Easter Weekending

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend with friends and family. I feel like I've been going non-stop since Friday, but I wouldn't change any of it!


Friday, I headed down to the "touristy area" to meet my best friend from high school for dinner who's in town visiting family. We caught up over yummy drinks and food, and before we knew it several hours had gone by. I loved that when we walked outside, we could see the beautiful Orlando Eye lit up. Can't wait until it opens!


I also finally tried out the new Flat White at Starbucks on Friday, and got it iced with skim milk which is even better for you than my typical skinny vanilla latte. Win-win!


Saturday, I started off the day with a nice jog through the neighborhood before cooling off with a drink in the pool and heading out for the day.


I put together an engagement/happy birthday basket for some friends who got engaged while we were away on our cruise a few weeks ago. They're planning a destination wedding, so I gave them several magazines to help with the planning process, and some fun koozies to bring to the resort they choose for their big day.


We had some fun in the pool before heading over to Emily and K's for their annual Easter potluck which is always a good time. Lots of good food, good times with friends, and the cutest little Easter Bunny ever.


Easter Sunday was nice and relaxing spent with family over good food and a super intense game of Dutch Blitz. I'm happy to say that I came out as the champion!

    Sounds like a great weekend! I need to the flat white at starbucks, I'm usually a skinny vanilla latte girl too. The engagement basket is a great idea and I'm going to have to remember that.

    so jealous of pool time. I wish we had such nice weather. That basket is so fantastic. What a thoughtful gift. I had been wanting to try the Flat White, didn't realize they would do it iced. So need to try that. I did try the new cold brew ice coffee, so good.

    Being able to run, and then get in the pool is a huge perk. That is one cute "bunny" and looks like a fun time.

    first, LOVE the blue necklace.

    I really need to try the flat white. I have seen it all over the place, but have not had it yet. I actually haven't had starbucks in forever! I have been trying to save my monies by just making it at home! Also, that basket is so sweet. I LOVE doing baskets as gifts. For v-day I made D a little basket filled with stuff & he loved it!
