weekend at a glance / day 1
I realized that I'll have to break this glance in numerous posts. I want to share quite a few pictures. And don't make me choose my favorites. I like them all!

Maxi dress + peonies {wiws}
Happy 29th birthday (3rd time around) to me!
Do not get me wrong... there is nothing bad about turning 30 or past 30. It's just funny that my sister greeted me with above greeting this morning.
Maxi dress ~ old navy, thrifted // pearls ~ Kaitlin's shop // shades ~ Isaac Mizrahi // espadrilles ~ coconuts via zulily // purse ~ Burberry
My outfit this Sunday is proof of my online shopping. Except for the purse which I purchased stepping into a physical burberry store in Chicago.
This is quick and sweet.
I will be posting more from my birthday weekend later this week.
kisses, friends.
linking up with FL&P & Sarah.

TK graduation + dress it up + birthday weekend {7qt}
1. TK graduation
My little guy has grown so much and learned so much since I dropped him off that first day of TK. Fast forward 9 months and here he is: receiving his TK completion certificate.
The program was so nice and sweet. They recited their prayers, alphabet song, days of the week, months, pledge of allegiance. They signed the alphabet! They also dance their TK song: Happy by Pharrell (which per NPR, has the balance of regular beats and complex beats that make us dance! I heard it on morning edition)
2. Peonies
I am so in love with my garden. I received these beauties a couple of birthdays ago. I have harvested 4 vase-fulls (not a word I know) of peonies. I kept two at home, gave one for birthday girl (see below) and one for my desk.
{sneak preview of one of my fave indulgences: clue: sugar, butter, banana and nutella}
3. a week is not complete without an outfit post....
Top ~ loft, thrifted // skirt ~ loft, old // pumps ~ aerosoles // necklace ~ from my my grandma
Top ~ express, old // skirt ~ F21, thrifted // sandals ~ target // pearls ~ Kaitlin's igshop
4. Lola turned 38.
Daniel said Lola is 37 years old... so that means, she turned 38 years old yesterday. her heart is as big as the pacific ocean. It is filled with love for these five beautiful grandchildren!
5. who is turning 18??? oh yeah, me!
This weekend is my birthday weekend.
Hubs: uhmm.. I forgot to ask you what you want for your birthday. Do you want anything in particular?
Me: well.... I got these sandals to match isabel's and this one-piece .... so you're covered.
Hautelook also has KSNY! I am eyeing the cross body bags... how many pink purses do I need?
**jcrew also has 30% off the sale items!
6. all-you-can-eat sushi
I was really skeptical about all-you-can-eat sushi. I am not a fan of sushi buffets in Japanese/Chinese buffet restaurants. They are not as good as the ones made to order.... but when my sister suggested we try Sushi Club because it has great reviews (I am surprised!), we went and celebrated mom's bday there.
If you eat the fancy rolls and nigiri, then the $19.99 all you can eat price is worth it. But if you just get 1-2 rolls (they have 8 in them!) you are better off ordering a la carte. I also like the policy that you pay the ones you cannot eat if >7 rolls left over (something like that). I hate wasting food.......
7. Picture I am sharing
look how Derrick found us. Knocked out and tired after a day at the museum.
It's Friday so my day is not complete without linking up with Jennifer!
I am also linking up with Lindsay and Sarah
Happy Friday! and Happy birthday weekend to me!

hi-lo + pearls {wiws}
How's your three-day weekend?
Me? I had the best surprise! I was scheduled to work both Sat and Sun. When another physician switched Sundays with me, I just assumed I am still rounding both Saturday and Sunday and be off around 5p Sunday. Well... well.. I found out this week that I am actually off Sunday at 8am. yippee!
After Mass today, we went to the pool to get some sun. We intentionally went opposite the race track to avoid the crowd.
Mass behaviors:
D ~ C
I ~ C
SJ ~ A++
I am not as generous as last week.
Pearls from my aunt // hi-lo floral dress ~ thrifted // flippity flops ~ reef
This boy and I had an impromptu milk shake date. Thanks to my in laws! We brought our sweet treats to a nearby park and just spent alone time without the children.
{we had to take pictures of course!}
also answering Kendra's questions this week:
1. Beach or Mountains? Where would you rather be?
Beach... no hesitation there.
I just told Derrick today that I want to retire near the water. I am going to be a pruny old woman reading my books, sunbathing.
2. Which is more fun: Christmas Eve, or Christmas morning?
I love Christmas Eve. I love Christmas Eve Mass, the carols, opening one present that night.
3. What’s the most embarrassing childhood outfit you remember wearing?
I have a lot of embarrassing childhood outfits. High waisted jeans, white socks with brown shoes and a dress (?!?!) but one thing I had on consistently was my Christmas tree hair-do. Meaning, I had a headband, a scrunchie for my ponytail then a big bow. A classmate actually pointed out that my hair looks like a Christmas tree.
4. Your house is quiet, you don’t have to do work (housework included). What do you do?
I think I will nap.
5. What movie do you want to watch when you’re feeling under the weather?
27 Dresses
or anything chick flicky
Linking up with the ladies of Finelinen and purple.
