…no, not the real kind of running. Who do you think I am?
Here’s my weekend in review…
Friday:
Right now, I’m not working Fridays. It’s rather glorious. Instead I catch up on all the chores I neglect in the week, spend quality time with the bean, and meet up with my mommy friends so our boys can ‘play’ together:
Friday evening I met Zach and his coworkers for a drink. And rather than make dinner, we hit up Yoppi. Again. And, yes, I had the cake batter froyo. Again. It was everything I wanted and more. Who needs dinner when you can have dessert?
Saturday:
I woke up ‘early’ ( as in 8am) to get in 40 minutes of cardio and about 10 minutes of weights/abs before Zach and bean got out of bed. I wanted to check it off my list before I met up with my fab friend Miss Shayla for lunch in Palo Alto. She introduced me to a new restaurant by Top Chef Art Smith (love), called Lyfe. Because great minds think alike, we both ordered the Napa cabbage salad and split the side of butternut squash and brussel sprouts. Delish and healthy too.
We putzed around PA for a bit, and clearly had to make a pit stop for froyo at Yogurtland. Oh, what, you don’t have froyo twice in less than 24 hours? Pssht. Yoppi won the battle between the two.
Saturday afternoon Zach and I hit up Trader Joe’s for a massive grocery shopping trip. Unfortunately we never meal plan all that well, so let’s hope we aren’t stocked up on snacks only.
That evening we did a spaghetti meatball dinner followed with the Easter egg dying:
Sunday (Easter):
Ahh, Easter. Sadly we didn’t have any grand plans with extended family or friends, so we created our own little holiday, which started out with opening our family Easter basket and a gift from his Obbie:
What a lucky little boy ![]()
For our activity, we went for a hike at Quicksilver canyon in San Jose with the dog in tow. Our time was somewhat limited as Zach had grand plans of watching The Masters finale (yawn). So while he did that, I prepped a Greek quinoa salad for the week, bathed bean, did massive amounts of laundry, and planned this week’s outfits. Productivity at its finest.
And now it’s Monday. Let the fun begin.
How did you spend your Easter holiday?
Adorable pictures of Sawyer! I had a nice Easter with my family. It’s a little hectic since we visit both sides of the family in one day (LOTS of eating!!) but it was nice to see everyone. Plus, I just decided on a law school, so I had some good news to share with everyone!
Lots of eating sounds like what every holiday should include!
Congrats on law school Liz — very exciting!
It sounds like you had a great weekend! We spent out Easter hanging out at home since we have no family in town. We cooked and skyed family and friends then watched a movie! After that Keith watched basketball (yawn) and I like you got lots of chores done including giving the babes a bath and doing lots of laundry!
Haha, while the men watch their sports, the women clean…something is very wrong with that picture
Glad you and your beauty had a lovely weekend htough
Hehe now THAT is my kind of running!And way to fit in your workout so early on Saturday! (8am is early for a Saturday!!)
Agreed…8am is TOO early for Saturday
Sounds like a perfect weekend – food, friends, and froyo.
And I cant wait to try out Lyfe.. that salad looks deelish!
You would like Lyfe I think
Frozen yogurt twice in twenty-four hours is totally acceptable … sometimes it’s too good to resist. I went last week – had to get it in before Passover began – and had red velvet with yogurt chips. SO GOOD!
I don’t think I’ve tried red velvet yet..mmm
Happy Easter to you guys! Looks like you had a really nice weekend (oh and I’m completely jealous of your Fridays off!).
Awe it looks like such a lovely weekend! Glad you had a great time girl! Frozen yogurt all the time is perfectly acceptable!
Awww I’m dying over cuteness of that pic of bean with his bunny ears – he’s so precious and such a cutie pie!!!! Had an absoutely wonderful day with you lovely – can’t wait to do it again – I’m already ready for more froyo
xo
I can’t wait either. I maaay have your Birthday present
I just can’t get enough of that baby! He’s gorgeous. I can’t believe in 6 months I’ll be in the mommy club
What!!! I had no idea girl. Congrats!!!
I am dying at that bunny ear picture of the little bean! Oh my!!! So freaking adorable!
You and Shayla need to come here and meet me for lunch
I wish we could Laury!!!
The bean is so irresistibly CUTE!! I want to move to Palo Alto just so I can babysit him. Sound like a good plan? The only deal is that I get to dress him in that adorable bunny outfit at least once a week.
It sounds like you had a nice Easter! Sometimes low key holidays are the most enjoyable–less stress and more time to focus on the things that matter…like the cutest baby EVER.
Oh, and eating froyo twice in a 24 hour period? It happens more often than I should admit, but it’s completely worth it! Life is too short to pass up froyo at every opportunity I have to enjoy it! Even though I’m cutting back on dairy, I always make an exception for frozen yogurt. Always.
Love you! xoxo
You are such a sweetheart Sara — thank you for saying such nice things about Sawyer! And YES move to PA and you can watch him anytime you want
I’ll pay you in froyo, wine, and pedis. How’s that sound?
xo
