Weekend Notes

The royal baby watch may be over, but it’s still going full force around here! Now that I’m in that window where it could actually happen any time, I find myself savoring all the things that will be few and far between with a new baby: sleep-filled nights, leisurely Saturdays in the pool, long restaurant brunches (that don’t require a nursing break), and most of all, spending one-on-one time with Phoebe — these last few days with “just the 3 of us” are surprisingly precious. Tonight we’re hosting a big family barbecue for my sister’s birthday, so I’ll be prepping trays of fajitas for the grill and mixing up pico de gallo (while I gaze longingly at the margarita pitcher, no doubt.) Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend so far, and enjoy my favorite links from the past week!
