Weekend: Weddings, Friends and Sweet Stuff

I hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday evening. I am just popping in with some weekend photos to share!

10.19sul

This one got a bath and a little hair cut on Friday. When I picked her up she was so soft, smelling like roses and over the top cute. I swear she knows when she’s extra adorable. Look at that smile!

10.19cookies

My Friday night included baking cookies to take to a friend’s house for a baby holding get together. I made “three chip” cookies with chocolate, white and peanut butter chips. I just got a new oven so my three batches of cookies came in three varying degrees of doneness. Something for every preference! 🙂

10.19scandal

I was home and watching Scandal in bed by 9:30 p.m.

10.19wedding

On Saturday after I taught yoga and did my long run I got all dressed up for a friend’s wedding. I tagged along with my beautiful friend (the two of us and the bride did yoga teacher training together) and her husband. They’re both South American…I think I fit right in minus the fact that I can’t participate in their Spanish banter. 😉 I wore a new dress that I was frantically trying to Hollywood Tape down on my drive downtown. I did NOT leave myself enough time to get ready after my run!

10.19view

The wedding was at the Charlotte City Club and the views were gorgeous. The City Club is on the thirty-something floor of one of the buildings Uptown.

10.19apps

I made myself a plate of food the minute they opened the stations.

10.19desserts

And they had the BEST dessert table. Cupcakes from Polka Dot Bake Shop, Peanut M&Ms and Reese’s Cups.

It was a great afternoon of celebration. I am so grateful for my friends and I absolutely love to see them happy!

10.19duck

The Saturday fun continued when I met my friend Leslie Ann for dinner at Lulu. She was in town doing a BodyCombat training (she’s a Les Mills trainer) and I was SO excited to spend an evening chatting with her. We are definitely kindred spirits. I love our time together. This is a terrible picture of my delicious dinner. It was duck over barley with beets and greens.

10.19sandwich

My Sunday has been low key and productive. I taught yoga, made a run to Whole Foods, ate a delicious egg sandwich (and I have lost count how many cookies), sat outside and worked on the computer, walked the pup and went to yoga. Perfection.

What’s the best wedding dessert you’ve ever had? 

What was the best part of your weekend?

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

So Many Dinner Ideas

So Many Dinner Ideas

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

Life Lately: 8 Years Old, A New Piercing, Trail Training and More

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
