Sleep: I've actually been getting great sleep this week! 

Best moments this week: Catching up with friends and showing off Max's nursery!

1) Ashlie's surprise visit! We spent the evening catching up over a tasty homemade meal. Since she just moved back from Minnesota, it had been quite some time since the three of us were able to hang out, so her overnight was an awesome excuse to talk all night. It was also fun to show her the nursery and Max's little clothes! We're so glad to have her back on the east coast! Ashlie also brought us some excellent cupcakes from Sweet Theory. I may have had a banana cupcake with espresso buttercream for breakfast on Sunday... that counts as a muffin, right?

2) Hanging out with Maggie on Monday. Where would I be without my work bestie? We spent the afternoon sewing curtains for her classroom and planning for this school year. Now that Max's nursery is almost finished, she wanted a peek- and who am I to refuse?! After our nursery tour and finishing up the curtains, Maggie and I went out for an excellent BBQ lunch nearby. We had tender pulled pork sandwiches and baked beans that left me so full I didn't eat for the rest of the day! Crafting, thought-provoking conversation, and a yummy lunch- now that's what I call quality girl time!
