Coffee Conversations

a sweet moment with my boy // outfit links

Who is ready for the weekend? Liam was a bit under the weather for a chunk of this week, but he seems to be feeling better and back to himself! It’s hard to see your kids sick, especially when they can’t articulate what’s going on. My parents got into town yesterday, so we’ve got some fun plans for the weekend!

Mike and I watched a movie for the first time in a long time last weekend. We watched The Dry through Amazon Prime. I remember considering reading the book awhile back, but never getting around to it. For a random Saturday night movie pick, I’d say it was pretty decent!

My sister and I made this pasta on Wednesday night and I’m still thinking about it. It was fantastic! And not hard to make. I will be making it again, probably alongside some crispy panko-crusted chicken. I’ll definitely make the pesto again and use it in other ways!

I just ordered this dress and I’m really hoping that it’s as cute on me as it is on the model!
