Hello Monday and Hello Last Week of February! (ALSO Monthly Musings is Thursday!)

 



Hi Friends and Happy Monday!  Linking up with Tanya, Heather and the Crew HERE 

and sharing some scenes from our weekend....

 

 

We are one week closer to Spring...Diana and I talked about it this weekend...the days are longer...we are feeling it...the weather is a little milder....and when March hits we feel we are there!

 

 

Here is what we were up to

 

 

Friday Night

 

Mama had a girls night with one of her pals and favorite Dance Moms

 


 

 

Saturday Morning

 

 

Our Date Walk felt like a heat wave- ha!  It was 23 degrees and I was fine with only one pair of socks...funny the difference you feel between 9 degrees, 12 degrees and 23...can't wait to tell you when it is 60 degrees at 7am!

 


 After this, Saturday was a pretty lazy day for me...although Diana's schedule was crazy, Robby B handled the racing around for me...I was a little under the weather...just run down and needed to rest (and maybe binge Smash again...I know I have issues...just dreaming of getting back to Broadway) 

 

Remi also had a grooming appointment so Rob snapped this pic of him in the car- so cute and getting used to the car!

 


 

and my snuggly girls keeping me company...




I did manage to scoot out and have my nails done...

 


 

That night, we took the girls to dinner at Pasquale's to celebrate the start of their Winter break...not like we have exciting plans...rough year but looking forward to some adventures hopefully later in the year for sure!  They always love getting dessert in a restaurant so we let them of course...

 


 

 

Sunday

 

When Rob took Eva to hockey, I took that time to get organized while Diana slept in for the first time all school year!   I got some organizing done with clothes and put some bags together for donations and got some cooking and reading done.  Then we all went to 11:30 mass. 

 

 

I feel like all I wear in Winter is black...no exaggeration...so I decided to perk things up and grabbed a Lilly shirt for the day...

 


 

Later on, we had my cousin Tessie's Virtual Baby Shower...it was cute and we had a great time...I loved how into it Diana was :)

 




 Then I took the girls to Target to get a few spring outfits and a few Easter decorations...they didn't have much...will have to hit HomeGoods soon...just like Valentines, we have never really decorated much for Easter but feel like we need to this year.....

 

Later, Daddy made us dinner!  It was incredible.  He made homemade Italian Wedding Soup...

 



We wound down the weekend by taking Remi for a power walk....he is really getting used to the neighborhood and I was able to have him jogging for most of it- so much fun!




 That's a wrap!  Oh one more thing!  Patty and I hope you will join us on Thursday for this month's edition of Monthly Musings.  We are talking all things Spring Fashion!

  1. Remi is sooo cute! And so are y’all. I’ve still been taking my daily walks, and they’ve all been in the single digits until this week, it’s finally going to get back up into the 30s and it will definitely feel like a heat wave! Have a great week ahead!

  2. That soup looks so tasty!! One of the reasons I love fall and winter so much is because of all the comfort foods, like soup!!

  6. Sorry that you were not feeling 100% all weekend. It looks like you still had a good weekend in spite of it. I was happy to run in 14 degree weather early Saturday morning- my weather app predicted that it would be 9 degrees so I was happy with 14 :). Warmer weather is on the way!!

  7. That looks like a fun weekend! My son just remarked the other day about how light it was out at 5. I am loving that extra daylight time knowing the warmer weather has got to come sooner or later.

  14. Yay for warmer date walks! And I'm sorry you were under the weather :( My husband took Rachel to dance on Monday and it felt like such a gift to not have to get in the car that day.

  16. @Patty I think you will like it- when I bake chicken breasts I always feel like they are so dry and the same happens when I grill. With the air fryer, they end up crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside and they are done in less than 10 minutes! I have been experimenting with different veggies too and it is so fun and delish and for us working ladies, it is so fast and convenient- let me know if you try one!
