Blondies, a baby shower, and a babysitter

Hey there,

It seems I’m not the only one with strong opinions about the ridiculousness that is 50 Shades of Grey   I loved hearing the phrases that irked you.  Feel free to add more!

The title pretty sums up this weekend:

Blondies:

I had plans to meet up with my mommy group at a park on Friday and figured a sweet treat would be welcome.  That and I had to make something for Zach’s work for a certain someone.

Enter: Brown sugar butterscotch blondie bars!

I followed the recipe for Brown sugar chocolate chip bars with some minor changes – butterscotch chips, upped the vanilla, added cinnamon, and baked for closer to 50 minutes. 

These bars were super sweet, but oh so very good.  I had a bit of a fat kid moment when it came to eating the ‘crust’ along the edges – love that part.  And they were a hit amongst friends as well.

A baby shower:

Saturday we were able to take part in a lovely surprise baby shower for one of Zach’s coworkers at his boss’s home.  The surprise went off without a hitch and the mom-to-be was none the wiser.  Success!  I didn’t take any pictures of the amazing food spread (mainly delicious Indian food), but trust me when I say my plates were shamefully large.  Oye. 

I did however snap of pic of my new maxi dress with Zach and Naava’s butt.  Lovely, no?

The dress is Max Studio and the stripes are forest green.  Super comfy and a total steal at Marshalls

A babysitter:

See that person hiding behind bean on a bike?  Yep, that’s his babysitter for the week.  Otherwise known as his Aunt Carly   I think they are both pretty darn excited for some special bonding time and shenanigans. 

How did you spend your weekend?
