Gratitude Lately


Lately I've been thankful for gooey Farm-to-Table grilled cheese sandwiches and dining al fresco with friends on unseasonably cool summer days.



For the reminder that sometimes the best views are up.



For tiny gold initials worn around my neck to remind me of the one I love countries away.



For tequila + girl chat at a swanky spot. Two things that should always go together.



For treats in cones and the sprinkles that make them twice as merry.



For new adventures in the city that has stolen my heart and the colorful sites along the way.



For home cooked meals on the patio, and for the ability to google 
"how to put out a grease fire in the oven" quickly.



For snuggly Beasts who like to be the little spoon.

(L to R: Erin, Meredith, Kari, Megan, Angela, Mandy )

For new communities that have brought about friends in the most unconventional way.



For furry companions who can type excel spreadsheets like a boss.



For exploring new gems nestled deep in the city, and the breakfast bounty they provide
which makes it all worth it.



For weekly Monday Family Dinners sharing Big Chewy Monster Cookies and stories
that make our bellies ache.



For checking things off the summer bucket list, especially when they are blackberry + lavender flavored.

Here's to gratitude and how it makes life fuller, and the smallest things more than enough.

Weekend Outlook + Have a Brave One!

Hello, sweet weekend, I have missed you!
Every single day this week, I have woken up thinking it was Saturday like some kind of cruel joke. Then I would drudge away at work trying not to count the minutes that needed to tick by until 5 o'clock.

Please tell me I wasn't the only one this week...



Well, praise the Great Lion of Judah, the weekend is finally here.
I can't wait to celebrate with some fun plans and a whole lot of relaxing. Here's what's happening...


Friday //
Tonight, Ally and I are finally going to make it down to Westport to try out the acclaimed food at Port Fonda for the first time (I know, I know... I am way late to that fiesta), and then we will be taking in some Ingrid Michaelson awesomeness at Grinders. It's going to be a spectacular night.


Saturday //
I am dog sitting for several family members, so my house will be full of pups with cold noses and I couldn't be more excited. I can imagine a trip to the dog park will be in our very near future.

 Adam has been in rural Canada this week on a business trip, so contacting each other has been slim to none with no phone service and spotty internet connection. Needless to say, I am missing my other half and can't wait to have his back home to catch-up.


Sunday //
I will be up bright and early just chilling with my cute 4th graders at Sunday school. After that we will hit up what my girls call "big church", and hopefully going to see a movie. The Hundred-Foot Journey has been calling my name ever since I saw the trailer, and I can't wait to revel in this foodie film.




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

I hope you are braver this weekend than a Beast flying through the waves chasing her beloved stick.
Let's catch up for Mingle Monday and share our adventures, okay?


See you there, brave ones.
