we went to an oyster roast at my friend Krystine’s house and she did it up right!

If  notice some Christmas decor it is because she is part of the Home Depot Holiday challenge!  Check out her blog for more details!

 

Snapped the cutest picture of Matt and Frances.

Of course she wouldn’t smile for my picture or even look at the camera.

Rag and Bone Tee | DL 1961 Jeans | Rag and Bone Booties

and because I am so excited it was cool enough to put my sweet girl in tights.  

Loving this outfit on her.

Monday calls for a laugh and grocery shopping in this house:)
