I think we can all agree that there is a direct correlation between how much fun the weekend holds and how fast Monday sneaks up on us, right?
This weekend can be summed up in a few words: bottomless mimosas and endless laughs. Or if whiskey is more your taste, Missouri Mules and endless laughs. My cheeks still hurt. I should have known that Shanley’s choice for her birthday brunch would be top notch – she’s the stomach behind Eat It Kansas City, after all. Have you been to Sasha’s Baking Co. downtown? Scrumptious, I tell ya!
Needless to say, I took the Cookie Monster’s words to heart and really lived in the moment. And as a result, I broke my #DryJanuary commitment (I don’t think I had shared that with you all – SURPRISE!), but I can’t think of better reason. That doesn’t mean that I’m not gladly settling back into my no booze routine as we round out January.
The coming weeks/months have me feeling all sorts of antsy. You know, the type of excitement that causes you to wish away the so-so days just so you can get to the really good stuff! It’s going to take everything in me to remember to slow down and live in the moment. Between my first race of the year, my little brother turning 16, a trip to Houston with Pete’s family, a special collaboration that I can’t wait to share with you all soon and a few other things (coed Bar Method, anyone?), it’s going to be hard! I consider myself lucky to have so much to look forward to and so many special people to share the excitement with. To that I say, bring it on!
I can’t let you go without mentioning that there is an amazing sale happening over at Old Navy (and just about everywhere else). I’ve been waiting to buy a few staple pieces to add to my closet, including this blush cardigan and this short-sleeved striped top. When everything is up to 50% off with an additional 20% off at checkout, it’s justifiable!
SHOP OLD NAVY’S SALE!
And with that, I’m signing off. I hope you remember to live in the moment on this glorious Monday!
Fine, twist my arm and make me stock up on more of my favorite skinny jeans….
Please explain Missouri Mules, I’m a huge fan of Irish Mules, so I’m intrigued by this version…
Have a great week!

hahah agree! also, what makes these drinks a mule? i’ve only met the moscow mule before and it does not disappoint 🙂
hahaha yes 😉 It has whiskey, ginger beer, lime (lemon?) and probably a few other things. I just know they were delish!!
I so want to go to Old Navy but I have to be strong lol. Sounds like you had an amazing weekend!
love trying new brunch spots, thanks for the suggestion! 🙂
Love mimosas and love Old Navy! I hope you have a great week!

I’m picking out a birthday brunch spot for this weekend! And for the reason January is my birthday month, I could never have a dry month in January haha! Glad you had fun and made it worth it!
I am so with you on this. I have so many exciting things coming up that I’m trying to be better about appreciating the day that I’m currently in and not wishing the days away too fast. I can’t think of a better reason to break a dry month that a bottomless mimosa bday celebration!
Bottomless mimosas are my love language. Love this post!
My friends and I are looking for a new brunch place, definitely going to have to check that out sometime!!!

Cute picks from Old Navy! I stopped in there today just for fun!
oh man, I used to love bottomless mimosas and then stupid North Carolina took them away 🙁 Sounds like a fun weekend and you have so much to look forward to!
xo,

Every event should have bottomless mimosas, in my opinion. 🙂

Thank you for being a HUGE reason why my birthday was so special!
Sounds like a great weekend, and definitely a good reason to break your dry spell. I’ve attempted to do that but my husband’s New Years resolution appears to be the opposite…he keeps coming home with amazing wine!

I need to remember to slow down too and live in the moment! Great advice and I can’t wait to read about all the fun stuff you have coming up! Get it girl!

I am all about living in the moment, and a healthy dose of moderation when necessary. You, my dear, excel at both 🙂 xx
Bottomless mimosas are my jam! If only every weekend could include them….. Sounds like you have so many fun things to look forward to girl!!
Sometimes you have to cheat! I want to hear how you liked your #DryJanuary and if you felt/looked different.
I’m still going strong! Honestly, I look the same. However, I am much, much more productive on the weekends 😉 And Bar Method isn’t quite the struggle it normally is after a night with friends and heavy boozing.
