Last Weekend

I am so excited that it is the weekend!!!

But, first, last weekend...

My birthday was Tuesday so my Mom came up to hang out Saturday-Monday.  

We tried out Butcher & Bee in downtown Charleston.

You can see my Grilled Cheese (with broccoli!) and my Mom's french toast here. 

The food was good.  We had to sit outside because it was packed inside.  Very cute place.  I will definitely go back to try the Veggie Plate and other items on the menu.  My only complaint was that there was a long blonde hair wrapped around my pickle.  No, I didn't complain.. For some reason I am super observant and always manage to find things in my food. Sigh. So unless it's a big bug or something that looks like bodily fluids, I will usually not say anything.  Ha.

We all went to the Boone Hall Pumpkin Patch on Sunday.  The kids had a good time walking through the corn maze and petting the animals in the petting zoo.

Here's me and the husband:

 Can you tell that my eyes are closed?!  Haha someone insisted we take the picture facing the sun.

I don't think I've mentioned it on here, but we adopted a puppy from a local shelter a few weeks ago.  Her name is Bailey and she is the sweetest lab mix evvvver.  Here she was the other day cruising in my son's booster seat:

She is a nut!

Anyway. Back to the weekend.  We stopped by Trader Joe's and got these:

Yes, I've already eaten almost all of the top row.  They are sooo good.

My mom made me a German Chocolate cake for my birthday so I've pretty much been eating that for breakfast all week.  I didn't do anything exciting for the birthday because my son had football practice and my husband had to work.  I did get some gift cards and a couple of things from J.Crew though so it was a nice day :)  I am def looking forward to some shopping!!

Speaking of shopping, I have almost had my hands on this scarf TWICE now.

 Target Oversized Plaid Scarf

So depressing.  Lol. I like a challenge though so I might be stalking Target's site every few hours to see if it is back in stock either online or at a local store. ;)

What are y'all up to this weekend?  We have my son's last football game (thank goodness, this season has been a beating) on Saturday.  Hopefully we can get downtown and try out another restaurant since the weather is going to be nice!

Hope y'all have a safe and fun weekend!!

Exploring Charleston #2 - Ro Sham Beaux and O'Hara & Flynn

Happy Monday!

On Friday, I stopped in Ro Sham Beaux on Broad Street.  They have so many amazing things in there:

I then walked over to Waterfront Park.  It was a grey day out but the temps were fantastic and hardly anyone was around yet.  This is one of my favorite parts of the park, right near the Pineapple Fountain:

 Friday night, my kids were at my Dad's so my husband and I tried out O'Hara & Flynn Wine Bar.

I should have taken more pics but the lights are dim and it's definitely more of a romantic mood so I didn't want to be taking pics with flash.  In the picture above is the Bruschetta with avocado.  It is SOOOO good.  We also tried the House-made Hummus (we liked it but not the roasted red peppers), the Apple Brie Plate (very good), the Coffee Ice Cream (delish). 

I would definitely go back again.  It is small and intimate (about 5 tables and then some seats at the bar) - perfect for date night.

Saturday my son had his flag football game and the rest of the weekend we spent hanging out around the house.
