Weekend Memo

It seems like it's been forever since I've checked in with you. So here's what's been going on. While in DC we celebrated the hubby's promotion. It's always a big deal when you reach professional goals and start moving up the ladder. I couldn't be happier for him. We've also started the plans of listing our current home for rent, and soon we will start house hunting in Miami. I have a list so long that I could cry. I am so overwhelmed that I have been putting that said list off. I know that's not the best plan of attack, but I'm not mentally ready to tackle it. I'm definitely feeling burnt out right now.But regardless, I seriously can't wait to start the search for a new home. I already have a growing list of things to see and places to eat while in Miami and I'll be sharing that big list with you soon. But, if you have any recommendations I'll happily accept them now.Weekend MemoSales . . . so many good sales going on right now. It might be the time to get something for Mother's Day. Loeffler Randall is having their friends & family sale . . . J. Crew just marked some great things on sale, and my Demylee pink sweater is now a quarter of the price. Snatch it while you can for next winter. I took my normal size in case you are wondering . . . Madewell is also having a sale up to 30% off your purchase . . . Heidi Merrick also has some great things marked down. I'm beginning to think that Heidi Merrick will be my go-to brand while in Miami. Being from the west coast, I can't wait to sport that California cool style in Miami . . . Kate Spade also started their friends & family sale with 25% off with code DEAREST.In case you missed it . . . gardening & picnic-ing, a delicious braised chicken stew recipe, good things, and my DC travel diary.Peony season is coming . . . I heard a rumor that my local Whole Foods will bring in a shipment next week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. And speaking of peonies, I'm heading over to a local Peony farm and I hope to take so many photos and share with you soon.Cooking . . . the perfect spring potato salad to add to my picnics.Reading . . . how women undermine each other with words.Summer wardrobe . . . I'm adding a few dresses for the Miami heat this summer. This Aritzia Bruni Dress sold out last year before I could get my hands on it and so glad they brought it back again this year. Definitely getting it in grey and maybe in black too. This ASOS striped flowy dress is also a must. And because I have a thing for grey dresses this one on major sale from Banana Republic. The quality is amazing, super-flattering and it's such a James Perse look-a-like for a fraction of the price.What's next . . . my Miami Beach musts, photos of some interior spaces that will influence how we decorate our home in Miami, and our go-to better-for-you snacking, and some Mother's Day ideas.Happy Weekend!!P.S. I'm running my first 5k with the kids tomorrow. Wish me luck!image[thefeedproducts style='two']
