Remember when I did my Best Week Ever round up posts? Like…3 times? months ago?
I’m bringing them back!
I need a place to talk about all the random stuff that happens during the week that I can’t seem to fit into a post with bread or cookies or salads. Plus, it gives me a reason to take pictures of things other than food.
Let’s get started – Best Week Ever, 11/20/11!
I took this picture a few weeks ago, when the trees in our yard were absolutely gorgeous. Now the leaves are gone.
I miss fall already, and it’s not even officially winter!
I am in love with my new gray wedges (Target) and red capris (Victoria’s Secret). They are so comfy! And I’m not wearing sweats = bonus.
And speaking of clothes, I already had a little pity party on Facebook a few weekends ago, but my all time favorite jeans finally ripped.
I’ve had these jeans for 5 years, and it makes me so sad that they’re starting to fall apart. I got them at Target and when I finally went to buy more, they had stopped carrying this style.
Maggie was sad for me, too.
We had both our families here this weekend for two reasons: The VT/UNC game (we froze our tails off, but it was fun!) and to do some painting and peel down wallpaper.
I’m going to have a separate post about the house updates, but here’s a glimpse of what our kitchen looks like when there are more people here than just me and Nick:
We had 6 people, 3 dogs, 2 cats, lots of bread, a ton of ham, and cookies. And french toast.
PS: Have you made this bread yet?
Please, please, please do it! I made two loaves on Friday. We ate one as sandwiches with lunch and turned the second one into french toast Saturday morning.
That’s how my week was, minus a few house updates that you’ll be getting soon enough.
How was your week?

Love the flats! Very cute :)
Oh my gosh- I want those shoes. Need….ok just want. Cute outfit. Love your pup :). Week has been good! Played a lot of catch up, taught some great classes, had a date with Josh!
What kind of dog is Maggie? She looks JUST like Mac (he’s Australian Shepherd, maybe mixed with something?) but they have the same color eyes which I love :)
Now excuse me, but I must run to Target as there’s a pair of gray flats I have to acquire.
She’s a Brittany Spaniel – her hazel eyes are my favorite thing :)
I get sad when jeans start to wear out, too. I’m definitely not the kind of girl that can happily change her entire wardrobe every season or year… I wear clothes to their breaking point!
Sounds like it was a wonderful week! Your kitchen looks gorgeous! So much light! I’m jealous.
Awesome crops! I’ve been super obsessed lately with non-denim pants. I wish I was bold enough to pull of bright red ones – they look so fun!
you totally can! i wasn’t sure about them, either, but I love ’em
Those jeans and wedges are so cute together!
This post is a delight: It cheered me and made me take another look at my own week past, which I’d thought was pretty helacious as I was enduring it.
Looking back, though, plenty of great stuff happened: I got to brew coffee for food journalists at a Good Food Awards press breakfast (and walked out with jar upon jar of nominated preserves and pickles, not to mention armloads of fresh cheese), I started planning my upcoming trip to Italy (!!!), I cooked good food for friends and ate better food with my husband, I ran a beautiful race in brisk autumn air this morning…
Life is good. Thank you for the reminder — I really needed it.
Thanks for the note :) a trip to Italy sounds fantastic!
1. I’m lusting over those shoes AND the capris
2. That bread? Well we both know how I feel about that bread.
3. I think I need to make french toast now
yes, you DO need to make french toast :)
I love the red pants and wedges! I saw red jeans at Target and now regret not getting them. They look great on!
Those Target wedges are the best!! I have them in gray and I’m going to try and find the black too. Yours look super cute with the red pants!
i need them in black, too! i love them
For someone who claims to not be very stylish, that outfit is killer! It’s simple but very cute and quiet stylish :)
aw, thanks! that was a good style day :)
Um, so I somehow missed this post…oops…but I love, love, love the outfit with the wedges!!!
ha, thanks! :)
