Weekend Ramblings

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. I kicked off my weekend with a cocktail party Friday night, the perfect start to a weekend!!A good time was had by all......
maybe too much of a good time!

Saturday, after I had recovered from the night before, I was all about getting things done! Dan was working, and I don't know about you, but when my hubby is gone I think I turn into some crazy work lady. I get more things done the weekends he works then I would typically get done in an entire month.

I finally hung some curtains in my bathroom

I hung my beautiful Lilly letters in the girls room from my blogger friend Miss Southern Prep, she made these adorable letters! (check her out)
I hung pictures that have been propped up against the walls for about 7 months
and I did about 10 loads of laundry, cleaned the garage, and packed away all our winter clothes.

Sunday we headed downtown to watch a baseball game, it was a record breaking 91 degrees in STL. Exactly one week ago we had 6 inches of snow.
I think mother nature is on drugs!!!

Happy Friday!!

Happy Friday my friends!! I hope you all have something fun for your weekend. I am going to an auction with my friend tonight as her date. I keep teasing Dan that I just might come on with one of these.....woof woof

Cheers!!

It's the weekend!! Put on your party dressand cheers!
Have a good one mes amies!!

Food, Snow and Football

Those 3 words just about sum up my weekend! I kicked off the weekend Friday night with a friend, a bottle of wine, and the best sushi in town!!We woke up Saturday morning to......you guessed it, more snow!!! We took the kids sledding on Art Hill, which is a long standing STL tradition. There is a huge hill in front of the art museum, how they got the name, just perfect for sledding. Anytime we have a major snowfall, Art Hill is packed with sledders, snow boarders, kids, grown ups, and dogs!
Here is my favorite artist rendition of Art Hill
With all the snow and snow days we've had this past week, a date night with Dan was in order. Saturday night we bundle up and headed out for dinner, drinks, and adult conversation.

Superbowl Sunday was the perfect excuse to indulge in more great food. We had some friends over to watch the game and drink some wine. I made these, which were absolutely delicious. In my book, anything from Southern Living is a definite winner. I used slider buns so they were a little bit smaller,

so I could make room for this... Spicy sausage dip
1 pound spicy sausage

1/2 c. sour cream

1/2 c. mayo

1/2 c. parmesan cheese

1 small jar of pimentos drained

5 green onions, chopped

In a skillet, brown the sausage. Drain the fat and transfer to a bowl. Mix in sour cream, mayo, parmesan, pimento and green onions. Place dip into a baking dish and bake at 350 for 30 min. Serve with triscuits, enjoy, and run an extra mile in the morning!!

Happy Friday!!

Have a beautiful and warm weekend!!and remember....

We are one day closer to Spring!!

The Weekend Past

Another weekend has come and gone! Friday night I braved the cold and the massive crowds to score some deals at a warehouse sale, and there were many deals to be had. I think the one I am most excited about is this....The House of Harlow ring I was just blogging about last week, all mine for $15.

Saturday Night was our dueling piano party and it was a blast. I was having so much fun I forgot to take pictures... I hate when that happens!!!

Sunday night we celebrated the big 2 for Scarlett. We had our families over for presents, dinner and cake. For some reason, this little peanut was scared to tears when we all sang happy birthdayDon't worry, I think I will be doing the same at my next birthday!!!

Happy Monday

The Weekend

Tonight, some friends and I are heading out for a big warehouse sale. Many local boutiques are making way for Spring/Summer clothing, so they all come together under 1 roof and discount everything 75-90%. This is a great time to score some incredible deals, but you need to be prepared for complete and utter mayhem. After we do our marathon shopping we always take the edge off (and show off our purchases) with a bottle of wine!
Saturday night we have a party downtown...
dueling pianos! Not really sure what to expect but I hear it is fun, and they serve wine!!

Sunday night we are having both sides of the family over for little Miss Scarlett's birthday party!

Cheers to a happy weekend!!

Le weekend

I love it when you start off the weekend with really no plans, then end up having a great, fun weekend. That is how my weekend went.

Friday afternoon, I called one of my friends and had her, her hubby, and 2 girls come over Friday night for pizza and wine.
Lucky for me my friend is a huge champagne drinker, so she also came with a bottle of bubbly!
Saturday, Dan and I had dinner reservations, just the 2 of us, at one of my favorite French restaurants. As the day went on, we kept inviting more and more friends to join us. By 10pm, there were 10 of us dining on pomme frites, les escargots, les salades, et les fromages.
I think the last minute plans always turn out to be the best!! An unexpected night!!

Sunday, Dan busted out one of his Christmas gifts, the super smoker......
and cooked up this yumminess for us!!

Happy Monday

Happy Friday

Have a beautiful weekend.......

and stay warm!!
