Thursday Thoughts with ETB | 3.12

I think...

I am unsure about the comeback of JNCO Jeans—anybody with me? #hello90s

these 80+ degree Charlotte days are making life so much enjoyable especially with the time change  

Aldi & Trader Joe’s are two of my most favorite places to get groceries –try Aldi out if you haven’t yet 

I really like the Aldi Intermingle California Red Blend Wine + its only $5.99 {prices may vary due to state & local laws} #takethattwobuckChuck

I’m going to Puerto Rico one week from today!! – I think I need to start packing

you should know that my brother and I live less than 2 miles apart, which makes it super convenient to have sibling nights

I am going to drink something green this weekend -- Maybe beer, maybe a smoothie #happyStPattysDay

linking up with Meagan has been a JOY of mine on Thursdays—you should link up too

              It's Thursday...and I am linking up with: Meagan

Weekend | March is HERE!!

What I loved about my weekend… in a nutshell

Sunshine & lots of it—I enjoyed Saturday outside at Freedom Park and spend Sunday with the air off and doors wide open

Bar class –at a new studio opening in Charlotte

Early morning shopping to avoid the crowds

Tickle fights—especially with the kiddos I babysit

Sushi goodness with friends—we may or may not have ordered 7 rolls + an app

Being a kid again playing Mario Kart & Mario Party (and of course Jack won)

Jack and I cooking Sunday dinner together + brownie sundaes

TIME CHANGE- here's to longer sunny days

What I will forget about my weekend—the horrible UNC/Duke game

How was your weekend? Did you enjoy the sunshine?

Weekend | + 2015 Grammy's

The 2015 Grammy's last night were amazing. I loved all most of the performances and singing and dancing from the couch made for a fun Sunday night. While Sara, Jen, I watched we talking during the break about the new music video from Maroon 5 "Sugar". I had heard about it, but not actually seen the video. It was awesome and I think you should watch it too!

I love SNAIL MAIL--- and handmade cards are the best

Giving Kids A Smile

Mellow Mushroom pizza-- even when they lose your take out order
