Things That Make Me Happy – 17

Happy Thursday! Welcome to this month’s “Things That Are Making Me Happy”!

  • Gals dinner at Pineapples and Pearls 
  • I love this idea of a Puppy Party!
  • Catching up with friends (and sistahs) from my college days! 
  • Lots and lots of family time. We are so fortunate to have so many guests coming to see us this summer! This week Aunt Christy (Tommy’s eldest sister visited us from Sunday through yesterday morning and my dad, his wife Efa, and their son, Remy also came in on Sunday and leave Friday for Texas). Needless to say, Ava has LOVED all of the commotion, cuddles, and giggles at our house.
  • During-the-Week Pedicures 
  • I’m getting pretty excited about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that opens to the general public on Friday. I’m a lot more “strategic” this year on things I’m considering buying – I created a Pinterest Board to keep me focused!

Here are some past “Things That Make Me Happy” posts if you would like to see – here, here, here, here, and here.

Tuesday Tidbits – 251

Happy Tuesday ya’ll!

  1. Kind of sad, not gonna lie. I remember when there were a ton of cheap HHs (happy hours) in the city.
  2. I had a work retreat at Kent Manor Inn on the Eastern Shore last week. 
  3. Listen to your Graduation Playlist. (The biggest hits from the year you graduated).
  4. I’m starting to think of things to pack in my Hospital Go Bag for Luke. Any suggestions?
  5. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens to the general public this Friday – this is one of the items I’m eyeing.

Hope you have a great day!

Luke’s Baby Shower Recap

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a fun and restful one. I wouldn’t say mine was restful per se, as I was coming off a 3-day work retreat on Friday afternoon and was on single parent duty for the weekend since Tommy made a quick trip to Portland, Maine for his youngest sister’s surprise birthday party. Now we have a houseful of guests this week (my dad, his wife, their son, and Tommy’s oldest sister, Christy, for a couple of days). Loving it – summer is definitely in full swing!

Two weekends ago, Luke (and I) were given the sweetest and most beautiful baby shower by four of my dearest friends – Christina, Arlene, Allison, and Tiffany – at my house. [Read more…]

Hope You Had a Great 4th!

Happy Thursday and day after America’s birthday! I must say, even though I am taking today and tomorrow off from work (but probably still checking emails periodically), it does seems weird to me that we had a day off yesterday, but we still have 2 more days until the weekend. [Read more…]

Weekend Recap – Trip to Dallas for a Baby Shower

Happy Hot Monday folks!

Hope you all had a good weekend. I sure did, as I spent my weekend in Dallas celebrating a dear friend’s daughter-to-be come this October by co-hosting her baby shower, eating lots of good food, and seeing friends and family! [Read more…]

Asheville Trip Recap

Earlier this month, Tommy, Ava, and I took a long weekend trip to Asheville, NC with another family – a former work colleague of mine, Kathryn, her husband Matt, and their daughter Addie. Ava and Addie are only 2 weeks apart and are great friends. It was the first time either family had been to Asheville (and with toddlers) so we were excited to see what this great city had to offer, but we managed expectations on all that we would be able to do with toddlers in tow.

Weekend Recap – Belated Birthday Dinner, Lavender Farm, and Father’s Day

Happy Monday! Hoping you had a wonderful weekend and a great yesterday celebrating the fathers and father-figures in your life. Our weekend was pretty jam-packed, so I thought it would be fun to share a weekend recap with you today – since I haven’t done one in awhile. [Read more…]
