Weekend Recap: Labor Day Weekend 2014

Happy Labor Day!! 

I have been fortunate to have the last five days off and today I am sharing with you

 some of what I have been up to!

:: F R I D A Y ::

I mentioned that Friday my hubby and I were going to hit the outlets

 and do a little bit of shopping and we sure found some great deals!! 

He got multiple pairs of dress pants for school for $15 including brands like 

Banana Republic and Calvin Klein. 

I found some new shoes for work (I love the stripes, so fun!!!) and some great Fall pieces!

Everything at Banana Republic was 50% off and it was hard not to go too crazy!! 

:: S A T U R D A Y ::

Saturday we celebrated my niece, Addyson, turning two!!

We had a party in the park and she loved it!

She was so fun to watch open her presents and was so excited about each one.

I may be biased but I think she is the cutest!!

:: S U N D A Y ::

We have been a little behind on laundry so Sunday consisted of multiple loads of laundry 

and then a trip to Costco.

Have you tried these barkThins?? They are amazing!! Perfect for when you want a 

little chocolate fix... dark chocolate, sea salt and almond! YUM!!!

Later, we took advantage of the nice weather and went to the park down the road and played some tennis while the pups hung out watching kids play.

The night and the weekend were finished with some reading on our back deck.

It was such a gorgeous evening!!

It was a great relaxing holiday weekend!

I would love to hear what you did!! :)

Excited to link up with Biana from B Loved Boston for the first time! 

She is great!!!

Weekend Recap: Carrell/Sheeter Wedding

This weekend was my college roommate's wedding was this weekend and we had a BLAST!!! The weather could not have been more perfect and everything was absolutely gorgeous. I am so happy for my two friends!

Friday of course was rehearsal and Saturday the wedding. Sunday we stopped at Tyler's parents house  for Mother's Day where we hung out and then had some dinner.

The bridesmaids at the wedding wore wrap dresses... it is one dress that is able to be tied numerous ways! An example of some styles tied on myself are shown below. My plan is to have a blog posting with a tutorial on how to tie your own dress! It is such an awesome piece to have in your closet because it is like a new dress each time!

Hope you had a great weekend!!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Weekend Recap: Happy May 2014

This weekend was full of randomness but good times spent with good friends and family!
Here is the recap!


Friday night: We went out to eat with some friends at this yummy restaurant: Blue Water Grill. It was kind of a cloudy day/night, but it sits right on the water and I am sure its a great spot in the summer time!


Saturday: Tyler was on call for his PICC line job and was pretty busy so I cleaned up around the house and have my closet-room ALMOST complete; just needs the curtains hung! (I have been working on turning one of our spare bedrooms in to a giant closet for ME!! I will post the pictures once it is all complete! :) ) Saturday night I got together with some friends from work to say "see ya next time" to one of our co-workers who is leaving to start med school!

**sneak peek of the closet:

Sunday: Grand Rapids has four museums and on Sunday they had a "Museums Free 4 All" day, where you could visit each museum for free and enjoy some fun activities. My sister-in-law and brother came up and we took my niece to the Children's museum, she loved it!!

Weekend Recap: Easter 2014

Tyler and I hosted Easter at our house for the 3rd year in a row 

with my family and it was a blast! 

The weather turned out beautiful! 

We had an Easter egg hunt for my niece and she loved it.

Sunday we spent time with Tyler's family and his new nephew.

It was a busy weekend but great spending quality family time!

How was your weekend!?

Weekend Recap: "Livin' with my ladies, hash tag Live"

Have you heard the new song: "#SELFIE" by The Chainsmokers?
It is too funny!! It has a fun beat and talks about taking selfies and silly girl talk.
At first I wasn't too sure about it but it has kind of grown on me!
Check it out here.

This past weekend was the bachelorette party for one of my best friends (whose wedding I am in, coming so soon, in May!!) and this song inspired my title for today's blog post as Saturday night was a ladies night out on the town in honor of her! Here is a recap of the night via photos! The night was too much fun complete with jello shots, a party bus, bull riding, plenty of dancing and a rowdy bar!

Did you have a good weekend!?!?

Did you do anything fun and exciting??

Hopefully you enjoyed the beautiful weather!

Weekend Recap

Last week was a little extra busy with me and my husband both working an extra shift, yet this weekend made up for it as we had lots of fun with close friends!! I would say there were some themes to the weekend: pizza, friends, and board/card games! And, the weather warmed up and it was nice to see the sunshine! 

Friday night was spent sitting on the edge of our seats watching the final minutes of both the Michigan and then the Michigan State games. Two great wins (only to break everyone's hearts on Sunday-- boo!!)

Saturday we got together with some girls I work with (and who are my close friends as well)! Last year we started a kind of tradition with pizza night. It is a friendly competition where each couple creates a pizza to their liking and everyone samples all the pieces and chooses a "winner". It is a lot of fun and afterwards we play games and drink wine/beer!! :)

This year before we got our game night on, my friend's girls taught us how to loom!

Sunday turned out to be a nice day with some sunshine so we took the dogs for a walk. Right now we are watching a dog of one of the physicians I work with too. This is them enjoying some sunshine! (There is MUCH needed spring yard clean up to do!)

That night we went to a friend's house for a monthly get together where we all have a dinner together and then hang out and play board/card games! This month we all chipped in for pizza.  I can't wait until it warms up and we can start grilling out!!
