Playing Tourist in My Own City

Oh hello Monday, the last one before I return to work which is so bittersweet. I'm excited to get back out into the real world and establish a routine again, but I grow closer to baby girl every day and am going to miss those chubby lil' cheeks so much!


With my family still in town, we took my brother out on Friday for some day drinking downtown. He got to check out some local breweries, and we all enjoyed being outside catching up and playing corn hole.



*Story behind the $56 margaritas can be found here*


Saturday we ventured out to celebrate a friend's birthday down in the touristy section of town. My brother came along and got to meet Emily, K, and the gang.

*Sparkling Sangria for the win*






Sunday was about snuggles with baby girl (who turned 3 months old already, how is this already happening?!), football, and relaxing.

I'm excited to announce that Elle is the winner of my Paperless Post giveaway. Enjoy gurlie, so many fabulous designs to choose from for your next event!

    How fun!! Lots of great ideas to bookmark for when I get down there. I cannot believe Serena is 3 months. I'm so sorry you have to go back to work next week, I know you've loved this time. Soak up this glorious week beautiful!!

    Such a fun weekend with your brother! I was laughing pretty hard at the snap of no $56 margs!! I can't believe Little miss is going to be 3 months old already - hope this last week goes by super slow for you! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston

    I love weekends when you get visitors and can play tourist--especially when they get to meet and hang with some of your friends, too.
    Hoping every second of this week is the best :)
