Weekend Memo
I am so happy Friday is here and very excited for the weekend! We are hosting a Halloween brunch tomorrow and I am cooking some delicious food. I will be prepping a few things today for the brunch. We love entertaining and I am looking forward to sipping on Mimosas and catching up with some friends while the kiddos dress up in their Halloween costumes and play. I am planning on setting up our dining table and pull out our new dining chairs and sit on our courtyard, but I guess that will depend on the weather cooperating. Rain is in the forecast so we shall see.
And next week some exciting things are happening here so make sure you stop by. And now for some links and highlights of my week.
• Halloween Idea • I recently showed you via instagram my tiny ghost cookies for our brunch. I used a tiny tulip cookie cutter and just a flip transformed them into ghosts. Here's where the idea came from. I will be decorating them today.
• Entertaining • For the brunch this weekend, I am hoping to set the kitchen island in this manner with our Halloween pumpkin pancakes and I am making a big gilded antler pumpkin for a fun outdoor {or indoor} centerpiece.
• What I'm Wearing lately • A pretty simple outfit that included my favorite loafers, skinny jeans, and a basic grey tee.
• Blogging Tips • I couldn't have said it better. Elizabeth shared 5 ways to refresh your blogging attitude.
• Photography Tips • Kristin shared her photography tips and it just reminded me how much I need a real camera. Needless to say that a good camera has been added to my Christmas wish list.
• NYC Series • Mackenzie started a NYC series a few weeks ago and I am loving seeing all the wonderful eating spots in New York. A NYC trip is definitely on our list of things to do while we live in the East Coast. I need to make a list of cities to visit and work on getting this list checked off.
• Feel-good Moment • It felt pretty awesome when Furbish Studio regrammed this photo of my breakfast which included their Mrs. glass.
• Wise Words • This entire list! It might just turn into my 2014 manifesto. Can you believe I have already started jotting some things for my 2014 new years resolution? I guess I should probably start working on them now.
• Blog Survey • I am loving reading your feedback on the blog. Completely anonymous by the way, so if you haven't done it yet, please take a short 10-minute break {probably more like 5} and take the survey here. Pretty please! I will share the results next week.
Anyway, I think that's it. I am off to start prepping for the Halloween brunch. I will share some photos via instagram. So follow along.
Enjoy your weekend!
