Saturday Kyle went golfing early so Mills and I made a donut run.
Saturday started out gorgeous but quickly turned to a rainy yucky day. It would have been a great day for cleaning but someone was on a nap strike all day so that didn't happen. Let's just say no naps and rain make for a super long Saturday with a busy 1 yr old.
We headed out to celebrate our 5 year anniversary in Annapolis. Our anniversary isn't until this Friday 8/29 but this was the only date we could get out. For locals we went to Osteria 177. We had never been there before but I would definitely go back. It's Italian food and it was all so good. We had homemade burrata mozzarella to start and I had penne alla vodka with fresh crab meat and Kyle had a veal Parmesan. We finished off the dinner with creme brulee and (decaf) cappuccino. We don't go on many date nights anymore just the two of us so it was nice so sneak away for a bit.
We tried to snap a cute couple photo before we left but everyone wanted in on the picture :)
On Sunday it was absolutely gorgeous so we couldn't stay inside. We played tourist and walked the Naval Academy and had lunch downtown Annapolis. There were about 1000 other actual tourists down there but it wasn't as bad as we expected. I love when the weather cools and the tourists leave, that's when Annapolis is at its best.
Since September 1st is next week I'm holding onto summer just one more week with this super pink Sinful Colors polish, then I'll start breaking out my moody fall colors. It's called Pink Forever but I call it Barbie Pink.
Now I would love to hear from you all... lately I feel like I'm running out of blog ideas or I have a ton of ideas but don't feel inspired to sit down and actually write. I would to hear from you all about what you like reading here or if there is anything you want more or less of.
- baby, pregnancy, life recaps, fashion, around my house, budgeting, shopping, etc. Feel free to be honest!
Thanks again for always coming back here and being loyal readers!!
Linking up with Biana for Weekending
Happy Anniversary! I love your family photo :) That polish is perfect. I've been trying to hold out on going dark for fall, but don't know if I can do it much longer! I really like everything you blog about, but of course I'm biased about all the baby stuff :) :) I also love fashion and home decor posts!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary- adorable photo! I love everything you blog about- loved the day in the life post from awhile back. I always love house pictures/home tours. Also love baby stuff- hearing about pregnancy or what favorite baby things you like!
ReplyDeleteHappy almost anniversary! You look so pretty! I love Annapolis and I am so jealous that you live there!!! I love your blog and anything going on in your life I love reading about (I'm super nosy.)
ReplyDeleteAw love that photo of your little family!! It looks so beautiful by the water there! I run out of ideas with blogging too, remember to stick to what you want to write about and what is important to you. That said, I personally love the baby posts now that I've got a little one on the way!
ReplyDeleteLocal fresh doughnuts are always better then DD or KK in my opinion!! I love your family picture! So cute that Layla wanted to be in it too. We all get stuck in a rut at times and lack content. I know I am right now!! I always love fashion and just random posts about what's going in your life.
ReplyDeletehappy anniversary! i love your nail polish!! ;) xo jillian - cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love all the family photos and I mean who doesn't love a doughnut run!? I'm holding out with my summer colors too and love the barbie pink ou went with!! I'd love to see some budgeting and home decor posts!! :)
ReplyDeleteA donut run sounds like my kind of mini-trip and congratulations on your 5-year anniversary! The dish you had sounds delicious, especially with crab! Have a wonderful week xo
ReplyDeleteYou guys are too cute and I loved seeing ya'll had a fun anniversary date night. My internet was down and I missed commenting on a few of your last posts regarding M's eating. Brody is fickle these days with what he's liking and what he's not and I pretty much only get him to eat his vegetables if it's pureed in a store-bought pouch. I love reading all your posts honestly. Of course I love reading about sweet Mills and anything going on in life. I always love day in life posts // food // and the random confessional honest posts!!
ReplyDeleteYour family picture is really adorable - and you looked great all dolled up!
ReplyDeleteLove any "life" posts. What you're eating, wearing, watching...all that good stuff....and I'd love to see house posts too!
Yay! Happy early Anniversary! The family photo is adorable and definitely frame worthy :)
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly new to your blog and love it :) (and really like knowing you in real life, too!) Always enjoy hearing more about your home - how about your home decor tips??
I'm in the DC area and love, love, love Annapolis so much! It sounds like you had a great anniversary date night! I'll have to keep that restaurant in mind the next time we're that way!
ReplyDeleteYour family photo is precious! Your doughnut pictures have me seriously craving a doughnut right now! :)
ReplyDeleteOk, so now I want donuts, crab, and veal parm! Sounds like a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteJust reading about your anniversary dinner has me drooling! Thank goodness it's almost dinner time :) I'll honestly read anything but I think my favorite posts are just regular life ones, like these! Beautiful family picture!
ReplyDeleteAnnapolis looks beautiful! What a cute family :)
