Weekend Re-wind
What a weekend!!
Friday we headed to Nordstrom at Tysons along with 8 billion other people in the dc metro area for the first day of the anniversary sale and it was totally nuts! We managed to arrive at lunchtime which couldn't have been more hectic if we actually planned for chaos. We were able to get hubs a few important work items and Ms Peanut some necessities before she totally went nuts and screamed for the next 11 hours straight so this happened at lunch (no I wasn't driving)
Friday Night was the roughest night of sleep since baby girl was born, we were up every hour on the hour. It may be more teeth, it may be rice cereal that we recently started, or it may just have been a bad day regardless I just felt so terrible and completely helpless.
Saturday the summer picnic for my MOMS group got rained out but was held inside (where the a/c made it seem like December!) so hubs and I went bleary eyed with our most yummy "side item/dessert" a totally addictive snack mix you can customize per season/holiday....It makes the best hostess gift packaged in a cute jar with a tag
Yummy Salty Sweet Snack Mix
1 large can of Salted Peanuts1 can of Cashews whole or pieces1 box of raisins1 bag of m&ms 1 bag of candy corn
You will not be able to stop yourself its that addictive!!
Saturday Night my bestie had us over for a yummy dinner and drinks. It was so nice to catch up. She seriously finds the best recipes on pinterest. She just signed me up for an account (another party I am way late too - I'm not even on facebook!) so I can beef up my weekly dinners and I am super excited.
We spent most of yesterday tidying up and grocery shopping with a lunch at potbelly - my fave! - stuck in between. We made it to evening mass last night which is always a great way to end the weekend and start the week.
Duh..I watched the bachelorette, and clearly made hubs watch it with me. I heart Jef, I did feel so sad for Arie. I feel most upset for myself seeing as I now have nothing to look forward to on Mondays!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

I'm going to have to try this snack mix! That's such a great idea to give it as a hostess gift in a cute jar too!
sorry friday night was rough. the only good news with nights like those if they happen on friday is you have another helper the next day! i feel the same way about the bachelorette being over...i know i will get sucked into bachelor pad now on mondays!
Baby girl is adorable!!!
Love her style... :)
Nordstrom is one of my favorite places to eat. I can imagine how crazy it was, though!
Have a wonderful day, Maura!

your girl is so cute in her dress! and that salty and sweet snack mix sounds great. glad you were able to have your MOMS group despite the rain and catch up with a friend later that evening.
She is just too cute! You have to tell me where you get her sweet hair bows. Blaire's hair is finally long enough to clip bows like that into but I don't have any.
And I totally understand the need for wine after a bad day at the mall. Blaire got upset in J. Crew once and a salesgirl was mean to us. I was not a happy momma.
Jealous! I miss tysons corner!
