Bored?

Fantastic, because I am sitting here on Sunday night, watching recordings of the Chew and enjoying my first glass of wine in over a week.  Life is good, and I am feeling extra chatty tonight.

This past weekend we were so lucky to get out.  Truly get out as adults, with time on our side.  Enjoyed an entire baseball game and dinner and drinks afterwards.  It was such a treat.  For those parents that do this on the regular and are inserting your eyeroll that it is our fault we do not get out enough, suck it.  Seriously.  It is a simple fact that we do spend 90% of our time with our family.  We love them so.  Even with our friends, we usually spend time at one anothers houses and it is just as fun.  But the weather was perfect and our company was just what our hearts needed.  LONG time friends since high school were in town and we soaked up every second.  Nothing beats a friendship that can pick up right where you left off – we are so lucky to have them in our lives.

Look at that stud.  I get to have sex with him.  How lucky am I?!

Is that too much? Sorry.

After spending 6 whole days with a massive flu bug I was thrilled to be able to down a beer and keep it down.  I ate pizza, and seasoned fries and an appetizer that knocked my pants off.  OH the simple things that taste so amazing after days of only consuming toast and bananas.

We are leaving shortly for a trip to the beach.  We really did not think it would happen this year, and we are so grateful for the invite to a friends house to stay at.  We will spoil them rotten with love and soak up every second of getting away with our littles.   I just snagged this crossbody bag off of amazon because I really need a smaller purse to carry around in public (look at the picture above!) I bought this bag in MOJAVE.

Cannot wait for it to come in the mail this week! If you guys do not have Amazon Prime, jump on it.  The ability to click purchase and have it at your doorstep 2 days later really will tickle you pink!

I also snagged –

I adore Haylie Duff – and if you have not yet tuned into her show, Real Girls Kitchen on the Cooking Channel, set that baby to record, you will not regret it! Amazing, simple and fresh recipes that will leave you feeling happy and hungry! This will definitely be sifted through and bookmarked at the beach!

I have a ton of things on my To-Do list that I plan to start tackling while on vacation so get ready folks – it’ll be a fun summer at The Thome Home!
