Weekend Happenings

Jul 1, 2013

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a fab weekend. We had a lovely time in Charlotte and I am headed back to Charleston solo. My parents offered to watch Sterling for a few days for me so I could finally paint our den and get some work done. I have not been by myself for three days in a row since before Sterling was born- I am seriously worried I am going to be lonely. I have attachment issues, but I know it is good for both of us to spend some time apart.  So wish me luck in my 3 solo days.

Now on to our weekend.  We spent alot of time with my sweet nephew Finley.  I honestly can’t get enough of him.  He is just the sweetest baby ever- much more chill than Sterling ever was!  I got alot of practice in for juggling two kids and let me tell you this is going to be interesting!

I reached my 19th week of pregnancy this past week, this week marks my official halfway point. Crazy, I remember the second half of my pregnancy with Sterling flying by so I guess I need to get on some nursery decorating.

Did a little shopping with my mom and scored this fabulous jacket at JCrew.  It was originally $140 and I got it for $20 (I talked my mom into getting herself one too).  I love deals like that!

It is light weight and reminded a bit of a Chanel jacket.

Of course we could not forget my sweet little man.  I swear shopping for boys age 3 and up is nearly impossible, the pickings are slim. Crewcuts is honestly my favorite place to shop for him and really the only place we shop.  He was very proud of his picks:)

This is what was in Sterling’s shopping bag, he wore his whole ensemble to church.

{Gingham Shirt, White Shorts, Leather Driving Mocs}

We also got him this Neon Sweatshirt which is bright orange and the cutest thing ever on! Can you tell orange is Sterling’s new favorite color?

I got a much needed pedi and used Essie’s Bachelorette Bash.  The perfect pink for Summer.  Still rocking my Enzo Snakeskin Sandals, I have certainly gotten my moneys worth out of them!

While I was getting my nails done I browsed Oprahs’ magazine which if I am being honest was really boring.  Not much I wanted to read, but I did come across this amazing salad dressing recipe from her chef.  He said he uses it on Arugula salads and quinoa.  It sounded so delicious to me.

and because it is Monday and I have to admit I have really been missing my wine, this made me laugh so hard!

xoxo

    I hope little Sterling is feeling better! I made your Greek dip from last week and it was fantastic, I could of licked the plate!

  3. Aww hope the little man is feeling better. And cannot wait for you to share the recipe for that delicious looking bread!

  4. Awww. Poor Sterling. I hate fevers more than anything else. They scare me even though I know it's the bodies natural way to fight infection. My kids get them too but mostly in the winter.

    I love Hornitos tequila. 😉

  5. girl, don't feel bad. I was horrified at the things we found hiding under rugs and furniture when we moved. I guess just shifting things a bit to vacuum doesn't really cut it!

  6. I love the farmer's market in Charleston, especially the crepe truck, ok and the donuts. I will be down there this weekend and plan to hit it up!

  7. I hope Sterling is feeling better!

  8. Mandy says:

    Gosh I admire how often you cook and bake for your family. I really need some motivation to do that because i'm slackin in that department. I hope Sterling feels better, its awful when the kids are sick, I can totally relate. Hope your week gets better!

  9. i love that you celebrated national tequila day. How could I have missed the memo!! bummer!

  14. Taylor says:

    So sorry about the little one. Poor thing! Can't believe I didn't know it was national tequila day! Maybe I'll have a belated celebration tonight?

  15. Laura says:

    poor little man!! glad you all survived okay!! fevers are so scary!

  16. Val says:

    Looks, like a very tasty looking weekend! I went to our local farmers market this weekend and I left there feeling so happy…it's amazing what a good looking tomato can do for my soul!! I hope your little man feels better soon!!

  17. megan says:

    That dirt makes me think about the rediculous amount of dog hair that accumulates in our house. I'm always scared to lift the couch because I know the amount of hair under there will be equal the amount of another dog.
    Poor Sterling! I hope he feels better real soon!

  18. Few things…

    Poor Sterling (and you!). Hope he feels better too. Text me later so I know how it went at the dr. He's SO cute.
    We love the farmers market, Lilly likes the donuts 🙂
    Blueberry bread looks like heaven.
    And that rug is crazy! I have one too and am scared to look now. Though it's in a very low traffic room…

  19. Love the downtown farmers market. My husband still doesn't understand why I wouldn't just go to the grocery store though… Hope your little one is feeling better.

  20. Lisa Fergus says:

    okay first off, I hope your little man is okay!!!
    Can't wait for the blueberry bread recipe!! and those market picks look great! I love the one right up the street from my house!

  21. Tess says:

    I'm sorry your little baby was so sick this weekend. A 104 temp cannot be fun. Hopefully he is on the mend today! I wish I would have known that yesterday was National Tequila Day – I totally would have helped celebrate!

  22. Megan says:

    You're market finds look sensational… I would have never thought of sweet potato and bean salad so thanks for sharing that one! Hope you're little nugget is feeling better and cheers to Nat'l Tequila Day!!

  23. I am sorry your baby was sick but that outfit is precious!!! I am always looking for cute boy clothes (why do these not exist at reasonable prices???)

  24. National tequila day?! However did I miss this?! Sounds like fun!

  25. Aww hope your little man feels better! The food looks amazing!

  26. The Bee says:

    Is it totally wrong of me to say "thank you" for posting the pic of the remnants of the sea grass rug? Now I don't feel so bad about what I posted on my blog a couple of weeks ago….Glad I am not the only one to post such stuff…lol 🙂
