Minneapolis - Recommendations Needed!

I'm off to lovely, tropical Minnesota this weekend where the projected high is a whopping 10 degrees. My cousin, Tracy, says I'm the only one brave enough to visit Minneapolis in the dead of January. 

Good thing crazy is my middle name.

Regardless of the chilly temps, I couldn't be more excited for long talks over coffee, snuggling 6-month-old Norah, baking cookies, and new adventures with my favorite documentary loving friend.

I also really want to check off snow shoeing on my bucket list, so we'll see if we can make that happen. 




So tell me, have you been to Minneapolis/St. Paul before? 
I'd love the scoop on the best of the best that the city has to offer.

Perhaps you know a cozy cafe that we have to try or some great local restaurants/shopping?


Side note...
Anyone who replies will automatically be entered to win a 2 week cruise to the Bahamas, a van full of puppies wearing pink berets, and Starbucks skinny mochas for life.

{or just a really nice thank you e-mail?}

Let Bestie Weekend Commence!

See that sassy lady?

Yup, that's Lindsey.
My bestie.
She lives in Oklahoma.

Feel free to call her "Yins", "Yinsanator", or Linds if you'd like.. I don't think I've ever called her by her real name. :)

Isn't she stunning?

I met Linds at my very first big girl job when I lived in Oklahoma City and we clicked right away. Even though we only lived in the same city for 10 months, we developed an amazing friendship that we've kept up long distance for more than 4+ years now.

With a 5 hour gap keeping us apart, I am so ready for a reunion... and today's the day!
Adam and the dudes are hitting the road for a cabin weekend, which leaves us girls to party hardy.

Here's a little glimpse into our overly girly weekend...

.:::.:::.:::.:::.:::.

// Friday
I can't wait to bust out of here like a bat out of hell coem 5 p.m.! If it doesn't pour cats and dogs, I have a quick blog photo shoot, and then we're off to dinner on the town. Linds loves Blanc Burgers + Bottles, so we may have to go there.

Later tonight? Crafting, girl talk, Redbox, chocolate, and wine. Lots of wine.


// Saturday
Umm... sleeping in. Thank goodness that girl likes to sleep in - I'm le pooped! Once we roll around, we'll probably take Bella Beast on a super long walk or hit up my favorite Zumba class for a sweat sesh.

The afternoon will consist of a gross amount of outlet shopping (we've been know to cause serious damage), baking for my big girls night party, and crafting!

Saturday night, all the girls are coming over to my casa for a Favorite Things Party (recap next week!) - I can't wait! I've been working on lots of cute crafts, decor, and party favors!


// Sunday
Since we go to evening church, we may hit up the theater for a super cheap morning movie or head to brunch somewhere sassy.

.:::.:::.:::.:::.:::.


More than anything, I can't wait to just catch up, relax, and enjoy how effortless and easy it is to be around such a beautiful friend. Love her and can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans we get ourselves into!


What are you girls up to this weekend??

PS - I totally lied about posting my kitchen renovation! Dues to rainy weather and poor kitchen natural light this week, I plan to post next week! Stay tuned!!

Girls Night + Happy Weekend



Yup. Tonight is girls' night at the Evans casa.

The boys are all hitting up the KC Royals game, so I've taken it upon myself to invite 15 of my dearest friends (and their pups!) over for a night of yoga pants, wine, and shenanigans. Will take photos (sneak peeks on Instagram), but remember... what happens at girls night, stays at girls night!

Should be a good time.

Just in case you missed them this week....

Wishing you a lovely weekend full of ice cream cones, sunshine, and sleeping in!

Catch ya Monday for the Mingle Monday Blog Hop...

Hello Shenanigans!

Look out Oklahoma City... here I come!

That's right, I am working a half day today and then hitting the road for a girls weekend. My dear sweet bestie, Lo, is getting married in a few weeks, so we need to have one last hur-rah for her as a single lady!

I met Lo my sophomore year at Oklahoma State, and we've been completely inseparable since then. No matter if she was living in Japan or I was in San Francisco, we never missed a beat.

She is the world's most dependable best friend through thick and then. She never forgets to call, always makes time for me, dries my tears, and gives the best hugs. Not to mention, she's a total riot and has the best "farm stories" this city girl has ever heard! :)

Pretty sure this weekend is going to be one insanely fun adventure fueled by lots of vino. And giggling.
As you can imagine, I should have some stellar stories and photos for you come next week (if I ever get that damn camera cord!).

Time to par-tay!




On an unrelated note, I can only imagine what kind of trouble Adam will be getting into while his wife is out gallivanting with her favorite Okies. Lord help him.

Luckily, it's still March Madness, so he can't get into that much trouble, right?
My guess is our house will be full of boys drinking microbrews, yelling at the TV (Go Wichita State!), scratching themselves, and burping...

...or whatever boys do...

As long as I don't come home to a 2 day old pan or nachos on the counter, we'll be golden.

I kid. I made him sound like a total frat boy. Not true. In fact, hubs is a completely amazing, super responsible, classy guy. And one good looking stud *whistle whistle* (did I embarrass you, hunny?)!

Knowing Adam, he will probably play some Xbox, watch bball with the dudes, snuggle our pup, and knock out some laundry like a total boss.

I'm one lucky gal.
And if you don't believe me, I have evidence...





First off, I would like to point out that I said I was hungry for dinner already... at 4 p.m.
Good grief!

Secondly, (is secondly a word?) please disregard our pet name "wubbers". We both can't figure out how or when this started, but I think it was derived from "lover" and then spiraled out of control from there.

Thirdly, (sure why not?) I would like you to take a moment and look at the gourmet dinner he surprised me with. I cam home to a super clean house, goat cheese and veggie stuffed chicken in the oven, and wine chilling. Way better than that lame homemade pizza I suggested.

You better believe he earned some major hubby points.


Have a beyond amazing weekend...
Catch ya next week for some Mingle Monday Blog Hop!
