Here we are the start of a new week once again, and Christmas is only 14 days away! Now that my friends is hard to believe! December is flying by that is for sure. I feel like this weekend went by in a flash. One minute I was relaxing on the couch watching a movie and in the blink of an eye it was Sunday night, and I was prepping for another work day. I wish the work week could fly by like weekends do!
Anyways here are 5 highlights from my lightening fast weekend!
1- I know I am a little behind on the times, but this past Friday I finally saw The Help!
I loved the movie. While the movie didn't follow the book exactly I thought the producers did a wonderful job of captivating the message behind the book. There were times I felt tears welling up behind my eyes, and other times I laughed so hard my stomach hurt (seeing Hilly's face after eating the pie)!
2- Another thing I am also late to the game on this one folks... Skinny Jeans! I finally broke down and bought my first pair of skinny jeans on Saturday. I was just so sick of having baggy knees when I would tuck normal straight leg jeans into boots!
I bought a pair of the Dark Wash Always Skinny jeans from Gap!
3- Partying for this lovely ladies birthday!
Recipe found here!
5- And lastly a big bowl of soup to take off the winter chill! 
Recipe found Here (next time I am adding quinoa)!
How was your weekend?
I still haven't seen the help either! I just read the book this past summer and loved it so much. Those zucchini muffins look sooo delish! xo

Isn't The Help great? I totally agree. That recipe looks amazing. Going to have to try it!
ReplyDeleteThose muffins look so so delish! I'll have to make them sometime after Xmas.
ReplyDeleteThose muffins looks so tasty! And I'm glad you hopped on the band wagon with the skinny jeans. I currently have...4 pairs. But I wear boots a lot, so they are perfect for that!

ReplyDeleteThe Help is such a great movie - love it! And those muffins look phenomenal!!

ReplyDeleteI LOVED the book, could not put it down, so I was very worried about what the movie would do to it....I was pleasantly surprised! One of the best book-to-movie-adaptations I think! :)
I can't wait to see The Help! I've been saving that book for my New Year's vacation, so I plan on reading that and coming home and seeing the movie!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fabulous weekend :)

hiiii... so I have a copy of The Help and I'm getting ready to see it this weekend I hope, everyone tells me it is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAnd I didn't know Gap made the Dark Wash Skinny Jeans, I actually have their Black Skinny Jeans, they only make them in black and gray, and I wish they'd come up with more colors. I love the fit. Great picks!!! :-)
I can't wait to see The Help. I read the book and just loved it! I've been recently looking for a book just as good as that one...
ReplyDeleteHow are you liking your skinnies? I loved the Help. I read the entire thing on a road trip from Chicago to Minnesota! :)
