A busy weekend in quick review.


It's Monday, & I'm exhausted already. No really, I am. Totally sleep deprived over the past few days + 34 weeks pregnant. I need a nap. 

But our weekend! It was jam-packed & so much fun - just the way it should be when it's perfect weather & you're feeling the pressure to have fun every single minute of every day (mostly).

Friday, Saturday & Sunday involved bowling (!!), a late-night visit to Madison Square Park, a lovely trip to The Hamptons, great seafood, & a biggest-crowd-ever picnic at Central Park - for which I made fancy strawberry mascarpone cupcakes (that's weren't fancy to make) & a really easy peach pie - two of my new very favorite summer recipes, I think.

(I should admit that my first attempt at making the box mix cupcakes resulted in disaster, requiring me to start all over. How does someone do that? Mess up cupcakes FROM THE BOX? It was a few hours later when I finally realized that I had totally omitted the eggs. The eggs!! Because I'm amazing like that. I have no business baking, clearly. Also, my cupcakes initially looked like nipples - blueberry mascarpone nipples - which may or may not have been influenced by my current state or by the woman who kept flashing hers while we were on the beach on Saturday, but I had to get a little creative to solve the problem - only exacerbating it in the process. OH. Somewhat unrelated, but I also dropped my keys on the ground three times on my way out the door for church - which is especially problematic when picking things up is increasingly difficult. I'm blaming it all on pregnancy. I'm a disaster.)

Oh - & the last time I wore that yellow top (which is on maternity loan from friend Erin) was at 18 weeks. Those were the days.

I'll post some real photos after my 37 loads of laundry are done & I feel caught up.

I did 37 loads of laundry today too. I was cranky the entire time.

cupcake nipples - I think you might have to brand that.
