Weekend Update!

Hey ladies!  How was your weekend?  Ours was wonderful.  Lots of goodies to share.  We went to the zoo on Saturday and the polar bear was so playful!  She kept hiding in the corner and then popping out into view and all the kids got such a kick out of it.


It used to be that weekends were the times when I got all gussied up.  Now with an almost toddler, weekends are when I don't shower!  But it's still important to me to get dressed and look put together, so I pop my hair in a bun and throw on some lipstick and go.  Here's what I wore on our trip to the zoo...easy, comfortable and stylish!


T was such a good little walker this weekend.  He gets a little anxious when we make him walk outside but he was a trooper.


So we've had all these great ideas for this summer, but we never remember them!  We usually use our blackboard for menu ideas but if truth be told we never keep it up to date.  I saw this on pinterest and was inspired.  Ours is not nearly as cool.  But nonetheless, we got to work immediately with our list!


The pride parade was in our neighborhood this weekend.  And so of course, we needed to check it out. Talinn was very enrapt.


After our two hour nap (all of us!), we hurried to the swimming pool so we could get a quick swim in before it closed.  All T does is splash and splash and splash!


After we got out, he was cold so we got some good snuggles out of him!


And last but not least I found the coolest ombre flower in it's natural state.  This flower is absolutely gorgeous!


How was your weekend?  I hope it was wonderful and that you guys are taking every advantage of summer!  I'm joining a couple blog hops this week.

  3. Way to look so fabulous with no shower! Serious kudos to you. I love the summer list on the chalkboard. We have a chalkboard too, and sometimes I have NO idea of what to write on it, but I'm loving this and may have to try it! Glad you had a great weekend :)
