{weekend notes}

Hello Monday! You kinda ruined my day, to be honest. Not you, Monday did! I somehow overslept by 2 1/2 hours. Which means I feel like I’m 2 1/2 hours behind in EVERYTHING today. But, damn I sure did get some good sleep! Hope your Monday is off to a better start than mine!

In other news, I got a notification that today, this very post, is my 700th blog post. CRAZY! Seven hundred. If you’ve been following since the beginning, you should know me pretty really well by now…HA!

Intentions for the week:

~~Set a pretty table~~ – (coming this week)
~~Share the newest addition to my room~~ – (what did you think?)
~~Organize (or throw away everything) both linen closets~~ – (thanks Bay)
Find a new houseplant – (looking for something unique is hard)
~~Gather goodies for Bay’s birthday surprise~~ – (I cannot wait to show her + you)
~~Have GG over for dinner~~ – (peek of my week)
~~Rock my new~~ ~~romper~~ – (think i need a size smaller, which is a good thing I guess)
~~NO-sugar for 10 days #FML~~ – (staying strong…till Tuesday)
Order Bay’s birthday cake from Timothy’s Bakery – (It’s the best one yet)
~~15k steps per day~~ – (straight up killed it + added BBG so I’m so sore)

Last weeks Intentions: {weekend notes}

Highlights from the weekend……

Friday, Bailey spent the entire day riding + washing + braiding horses.

Straight up braid #goals

It’s pretty impressive the work that goes into getting these horses ready for a horse show.

Went downtown to check out First Friday. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the new bella moda boutique, you need too. So many cute tops. And the priced are super reasonable.

Cory surprised me with Steve’s Pizza + extra ranch. It’s true love!

Rise + shine its horse show time!

I bribe Alex….bubbles for braids!

Spencer photo bombing Bay’s braid pic. Some day I need to learn to braid!

Woodland Stallion Station!

Bay + Ruby getting warmed up.

That smile says it all

Whispering sweet nothings ♥

So proud of my girl! She got her first horse show ribbon. And watching her do what she loves brings so much joy!

Cousins

Wish I would have gotten a photo of them all dressed up. Next time.

Amanda, the girls trainer. The girls adore her and their barn time with her each week.

Can’t wait to watch them do it all over again.

Off to the Roots to Wine Twilight Picnic

Tabor Ranch tasting room is looking really good

Let’s rock

We checked in, grabbed our glasses and opted to walk (instead of shuttle) to the venue. I’m really happy we did….the whole walk looked like this.

Rosé all day

All the local wineries hosted a tasting. First stop…Seka Hills! My favorite.

The picnic area was the place to be. The live band started right before the sunset.

Wine tasting in the barn

View from the top of Tabor Ranch.

Food trucks + pizza!

If only the skies weren’t full of smoke. This view is breathtaking either way.

My date ♥

Big thank you to Seka Hills for inviting us to the Root to Wine event. Such a fun night with all the local wineries we love so much!

My dress is on sale for $17!!! And it comes in 2 colors.

Women’s Off the Shoulder Smocked Top Maxi Dress

Pit stop at the casino….which ended up being the longest pit stop ever.

And I didn’t fall asleep at the black jack table this time…for the record!

Sunday morning vibes

Bay + I lounged all day long. It was so incredibly nice!

The cooking + serving crew at 4th & Hope! Teaching these kiddos to give back to the community.

I think it’s safe to say, we all had the feel good’s by the end of our shift.

We decorated the 4th & Hope table with Mezger Zinnia’s.

Sunday dinner dates.

We’ve never been to Frank Fats. And I also never knew it was one of the oldest restaurants in Sacramento.

Yu Kwok – beef + pork dumplings. Probably my favorite dish. That Chinese mustard is off the charts!

Cory is on a major fried chicken kick at the moment so we had their famous brandy fried chicken + orange chicken + fried rice.

Then our server bundled up a slice of banana cream pie + a slice of chocolate cream pie on the house to go. Not sure why, but we were down with it.

We made it to Nordy’s just in time to grab Bay a backpack that was on the Nsale. Yesterday was the last day!

Before I let you go….what do you think of the Saturday morning weekly recap? Helpful? I have so many peeps tell me they wait till the weekend to get caught up, so I thought I’d help a sister out.
