pretty nice little saturday

•••

On this day three years ago, it was a Saturday. It was a date that was a palindrome. It was warm.

On this day three years ago, the whole entire world existed in one small Minnesota town.
Happy Anniversary.
To being in the same country for the next one.
To another 1,095 days of love.

Mama Bear + Baby Bear

My 2nd weekend as a bachelorette, my mom came to visit. She is such a calming, comforting influence to have around. We also did a lot of eating. Does everyone else eat a lot when they are with their families?

I love my mom. We had a great time.

The drink we named Let Them Drink Cake; cake flavored vodka, orange soda + alcohol infused whip cream. Tastes a lot like orange dreamsicle. I preferred it without the whip {more fruity}.
Our lupper {lunch + supper} feast. We watched movies, did our nails, drank our fancy new invention & grazed on all of this fresh, yummy grub. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of our red velvet cake!
Any weekend with my family ends with a proper Sunday morning breakfast; scrambled eggs {2 whites/1 yoke}, whole wheat toast, steamed asparagus, pineapple orange juice + coffee.

I Smile {it's Wednesday!}

I Smile {it's Wednesday!}
You should smile too. Wanna? Go here.

With my favorite person out of the country, it has been a bit more challenging for me to find those smiley moments. But sure enough, they are always waiting behind the everyday beauty of my life.

This week I smile at...


...our garden that has gone a-wild and is a constant explosion of surprise blooms...
...tiger lilies. among my top favs...
...my gorgeous lake view apartment...
...the sweet indulgence of a mocha coconut frappuccino...
