Weekend Recap: Blackouts, Delicious Food & Art Fair

By: Annie Wagner

Annie here – we had quite the weekend in Ann Arbor. Brian and I had date night plans on Friday to celebrate our five year anniversary since we have a new live in nanny – my sister, Emma ;). Our plans were foiled by crazy storms and a 20 hour power outage. Thankfully we have very sweet friends Hunter, Jillian and their daughter and Margot’s bestie, Maya, invited us over for a sleepover in their air conditioned house. Thank goodness for good friends (who also happened to have power). We made the best of the situation and woke up early Saturday morning and had a lovely breakfast on the patio before it got too hot to be outside.

While we waited for our power to come back on we enjoyed one of our favorite gourmet lunches, chicken bakes at Costco – YUM.

  • Costco Chicken Bake –
    pretty much why we have a membership
  • Weekend uniform –
    Madewell jorts, cotton tee and scrunchie bun
  • Happy to be back home with her ‘looks’

After lunch and some errands, we came home to our power back on and all took naps in the air conditioning. We ended our Saturday with dinner and water games outside back at our friends house. Jillian made a delicious meal – Shauna Niequist’s Lemon Dill Soup and Summer Salad from her cookbook Savor: Living Abundantly Where You Are, As You Are (recipes pictured below) – nothin like hot soup on the hottest day of the year! Call us crazy but it was SO good and refreshing. I’d eat that soup on the sun.

Sunday morning was a little cooler so we decided to head to the Ann Arbor Art Fair. This is one of our little towns biggest events of the year that brings artists from all over the world and over 400,000 visitors! We enjoyed all kinds of art as well as some delicious fair food.

  • Waffle on a Stick – I love the midwest
  • Free Mojito flavored La Croix – yes please!

After a very hot weekend, we decided to stay in Sunday evening and make tostadas and watch season 2 of Big Little Lies. If you don’t have HBO, now is the time to start your free trial and binge watch both seasons of BLL – we haven’t finished the second season so no spoilers please!!

  • Lazy Sunday with my girl 🙂
  • Kitchen Sink Tostadas –
    basically all of our leftovers from the week piled on a crispy tortilla

Sending cooler weather your way!

NYC Weekend Packing

By: Emily Heaston

Tim and I are heading to NYC tomorrow am, and I’m trying to decide what to pack! It’s nearly mid-April, but it’s FREEZING and last night it was hailing here in Iowa, so I’m having trouble picking out Spring clothes! It’s only in the 40s in NYC today too, so I need to pack warm stuff that will be comfortable for walking a lot! Here are some favorite early-Spring outfits for Saturday daytime:
