Happy Monday, readers! Hope your weekend was great. Mine was busy, but in a very good way. As you can tell from the photos, alot of it was spent eating. One of our favorite pastimes. :) Aside from stuffing our faces, we got out to enjoy the sunshine and the nice weather. After the winter we've had, Spring finally decided to show up! :) We spent Saturday at my nephew's 8th birthday party and I saw some family I hadn't seen in years. Yes, apparently it is possible to live in close proximity to people that share your bloodline and only see their faces at annual birthday parties. ;) We had a great time and the weather cooperated enough to let the children run around outside before the sun set.  Sunday was spent shopping, signing up for Wanderlust and my first Mommy + Baby Yoga class. A run to Whole Foods to pick up a few things was also in the cards, as well as an evening in to catch up on all of our missed shows on the DVR.  This afternoon we went to the park along with all of New York City it seemed, as every bench was occupied with people out enjoying the 70 degree weather as well. Tomorrow, the meteorologists are promising 80 degree weather. Guess who's crossing every finger she owns?! 
Hope you had a productive {and warm} day where you are!

patron pineapple

It is not hard to love pineapple. I love tropical fruits; mango, being my favorite. Pineapples are my husband's fruit of choice. For Oscar night, I opted to satisfy us both. This tequila drink was refreshing and tasty and was very reminiscent of an oceanside siesta on a lounge chair with an umbrella drink in hand. A perfect welcome to this dreary, winter weather. Do yourself a favor (or two) and make this tonight. Cheers!

{morning coffee in my new favorite mug}

{beautiful, clear skies}

{skype business meeting with my friend + business partner}

{oscar night meal: lemon pepper drumettes, garlic mashed potatoes and 'skinny' creamed spinach}

{oscar night cocktails - recipe on the blog tomorrow}

Happy Monday! Who caught the Oscars last night? My favorite moments were performances by Jennifer Hudson and Adele and Daniel Day-Lewis' Oscar win. The Les Miserables performance was off the charts. I also got a kick out of the Jaws theme song to notify the winners to stop rambling on their acceptance speech, ha ha! In other and better news, these ladies win my pick for best dressed! They dazzled on the red carpet.

P.S. I am not a fan of short hair on myself; but how fabulous does Charlize Theron's new pixie haircut look!?
