I can’t believe it’s Monday already!  It was such a nice weekend all around – the weather was amazing (60s in February?!), the plans were fun and spending time with my in-laws is always a great time!

Every time we have visitors, it’s always so quiet and a tad lonely when they leave! We’re ready for another weekend with family!  Any way.. let’s see what we did this weekend..

Friday was jam packed! I worked a half day and around 11, we went downtown to scoop up the Mr for lunch and a fun day of golf!

First up, lunch!  We tried Blue Door Pub because it was featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives (though we did the Minneapolis location) and it did not disappoint!

It’s home of the Blucy Burger! Fun fact: my husband is obsessed with Diners, Drive Ins and Dives and would try a new place every week if I was as excited! I joked that if we ever lived by my MIL, they would be at different restaurants weekly!

After lunch we went to the Golf Show (one of my husbands favorite events of the year!).

How cute is this bag?! I’m obsessed but I don’t golf enough to justify spending that price on it! Bummer!

The boys tried the $100,000 putt challenge to no avail!

After the show, we thought we’d keep the golf theme going (every day needs a theme right?! 😂) and headed out for mini golfing at Can Can Wonderland! It’s a newer golf course designed by local artists!

Even though some of the holes didn’t necessarily work.. some were pretty funny!

They’re also known for adult malt beverages 😍Love my forever guy! 

Somehow, we all (minus my SIL) got a hole in one! My FIL got 3 but somehow ended up in last place!

After tiring ourselves out with all that walking- we headed home for the rest of the night, made some chicken in the Ronco for dinner and just relaxed.  Usually we play a bit of games but instead Logan and his dad watched played some WWE on the PS4!

Saturday was my SIL’s gymnastics meet and it always amazes me the things she (and my other SIL) can do!

I mean.. really.. so good!
I seriously love watching all of her events! I wish they had more meets by us!  It really is so crazy to me that she can do all those things!

This moose out of balloons was insane- the meet was called the Twisted Moose- in case you’re like “was there just a random moose there?!”! He even had eyes and antlers out of balloons! I’m telling you.. that balloon artist is pretty talented!

We were all a little hungry after the meet (hello, we missed lunch!) so we headed to Pizza Luce for some yummy pizza!

We had the Bear and the Athena – and I’m surprised to say (because I don’t usually like to try anything new) I really loved the Bear! It was totally worth the trip down!  Can’t believe we sat next to an open window in February either!

Apparently everyone in the Facebook world saw a video on Saturday of the Milkjam Creamery so we also had to give a try! I mean.. ice cream is my jam!!

This platter was $56 – and if all the flavors had sounded as delicious as they look, I think we might have decided on it!  But since we didn’t, scoops was more up our alley!

The line was out the door when we got there.. thankfully it went pretty quick and that it was 59 degrees out versus negative!

My take away.. it wasn’t my favorite – they didn’t have cookie dough or any normal flavors but the Ridin’ Durrty was pretty good – if you liked dirt cups which I happen to love!

Everyone else said they’d go back for sure! I’m over here like “can we just go to Izzys??” 🙂

Sunday was more relaxing – I finally took down some of the Christmas lights.. yes I’m that person.. but it’s been freezing out.. and then headed for the mall with my MIL while Logan, Cam and Jay hit up the driving range!

I found the cutest gold wedges from Aldo and they were marked down to $35!

Yes please!

After stopping by Trader Joe’s, we met up with the others for some Mexican and margaritas before my in-laws headed home!

It was a busy filled weekend and we loved it all! We’re looking for to the next one! 😊

Don’t forget.. today is the last day to enter to win a Magnolia Market baseball tee so head over to Instagram to enter! Or if you don’t have Instagram- head to the bottom of this post for a chance to join the giveaway!

When I had y’all fill out my survey about what you’d like to see more of – almost the number one topic was our everyday life and us !  Which, surprised me a bit because #wereboring BUT when I saw Mel and Narci blog about 10 Questions, I knew I had to join them!

So here we go!!

About Me

1. My childhood nickname was Kristi Lynnie…. per my Dad!  I didn’t really have any childhood nicknames with friends but ever since I was little my Dad has called me that!  Now, my MIL and SILs call me Kristi Lynn! 🙂

2. If you want to spoil me rotten, buy me flowers!  I don’t care if they’re cheap flowers from the grocery store or elaborate ones from a flower shop – I just love having fresh flowers on my kitchen table 🙂  Also, you could buy me Cookie Dough Craving from Culver’s because honestly… I could eat that all day, every day!

3. If I had a whole day to go shopping and money to spend, I would go to Lilly Pulitzer!  However, we don’t really have one in the near radius SO I’d have to say Nordstrom 🙂 I mean, a full day there to try lots of stuff on?! I could do a lot of damage there!

4. What is your current obsession? The Mindy Project! It’s finally back on Hulu and I’m binge watching all the seasons!  I will say… I didn’t like Kelly on the Office.. like at all so I didn’t think I’d like this show but Wow.. she says half the stuff I’m thinking! The smart stuff of course…. 😉 Do any of you watch this show??

Also.. I’m obsessed with Fixer Upper and every time I watch it, I’m convinced we need to redo our whole house!! I mean, it’s just so rustic and bright and ugh, I need a trip to Waco ASAP!

5.The one thing on my bucket list that I am most eager to do is become a Mama (in all honesty!) but also to visit the Eiffel Tower.. I’m hoping we’ll be able to make a pit stop in Paris before heading over to Portugal this Fall!

6. In my opinion, the best invention in the history of the world is tacos.  Need I say more?!?

Also: wine.

7. I will always be loyal to my husband and family (and friends).  Over the last few years, I’ve truly learned what (and who) is important to me and if you’re part of my “tribe” then you have me for life 🙂 So consider yourself lucky! Ha!

8. If I could spend a day with a celebrity I would choose  Reese Witherspoon, hands down!  I know… I really threw you for a loop with that one! 😉 There’s just something about her that is so welcoming and she’s a huge favorite of mine so that would be amazing!

9. The most wild OR crazy thing I have ever done (that I will admit to publicly) I got into someone else’s car at the Dollar Store this past week… Here’s the deal – I got some balloons for our Galentine’s Party  and as I walked out, I walked straight to what I thought was my car – unlocked it from the drivers side handle – and put the balloons in the backseat and got then climbed into the drivers seat…. I still didn’t notice it wasn’t my car!! Finally, I put my hand on the lever to start it and put it in drive and only then did I notice a gross spit cup, an old cup of coffee and the smell of smoke! Oh my did I get out so quickly and grab the balloons and run over to my actual car!  Thankfully no one came out to ask what I was doing… who does that?!!? So embarrassing!

10. When life hands me lemons…  I put them in a trifle dish on our counter as decorations! Ha! I mean….

easy and beautiful!

Well.. there you have it! Hope it’s a terrific Thursday for you!  See you tomorrow for some Friday Favorites and a fun giveaway (hint, it might have to with my favorite home show!) 😉
