Weekend Update

We had a great weekend and I'm definitely not ready for Monday! Best thing about today is it starts a 2-day work week for us! Here are some scenes from our weekend.

I wore my Gap t-shirt dress and loved it!
{Dress: Gap, Necklace: Francesca's, Watch: Fossil, Shoes: Tory Burch Miller sandals}

We spent some time outside despite the hot weather, so of course I had to take pictures of my doggy "daughters". We also tried a new wine...the hubby picked this up at the store because he liked the label. It was decent but had a little bite. If you like a little stronger red wine then I suggest trying it. I picked up a new plant for the house called a Peperomia - I really liked the leaves. The beach chair art was from a Giveaway from Laura Trevey at Bright Bold and Beautiful. She has amazing watercolors and you have to check out her site! The pink camera art was from a purchase I made on Sneakpeeq from Coco Draws. I love it and have so many ideas of where I want to put it!


The hubby & I also went to have Vietnamese food. This was my first time and I was so impressed! We had the shrimp & pork spring rolls and Pho. I had the seafood and it was delicious! Of course we cheered with a little Ichiban, how could we not?!?!



Finally, Sunday evening we had our good friends, The Couch Family, over for dinner. I made a great PW Peach Whiskey Chicken, Fancy Mac & Cheese (sans gorgonzola) and sateed spinach. (come back tomorrow for the recipes). We had a great time as always & Lady (our Sheltie) just loves their son Wade so he got in on a little photo op. Then little sister, Angie, had to join in too! They are so cute! Lady did such a good job with both of the kids and I can't wait to see how she does once we start a family.


Tell me, what did you do to beat the summer heat this past weekend?

I am also committing to the Photo a Day for the month of July. I think it will be fun to challenge myself to take more pictures. July 1st was the first picture of the post. 
You should join me!

I love your t-shirt dress! And I've never had Vietnamese food either, but you might have convinced me to try it! Glad you had a good weekend.

We actually got a cold front this weekend...it only hit in the 80's. It was heaven...we could actually sit outside for once! Did it cool off for you guys? Dinner looked fab....looks like you enjoyed yourself this weekend!

You sound like such an amazing cook! Love that Gap dress on you.

I love that t-shirt dress. I wish I could pull that off. And what on earth is Sneakpeeq? Sounds like it may be similar to Etsy? I mean, of course I could google it...but that'd be no fun! Thanks for linking up!
