When the Boys are Away the Girls Will Play

morning lovers.

did y'all have a good weekend....and uh, monday?

I'm a day late and a dollar short but here's my weekend recap. 

but first, you can find me over here today talking about what happens

when the bikinis get put away...

I had such a fun, relaxing weekend with my richmond bff Audrey. 

Friday night we went for mexican & margs, drank sangria & wine, and watched the movie

Bachelorette.

Have you guys seen this yet? I'd never even heard of it til we went to watch it. 

$10.99 on demand my friends.

$10 freaking .99!

Anyway, I highly suggest grabbing some gf's and getting together to watch this. 

totally worth the money

Saturday I spent the afternoon with my sister.

left to right: skinnygirl dog toy, my sandwich at lunch, sweet tea :)

That night Audrey and I had dinner at Brio, followed with some shopping at one of the

outdoor malls here in town. We found this store called Love Culture (anyone?) that's pretty 

much like a smaller Forever21. huge fan.

I got 2 skirts and this cute little owl necklace

We were gonna go out but she wasn't feeling too hot so we did the next best thing.

Wine and the Hunger Games. 

and a dance party.

How's this for being real?

helloo glasses....aka nerddd :)

Sunday we went to brunch at this cute little place in the fan called 3 Monkeys.
They are known for their mimosas so we each got a watermelon & raspberry one.

yum!

weekend perfection :)
Oh, and in exactly 1 month I will be partaying it up in Hotlanta for my bday with
some of my favorites.

weekend lovin'

Why do the weekends always seem to fly by?? Seriously, even with an extra day last week it still went by waaaay too fast. I still stand by my proposal of a 2 day work week....just sayin'.

Even though it was too short, I was still able to soak up every minute of the long weekend. Thursday night I mentioned spending time with Olivia before she went to school. What hangout with Liv would be complete without a trip to Sweet Frog?

My family got her all moved into her new dorm yesterday and I can't wait to go see it. Maybe a beach trip is in order?? The rest of my weekend was spent relaxing and hanging out with friends. (Definitely glad I made that decision.) I also realized that I tried four different kinds of wine over the weekend. I'm usually a pinot grigio girl but I feel like I should start branching out and trying other kinds. Eventually I wanna start throwing some reds in the mix. I can't remember what exactly I tried this weekend but they were all delicious! I'll let ya'll know tomorrow for sure :)

Also, while I was away this weekend, I sent little man to daycare. When I went to pick him up after two full days of play-time, the woman told me how much they all love him and how much he loves to play (as if the pictures don't speak for themselves.)

And this is what he looks like when he comes home

from all that playing...

sleepy face

Also to note, Tobes is obsessed with these guys. 

Peanut Butter filled bones

This is how he waits for his new treat to be prepared...

spoiled puppy :)

Hope you're all having a great Monday!

Stay tuned for tomorrow's post.
