Family Photos: My Carefree Weekend of TV and Food

Well, as you can probably guess, my Carefree Bachelorette Weekend revolved around two things: TV and food. That’s only fitting, I suppose, since those are my two favorite things in the whole world! And of course, I had to document all the fun. Here’s a peek into my shenanigans, including a bit of cleaning that uncovered the above book (toss or blog column?)…

Day #1 of my classic home-alone lunch! The major food groups are mostly covered…

And for some afternoon entertainment, some shows on our new TV… #LazySaturday

Saturday night’s feature was Domino’s pizza and a viewing of Jurassic Park (and yes, in case you were wondering, I did indeed sleep with one eye open that night…). #PartyForOne

When my mom is gone, I eat a whole donut!

So, what did you do this weekend, friends? Try any good food? Watch any good shows? I’d love to hear! xoxo

Five fun facts about donuts!

Happy National Donut Day, friends! Ahhh, can’t you just smell that sugary sweet goodness? I say there’s no better way to honor everyone’s favorite pastry than with a few sweet facts. After all, knowledge is power, people! Consider yourself an expert with these four fun facts…
