here's to a fabulous weekend!

hello! 

how was your weekend, friends?

mine was pretty fabulous! 

it was supposed to be jam packed...

but it actually ended up being pretty relaxing :)

as mentioned on friday's post, 

i took a "sun day" on friday...
i started my morning off with breakfast with a friend...

then i just planned on biking through the city or having a picnic in the park,

but spontaneously ended up joining a girlfriend for a little day trip...

we went to Vantage, WA on the Columbia River

{it is about 2 1/2 hours east of Seattle & was about 10 degrees warmer!!!}

the drive was absolutely gorgeous...

i have always had this thing for windmills...

they remind me of road trips when i was little :)

there is the Columbia River...

we had the entire beach nearly to just ourselves

{the closest to a personal island as we could get!}

i made sangria for the occasion!

it was deeeeeeeelicious :)

{ingredients: strawberries, raspberries, green apples, blueberries, 

white peaches, fresh squeezed orange juice & garnacha wine}

i was supposed to attend a wine event on saturday, 

but i was feeling a bit under the weather, so i stayed in...

& had lots of ME time 

{i was needing me time so bad!}

i worked on my blog most of the time...

as you might see, i revamped my page a bit :)

i refreshed my logo,

learned how to make buttons {finally!}

& made a few other small tweaks...

all things that i have been wanting to do for so long, 

but was not finding the time for.

YAY!!!

saturday was also a food experimenting day...

{greek yogurt with maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon 

blueberries, raspberries & strawberries, topped with oats}

YUM :)

{popcorn with olive oil, sea salt & basil}

this was so tasty! 

i just buy the popcorn kernels in bulk & cook them in a pot w/ olive oil & sea salt...

but as i was starting to heat up the pot, i caught the basil out of the corner of my eye...

so i threw a few leaves in to cook with the popcorn...& poof! oh my tastiness!

{i even enjoyed tearing up the fresh leaves and sprinkling on top}

sunday 

{the real sunday, which was actually cloudy and a bit rainy}

was jackson's 3rd birthday - the son of one of my best friends...

so, the day was spent with friends & lots of kids :)

i would love to hear how your weekend was!
