Weekend Recap + Giveaway for $700 in Gift Cards!

I hope you guys had a wonderful and blessed Easter weekend. I know I did! My parents came to visit for the weekend, and we had so much fun spending time together. Friday afternoon, Tyler and I wanted to show them the house we'll be renting soon (Yes, we're moving! More details to come soon) so that was very exciting! We took them to Gus's Famous Fried Chicken for supper, and then stopped by Pottery Barn outlet on the way back home. Our furry children LOVED having their Lolli and Pop (yes I know... Mom's idea...) here and constantly begged for attention, treats, and toys. They always bring presents and Bella's smart enough to know that they've got things for her! Mom brought me a present, too... a pair of Jimmy Choos!!!

Saturday, we ventured out in the rain to shop at Saddle Creek, and eat at our favorite restaurant in Germantown: the Germantown Commissary (our favorite BBQ ever!).  Shopping with my mom is one of my favorite things and I always cherish the girl time we get to spend together since it's so rare these days. We went into most of the stores at Saddle Creek, but spent most of the time in Ann Taylor Loft. They have TONS of colorful spring things out right now (with 40% off storewide!), so naturally, my mom and I were lugging around armfuls of clothing to the dressing room while getting death stares from Tyler and my dad. I ended up leaving with a floral peplum top, a striped tee (can you ever have too many??), and the perfect boyfriend jeans. Everything is now 50% off (of course) online, with code CYBERSPRING.

1. Floral peplum
2. Striped Tee
3. Boyfriend jeans (left, sold out but available in a darker wash)

 

Sunday, we celebrated Jesus's resurrection at our home church here in Memphis, Island Community Church (P.S. If you're in Memphis, we'd love to have you!). It was an awesome time of worship and celebration, and we were so glad to have my parents there with us. We had lunch at the Spaghetti Warehouse (I'd forgotten how good it is!) before they had to head back to Alabama. Tyler and I enjoyed an afternoon nap with the kiddos and caught up on some TV shows we missed last week. 

So now that you've been filled in on every detail from our weekend... it's time for another giveaway!
