This & That: Long Weekend Scenes

The long weekend came at the perfect time - we've been so busy lately, a little time to relax was perfect! We aren't always home for the holiday weekend so it was nice to do some things around here, sleep in each day, etc. 

'Tis the season for grilling - we really wanted to enjoy one more grilling session on our deck so a shrimp broil (prepared from Wegman's!) seemed like a perfect fit.


I kicked things off on Friday by heading out for a day of shopping with my mom - lately shopping's revolved around the house or the baby so it was fun to just hit the sales for ourselves.

I love this dress because it'll fit for most of this summer then again in the future (so comfortable and a great price!).  This coverup I was able to just get my regular size and one of the sales girls recommended this style dress because it's great for a growing bump but also can be worn again next year.


We got some of the big rooms packed up like the kitchen and our bedroom/bathroom and poor Stella is confused as could be.  A quick nap after each session was needed.


The weather ended up being nicer than expected so our first patio meal (Mexican!) was the perfect way to spend a night with family.  A virgin margarita too.


I wouldn't say I've had too many cravings but I've definitely been more interested in donuts than usual.  We made our first ever trip to Krispy Kreme and my goodness we will be back! 


Something I wanted to do this summer was go strawberry picking so while we had an open afternoon we figured it would be a good time to do it! 

Obsessed with these old navy workout shorts - great for pregnant or not.

  1. That shrimp boil looks delicious - I am going to have to see if a local store has that, too! Love your Lilly purchases. It seems like all will work well with your bump this summer and then again in the future! I bet it is so crazy to see your empty cabinets - so exciting though!

  4. Krispy Kreme is SO good-they had them in MN and then about ten years ago pulled them all out :-( So sad. Doesn't an empty house feel so weird!? Hopefully the packing went quick and smooth for you!

  11. So I'm from Raleigh, NC - the birth place of Krispy Kreme and where the original still stands. KKs are special and it makes my heart sing that you've now had them :)

  13. Love all the quality time you and your mom spend together! Wish I lived closer to my mom to celebrate all the occasions like your family does. Such a blessing to have them near especially as you're pregnant.

    I've always wanted to go strawberry or blueberry or even apple picking...none has happened so far but looks like you got some sweet goodies to take home.
