Monday Communiqué: 05/29/2017
This past weekend was a long weekend in the United States as we celebrated Memorial Day! Our little family enjoyed some food and friends at the Greek Festival in our town, some down time and (unfortunately) some time getting Amelia back to full form after a bout of the flu/cold!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are ready to start a new week!

Style Inspiration
As we head into the beginning of Summer my attention is drawn to one of my favorite pieces of clothing: dresses! I'm loving theise dresses I found from across the web!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend, and if you are like us and in the US than Happy Memorial day to you! We're spending the day working on some chores and getting a head start on our week!
Have a wonderful week my friends!

Our Weekend in Pictures!
We experimented this weekend with a sweet potatoe, bacon and spinach scramble! Huge success!
I purchased some new napkins and they arrived on the weekend! I spent some time doing one of my favorite cleaning activities: ironing and watching an episode of 'Poirot'!
One of my favorite things to share on Instagram and Facebook is my #cleankitchenatnight posts! Couldn't resist sharing this alternate view on my blog! (PS check out the beautiful flower arrangemnt my Husband did!)
