Wow. I went a whole week with no new blog posts, and it’s already time for another weekend recap! This last week & weekend was super busy, but the good kind of busy. I know I kind of failed at updating the blog, but- the good news is I did a lot of blog-related projects, which means I have some good things in store for the future. So stay tuned :)
Thursday my bestie came to stay with me for the tail-end of her spring break, which means I was a very happy girl all weekend. I love her visits! Thursday night after work she and I went to a local bar to play pool. We are no good, so what should be a 15 minute game is a 45 minute game for us. (And, we of course, are chatting and laughing the whole time.) We had $1 tacos and beers which felt like college again.
Friday after work we BBQed on the deck and sipped on mason jar drinks. The weather was a tad chilly, but since I’m so eager to enjoy the deck this year- I didn’t mind it one bit. The night carried on wonderfully as we talked, laughed, played games and danced around the kitchen.
Saturday was crazy busy for us ladies in the kitchen! My mom came over and we all spent most of the day baking! I have a delicious, wonderful, aaahmazing treat to share soon:) Aside from that, we also baked a chocolate cake for a family friend’s birthday. We made sure to give ourselves a break with a card game and some spring sangria. (Which, I will also be sharing soon!)
Decorating a chocolate frosted cake doesn’t always look as good as decorating a cake frosted in vanilla, so I decided to try out an idea I found on Pinterest. I basically just cut out a large W (the first initial of the birthday boy’s name) from printer paper and placed it over the cake. I sprinkled powdered sugar to make the W and carefully removed the paper. It’s by no means perfect, but I like how it turned out.
The birthday party was a blast. My family is crazy. We had dinner, cake, and a competitive game of Pictionary on the Wii. My nephew and brother ended up having a dance off in the living room which was quite possibly one of the funniest things ever. I was laughing nonstop the whole time.
Sunday, we took our coffee to go and went to church. We came home, had breakfast and my bestie left back to school. What a busy weekend! I can’t wait to share what I’ve been working on!
Hope you all had a great Monday. Here’s to a new week!
