Weekend Wrap Up

My Brilliant Friend Season 2

 

 

Well, we all made it through the week.

This was one of the most stressful weeks I’ve experienced in quite a while.

How are you guys coping?

I hope you’re all hanging in there, keeping busy, and not stressing too hard.

Whatever that means?

I mentioned this on my Instagram stories, but it’s worth saying again…I hope you’ll come to see to my blog as a happy distraction during these turbulent times. 

While I never want to come across as “tone deaf” – I certainly don’t see my role here as anything other than light entertainment.

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread -A Trusted Favorite Recipe

So, I figured we can all use a little comfort food right now.

I made this chocolate chip banana bread the other night and put in on my Instagram stories.

Afterwards, a few people asked for the recipe, so here it is!

She would make this for playdates.

It was SO good, I had to have the recipe.

All these years later, this great recipe is still my favorite.

I’ve seen other recipes which call for brown sugar and/or baking powder in the dry ingredients…

Those are good – but honestly, this one is GREAT!

Beach House Renovation Weekend

I’m feeling a lot better this week.

Thanks so much for your sweet comments and emails!

Now I guess I just have to keep vigilant about handwashing and not watch too much of the never-ending news….

Planning on working on our beach house renovation this weekend. We sort of slacked off and there’s still SO much to do.

We ordered the wrong size glass shower doors, UGH.

So I need to deal with this headache before anything else…wish me luck!

 

Here’s this week’s round up of sales and links…

 

Athena Calderone (I’m a huge fan of her designs) has a new book coming out and it looks amazing.

 

LOVE the shape of this reversible tote.

 

Never thought I’d say this...but I think I need a pair of high rise culottes!

 

Pretty excited about this Judy Bloom movie news.

 

These sneakers are currently in my cart…hope I can pull them off!
