Random Thoughts

I am skipping the menu planner this week. Not too many meals to plan because of Thanksgiving and we are having dinner out Tuesday for my mom's 60th birthday. We are going to Lemaire at the Jefferson! Can't wait!

We had this salmon a few weeks ago and I am making it again tonight. It is delicious!

On Friday, Michael and I are off to the Hotel Roanoke for the night. We made this trip a few years ago and I loved it because everything was decorated for Christmas! I am really excited for a getaway. Then Saturday morning we are headed to Blacksburg to see UVA v Tech! GO HOOS! Many thanks to Neena and Moe who are watching Camille and Clyde.

We had a good weekend but I did have to tame this mess today! Camille was thrilled because we went through and sorted all the babydoll/Mimi clothes. She wanted one bin with baby accessories and supplies and the other with clothes.


Notice the bedskirt on the floor. Read about that here.

One final thought for this random post, we took our Christmas card picture this weekend and it was surprisingly stress free. We purchased a $12 tripod on Amazon and took it with just us in the backyard. Very low stress and everyone cooperated. Much better than trying to get someone to capture that "perfect" moment.

Superhero Soccer Party

A few weeks ago, Clyde turned 4 and we celebrated at a local sports park, Scor . He wanted a superhero theme to go with the soccer party so I did my best to pull that off! First off, I purchased this clip art from Etsy. I was going to try to design the invitation myself but am lacking talent in that department so ended up getting local Elizabeth from Sunshine Ink Studio to create for me. Much cuter then what I pulled together.  For the cake, I ordered plain cupcakes with green polka dots from Kroger. The polka dots were far from what I had in mind but the kids didn't care! I ordered cupcake toppers using the same clip art from The Sister Studio . Camille & Clyde both got new shirts for the occasion. Clyde's batman shirt came from TwoTwoCute Designs on Etsy. And Camille's is from CutiesTieDyeBoutique . They worked with me to do a chevron background to match the invitation. For the goodie bags, I purchased the red bags from the Dollar Tree . And then free hand cut the...

Snow day....

Camille with my niece, Vail We woke up yesterday to an unexpected snow day! Woohoo! There is snow on the ground but I am thinking spring ! I tried on this cute dress at Kohl's earlier this week. It was more expensive in store than online! I left it in the store but am still thinking about it especially with the $32 price tag. Could be nice for Easter if it is chilly.

Guest Post....Ashley from Perk! Pilates Fitness

Image
Recently after my barre class, I decided that I could no longer wear my Forever21 workout leggings. They were uncomfortable and constantly falling down. I asked my one of my closest friends and pilates/barre instructor, Ashley, if she could recommend some reasonable workout wear. And she had a lot to say on the matter and at that moment I decided perhaps there are others who would like some advice on the best places to buy workout garb. So I am thrilled that today, Ashley is guest posting. She has some great advice! She is not only an instructor but also the owner of Perk! Pilates Fitness in Fort Collins, Colorado. She is pretty terrific. Based on Ashley's advice, I got the Old Navy compression capris & leggings and they are SO much better. There was a sale as there always is at Old Navy so I paid less than $20 a piece!   As a person who lives in fitness gear, I am thrilled to share my thoughts on workout apparel. January allows us to welcome a new year wher...
