Hi, friends!
How was your Labor Day weekend? Ours was awesome. It was a nice mix of fun + rest and relaxation, which is the best kind of long weekend, right? That said, here are 23 things to recap our weekend. Here we go, in no particular order...
1. My sister, brother-in-law, and nephew came over to our house for a barbecue.
2. Mal cooked chicken on the grill while I whipped up my Grammie's broccoli salad (I need to share this recipe with you guys ASAP!) and sweet potato wedges.
3. My sister brought the wines that I ordered from her tasting. I'm in love with the Jitterbug Sauvignon Blanc.
4. We went shopping for rugs at Jordan's clearance center. <-- you can find such great deals!
5. We almost bought this rug (below) for our dining room, but one of the corners was really frayed. Boo.
6. We took a family walk at Wompatuck State Park.
7. Even though it was almost 90 degrees, Murphy still enjoyed himself.
8. Quinn did too! Look at his little face. Too cute!
9. We tried the Bacon Cheddar Cheese from Trader Joe's, and it was soooo good. I think it would taste even more amazing inside a grilled cheese sandwich WITH bacon.
10. I made some incredible, semi-healthy spinach artichoke dip. I'll share the recipe on CNC soon!
11. Mal and I went out to dinner at Skipjacks at Patriot Place. Woohoo! Date night!
12. I ordered the fish tacos for dinner. They were pretty good.
13. We also went to a Revolution game!
14. We had some fun with selfies during half time.
15. The Revs won 3-0 over Orlando City.
16. We put together a huge world map puzzle foam mat for Quinn's playroom.
17. I finally unpacked the boxes in the dining room. We have a few more in the basement and guest room, but we're mostly unpacked now. Yay! We're slowly getting there.
18. We enjoyed the open barnyard at Weir River Farm.
19. Quinn tried steak for the first time at a friends' barbecue. It was really good meat, so I know why he liked it so much!
20. Quinn and I both took 3-hour naps on Saturday and we both needed it. (He's fighting a cold and my platelets are really low from Remicade and the fatigue is kicking my butt.)
21. I also went to bed early on Sunday night. Murphy was more than okay with that.
22. We went out for coffee and Quinn enjoyed playing with my old business cards. They were printed almost 8 years ago, and I probably haven't given one out in about 5 years, but I still carry them in my wallet.
23. I ate an awesome wrap from Brewed Awakenings in Hingham. It was turkey with Havarti cheese, roasted red peppers, sprouts, bacon, tomatoes, and honey mustard. Yummm!
The end.

Sounds like a busy, but fun weekend.
1. I saw The Fixx at Daryl Hall’s ( Hall & Oats) club in NY on Friday.
2. My friend and I went to Mohonk Mt Home (gorgeous)
3. Made a delish creamy chicken, lemon and artichoke crock pot dish.
Sounds like such a fun weekend!! Okay, here’s my three things:
1 – I think I ate about 5 pieces of bacon yesterday between breakfast and dinner. Now that I’ve just learned I like bacon, I need to learn moderation… 😉
2 – With a busy week ahead of me, I did laundry and packed for my trip to NYC and I don’t leave until Thursday.
3 – Despite the worst couple days yet with my month long migraine, I got in some great workouts and am feeling a bit sore. In a good way. 🙂
we had friends over, we went swimming, and we went running 🙂
What a fun weekend! I’m not sure how I feel about bacon cheese though!
That is the perfect weekend! 😀
1- On Saturday my friends and I left from our one week vacation in the Greek islands, super sad face…
2- Sunday was spent doing laundry and preparing for what is still my favorite day of the year (dork alert) :
3- Monday – First day of school 😀 We celebrate labor day in May in Europe so we didn’t have a long weekend, but it was festive starting classes nonetheless, right? 😉
1. Attended a BBQ at a friends house – my 10 month old loved playing with all of her 18 month year old son’s toys. Entertainment for hours!
2. Enjoyed my first pumpkin beer of the season while eating a lobster roll….transitioning from summer to fall!
3. Stained our back deck…I got quite the workout! Took me 3 hours to do part of it!
1. We saw Trainwreck and LOVED it!
2. We grilled 2 times.
3. We went out way too late one night and I remember why I don’t wear heels much or stay out that late.
We don’t celebrate it here in Ireland but I had a good weekend all the same! Met a friend for a long due catch up and coffee in my favourite Italian coffee shop, finally managed to get my hands on Wild Sockeye Salmon here in Ireland, Woop!! Also started a new strength and conditioning course, time to perfect the ass to the grass squat!!
What a fun weekend! I love trying all the different cheeses at Trader Joes..they have one that is truffle flavored and it’s AMAZING. For my Labor Day, I (1) went on a run (2) watched lots of tennis (3) spent time at the car dealer since our transmission has been acting up!
Looks like a good weekend in the books! Three things from Labor Day weekend:
1) Working on a photo ledge wall using new shelves I picked up at IKEA. Printed photos at CVS and now finishing up a painting for it.

Wow! Busy! I didn’t do much. Signed lease paperwork on my new Chevy Malibu, meal-planned/cooked, and cleaned out our pool. It’s been too cold to swim, and keeps raining and getting leaves in it. A little gnarly.
