Weekend Report

Thursday night my friend Shelby had some girls at her house for a little Valentine's themed fondue night. Joel stayed home with the babe, and I got to indulge in a night full of girl time.




Only problem? I indulged in way more glasses of wine than I'm used to and stayed up way later than normal, which meant that I paid a dear, dear price on Friday.


It was my first hangover in a year, and lets just say I could go without one for another year. I felt like I was hit by a large bus.

With that being said, we ordered pizza on Friday night and I went to bed at the same time Leo did.

 

Thankfully by Saturday I was back to normal because Joel had to leave for an overnight work trip and I had two girlfriends coming over for a "stock the freezer" day. 

 

It was our first go around at it, and although we haven't taste tested the recipes, I actually think it was a success.

We each made one recipe (I did stuffed meatballs, a tried and true freezer staple in our house) and tripled it so that we each took home three different dinners to the freezer. 


It was a lot of work but actually really fun. Plus, it was so nice having company around since it was just Leo and I all day. Solo parenting is not an easy task. 

Thankfully Joel was only in San Fran so by the time Leo woke up from his morning nap, Dad was home! 


I snuck away for a much needed 3 mile run, and then the three of us hung out all day and just relaxed. 

I made my crack dip and April's buffalo turkey meatballs to nosh on during the game, felt like I could hold down a beer again, and were happy to see former Vol Peyton Manning take home the victory. 

   
        

May you be happy always.:

  3. That Valentine's Day party looks so pretty! I love the idea of stocking the freezer together with friends too. Yay for surviving solo parenting on Saturday too!

  5. I'm not sure who this small child is sitting in that chair... where is BABY LEO?

    (And I've never really gotten into Valentine's Day, but I'm thinking I might have to do some pretty table decor like that - such big impact!)

  6. I think hangovers are bad these days and I don't even have a child yet! Props to you. Love the "stock the freezer" idea!

  7. I feel like hangovers have gotten SO much worse in the last few years! Your fondue party looks like so much fun, and I definitely need to recruit some friends for a stock the freezer party!
