Have a good weekend.

My sweets, what are your plans for the weekend? Alex's mom is visiting from California. The last time she was here, Toby was miniature and couldn't smile or make eye contact. Now he's fat and can roll, laugh, and hug his favorite octopus. I can't wait for her to see! Also, Alex's birthday's coming up (a hem, it's a big one), so we're going here for dinner. (Pumpkin bisque, I'm looking at you.) Anyway, hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and here are a few great posts from around the web...

Have a fun weekend!

My sweet readers, what are you up to this weekend? Alex and I are cooking up spaghetti bolognese and reading baby books. Also, I'm excited to try this goat cheese, which I found today at the farmer's market. (It's made by a husband-and-wife team, who left their big-city jobs to buy forty goats and make cheese. Awesome.) Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and here are a few great posts from around the web...xoxo

Have a happy weekend

My sweet readers, what are your plans for the weekend? My dad is coming from Michigan to visit, and we'll be taking him to brunches, seeing art exhibits and inevitably watching Seinfeld reruns. I can't wait. Have a wonderful weekend, and here are a few great posts from around the web...

My lovelies, what are you up to this weekend? Alex and I will be taking care of last-minute wedding details (only two weeks away, eeks!) and going on an adventure to this trippy Korean water spa, which Alex has been dying to try out for ages. It looks weird but fun. Hope you have a great break, and meanwhile, here are a few great posts from around the web...
