simple.

whew, what a great weekend.

hope everyone enjoyed theirs by eating a lot of good food, spending time with family and friends, and even checking a few things off their christmas lists. that's what we did!

scroll down for the deets.

did anyone brave the malls on black friday?

what kind of deals did you score?

preschool luncheon for mini-he...they sang a few songs before lunch and even prepared a special dessert for us.

hosted and cooked a simple thanksgiving lunch at our house for my sister's in-laws. turkey and baked salmon on the menu, followed by bingo for prizes.

i was one number shy of a blackout!

next up was a catered thanksgiving dinner at my sister's house. honey roasted bone-in ham & honey roasted turkey with mochi rice, veggies, salad, shrimp/egg rolls/wings/dumplings appetizers, and pumpkin crunch on the menu.

we also celebrated my sister's birthday.

and finally, a bit of black friday shopping.

stocked up on my favorite button-ups and long-sleeved tees.

(gilly hicks shirt; old navy pants; go jane shoes; libi&lola bracelet)

shop the look:

pure wicked.

i finally found my perfect tee...this v-neck from the GAP pure collection. i want to go back and get a white one, too. it's super soft but still has enough structure to not look sloppy. i've worn it with jeans and even tucked into a pencil skirt

for work...it's that versatile.

my weekend outfits are usually some variation of this. it's simple and unfussy which is my goal when chauffeuring the minis around. to complete the look, i make sure to wear a pair of oomph-worthy shoes, like these wicked spiked, leopard loafers. they really are wicked...the spikes are pointy enough that mini-he started crying when he stepped on my shoes. eek!

friday casual.

tgif.

just a super casual friday outfit that i always feel good in...my denim flares and a button up [or is it button down?].

at one point i couldn't get enough of gingham ones in particular, but they were sold out everywhere. they seem to be hitting the shelves again at gap and j. crew and old navy.

another busy weekend ahead. movies on the big screen in the yard tonight...think blankets, popcorn, and hot chocolate. then saturday i'm participating in relay for life with the girls. we'll be walking to honor cancer survivors and those we have lost. one of our classmates recently lost her battle with breast cancer. to learn more about the event, feel free to check out my page here. and sunday is all about the minis...swim, tutoring,

and singing classes.

what's up for your weekend?
