Birmingham Restaurant Week started on Friday, so Laura and I headed over to Saigon to check out their special menu. I ordered the chicken spring rolls and the Good Ga Bahn Mi. It was delicious!!!! I also got a Briney Melon because Friday. Can’t wait to see where we hit up this week!

Saturday morning I cut the side yard and had burned 557 calories while doing so. Hurrah! Most of it was probably sweat. Damn, was it hot and humid!!! My sister, BIL and the boys stopped by to hang out for a little bit so that is always fun! Chris and I then decided to head out to grab some lunch somewhere and check out Bargain Hunt. We ended up at Soho Social. We ordered the chicken tender meal and the short rib burger meal and split them, and of course we had to have sweet potato fries with gorgonzola dip! It was fun just hanging out for a little bit. Zoe really enjoyed sitting in the big girl high chair and taking in her surroundings too. After, we stopped by Hop City to pick up some fun beers for home. Zoe made out at Bargain Hunt. I got everything in the picture below for $16 and some change!!! Two shirts for the next size up, an outfit to wear now, a pool float for next summer and some baby legos. Score!!!!

I grabbed the Atalanta Plum Tart Saison by Orpheus Brewing out of Atlanta. This is one of my favorites, it is so good and different with the plum!!! If you like sour beers (but not crazy sour) give this one a try!!!!

Sunday I cut the front yard, fed Zoe lunch and then we all headed out to grab Mexican at Casa Fiesta. They have one of my most favorite Mexican dishes out of anywhere. Their flautas are seriously the bomb.com. (I am bringing it back.) We walked around Best Buy and ended up coming home with like 15 Blue Rays. Their sales get Chris every time. Lets see how many we actually watch lol. Then we did our grocery shopping for the week.

When we got home, we watched Younger and watched someone scoot themselves all over the living room and pull up on everything. Can someone please tell me why she looks 4 feet tall when standing. They grow too fast!!!!

And this picture….be still my heart….

I hope you all had a wonderful week!!! It’s my birthday week, so I plan to treat myself to some Rose and treats! Linking up with Biana.

Today is Zoe’s first day of daycare and I am sure to be in a puddle of tears right now. We went to the open house last week and one of her teachers asked to hold her and she was hysterical when I was right there. I can’t even imagine what it is going to be like when I drop her off this morning. I will for sure be the mom ugly crying in the hallway on the way out! Ugh, I can’t think about it anymore….

This weekend was a good one! We started our Friday night out with some turkey taco sweet potato nachos. They were delicious!!! Such a good and fairly healthy way to ring in the weekend!

Saturday morning during Zoe’s nap, I cut the backyard. Then we headed out to do a little shopping. We scored some major sales for Zoe at Nordstrom Rack and Bargain Hunt. Gotta start putting together her fall wardrobe for the next size up. Fun fact, Zoe loves looking through her new clothes when we get home. Just the way my mom and I always have a “day in review” after we go shopping. She even modeled a headband in her best pose.

We grabbed a late lunch at the Tavern, where Zoe sat in a high chair like a big girl and had so much fun. She might have stared at our crab dip and my burger while she had her bottle. I think she wants the rest of her teeth to hurry on up!

There was a family that walked past our table on the way out. An older man was at behind them all and he looked down at Zoe and smiled and said, “You know, she was that small just yesterday….” Speaking of his daughter who was in front of him and probably my age. Funny how fast they grow, huh?

Saturday night we played many rounds of Zoe’s favorite new game. Peekaboo! She is obsessed! She even grabs the curtains behind her bouncer to hide behind now. It is the cutest thing ever.

Sunday morning I cleaned up around the house some, meal planned and grocery shopped. We picked up some Olive Garden to go for lunch. They were out of cheese ravioli, so I decided to try the three cheese stuffed shells. O.M.G. SO GOOD! I cant remember the last time I had stuffed shells, probably when I lived with my parents! My mom used to make them all the time.

I pretty much snacked off my plate the rest of the day while we caught up to the current season of Ballers. We also tried Goliath and worked through a few episodes of it. It really hooked us in!

Will Billy Bob Thornton ever be anyone other than Bad Santa? I think not. It’s a good show, check it out if you are looking for something to binge.

Sunday evening I started getting together everything that I need to send Zoe to daycare with and started reading Roanoke Girls. Can’t believe the book link up is tomorrow!!!

One more picture because everyone deserves to ride into Monday on a unicorn. She has the princess wave down.

Linking up with Biana. I hope you all have a fabulous week. If you are looking for me, you can probably find me under my desk crying and staring at the daycare cameras on my phone.
