Errand train, and a nomination
Howdy friends, and happy Wednesday!
Is it us, or does this week seem to be flying by? Not only do we feel like we are in a time warp, but we have 1,233 things to do before we leave town again on Friday. Mr. B and we are heading to Tulsa, Oklahoma to visit Scott and Jessica, and their bundle of joy, Gabriella. Hard to believe she is a month old already. Where does the time go? Tear. Before we dive into today’s post, the kind and lovely Julia over at The Roasted Rootnominated us for the Food Stories Award! Whoo-hoo! Thanks, Julia. In order to complete our nomination, we have to tell y’all one thing about myself and also nominate five other foodie bloggers whose stories we have a blasty-blast reading! First up, the one thing…we do a great impression of Axl Rose dancing. Totes true. Second…the five other bloggers we're currently digging and would love to nominate: – Kat @ Tenaciously Yours – Megan @ Wanna Be A Country Cleaver – Jeanne @ Inside NanaBreads Head – Kirsten @ Comfortably Domestic – Carrie @ Bakeaholic Mama Whether we actually win the award or not, we're still grateful to even be nominated. This is why the blog community is AH-mazing. It truly is a place where people can come together (even if it’s through the “interwebs”) and be a part of a positive support network. A major high-five goes out to all bloggers! Okay, moving on. As we mentioned earlier, we have a major to-do list to tackle before we head out of Dodge in two days. The first stop on the errand train, Target. We needed to find a present for Ms. Gabriella and Ms. Ella Rose (who will be turning 3 on Monday)! We could have spent all day in the fairy princess aisle playing with Barbies and Cabbage Patch dolls, but we quickly remembered that we wasn’t five when trying to squeeze into that pink tutu. Plus, the stink-eye from the Target employee didn’t help either. Whatevs. Second stop, Uncle Nordies (or Nordstroms if you must). We are in dire need of new summer footwear. Yes, Old Navy flip-flops will always be a staple in our warm weather shoe selection, but we needed something with a bit more support. Enter these cute wedges made by Toms! Adorable. Stop three, four, five, and six were speedy, and simple: – World Market -> wine, please! – Whole Foods -> needed Greek Yogurt – Bed, Bath, and Beyoooooooond -> needed new white hand towels, but didn’t find anything – Car wash -> Memorial weekend left the ol’ jeep looking a little crusty Phew. After all of that running around, you bet your sweet tookus we wasn’t going to be cooking dinner tonight. Lucky stop number seven, Chipotle. We swear Chipotle can save lives because if we had to think about washing dishes we would have gone Wayne Brady on someone. Thankfully no dishes were required for this dinner. Chicken burrito bowl. Hello, gorgeous! And a little mocktail to go alongside. Sanity saved. Have a good evening! P. S. Congrats to our friend, Meg! She gave birth to a beautiful lighter baby girl today! Love to Kevin and you!
