Summer Weekend with Colleen & Co.

Ahh, last weekend was a good one. I saw my best friend (I mean sister) and her family! I say this often but I’m so glad that even with our distances we have still managed to see each other as often as we do. It isn’t easy as she is now a busy mother of TWO! But I’m proud of us for making the efforts regardless of distance and how life just seems to only get busier as we get older.

Years ago, Colleen was my party partner in crime. I have stories and more stories. And they always make me laugh. But life has changed and so have we! When Colleen asked Sean and me if we would want her to get a babysitter that way we can get out, I was surprised when Sean asked if we could just stay in with the kiddos! To be honest, I was going to ask that as well but to hear Sean actually request to stay in with two kiddos under three … well, that just blew my mind! Soon Colleen and I were envisioning a weekend of drinking chilled wine, playing with her sweet babies, stuffing our pie holes and spending as much time outside talking until our ears fell off. Simple perfection and exactly what we did! My only regret is not getting pictures of us all together.

Although, even if you know very little about me, you know what I will always have pictures of. Food, of course!









To me a caprese salad is summer on a plate.



I'm really not much of a steak person, but omgoodness if this wasn't the best steak I've ever had!



I hope you all have had wonderful weeks and that you have great weekends! ♥
