Happy Weekend!

Happy weekend, everyone! How are you? Our week was uneventful in the best possible way. Maya napped like a champ and even managed to sleep through the night a few nights, too. She still seems to wake herself up around 5:30am but we’re hoping that eases forward an hour in the near future. Michael is away this weekend visiting his brothers, so Maya and I are on our own for the first time in Houston. So weird! We’re going to do a lot of what we usually do. Nap, eat, play, repeat. The weather warm and breezy so we’ll continue some of our bottles al fresco! Maya loves looking up at the bamboo trees swaying against the blue sky next to our patio.

Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend? I can’t believe Dublin got snow this week! And I’m so glad to be getting a few months’ reprieve in the winter department. It’s not really in the top 100 things I miss about Dublin or Maine. February and March have been my favorite weather months in Houston. I fully appreciate the lack of humidity most days!

The rhododendrons are blooming here in Houston (the photo above snapped on a neighborhood run last week), which reminds me of Dublin’s June rhododendron blossoms at Deer Park. It’s worth marking your calendar in advance!

Really cool wire house numbers – for when we finally get to return to that house in Dublin that we own!

Make your own edible birthday candles. Clever!

An app for choosing your baby’s name. It has swiping like Tinder, ha!

Great family habits for eating less sugar. I’m on day 5 of a month-long  (or longer?) no-sugar kick and I’m currently eating way more real foods than I had been.

While Michael’s away this weekend, so I’m going to catch up on House of Cards and maybe start the new season.

This looks like a very affordable and relatively simple DIY marble accent table.

Happy weekending, team! I hope yours is lovely!
