…you know, when your friend calls and says, “hey, you want to plan a girls day at my cabin to snow-shoe & have lunch next week?” and you make her repeat it because you’re pretty sure she just said “snow-shoe & have lunch next week at my cabin” in the same sentence and snow-shoeing isn’t exactly something you do every day and surely you misunderstood her. but you didn’t. and you’re really glad when you agree to go.

i’m thirty-five.
as in, almost twenty-four hours ago, i turned thirty-five.

girls lunch on friday at smashburger…my choice of restaurant!

ummm, how cool is that?

don’t be fooled by the african-theme,
because there is no african food,
only italian.

the menu boasts healthy italian flare,
with a big open atmosphere.

my girlfriends and i have pretty much fallen in love with this place.

we’ve been going there regularly for a few months now,

this hot momma is just a couple weeks away from welcoming a bundle of blue into their family. have you ever seen such a small, adorable *baby bump? we’re all jealous! very very jealous.

to celebrate, we went up to sundance today for a luncheon-baby shower. It could not have been a more beautiful day, the fall colors are on display, and absolutely gorgeous! just like the momma we were celebrating with…

best wishes & lots of love, we can’t wait to meet the handsome little man!

xoxo.

* there is a BABY BUMP contest going on with a local radio station here in utah,

{girls night out – – – girls afternoon out}

a few of my favorite neighborhood women and moi went to lunch at the nordstrom cafe’ and treated ourselves to pedicures…

it was sooooo fun, yummy, and relaxing!

low-carbers: if you have not been to the nordstrom cafe’, they have some great salads. my favorite is the chicken pistachio salad, and I use their cherry balsamic dressing. it’s a staple in my weekly line-up of food,
