Good afternoon, good evening and goodnight!
I did a little online shopping for Mazen last week and the cutest swim trunks came in the mail for him. These were a steal for only about $7. I love the neon! We tested them out at the pool all afternoon yesterday. I also bought him these shoes (GAP is always having 20-50% off sales) and they are super cute in person.
ALSO – this came in the mail today! I am looking for outfits for Mazen to wear to the wedding, and I thought this was super cute. It’s hard to find formal wear for kids! I found it on Amazon (for $32 – not bad) but he hasn’t tried it on yet to see if it fits. I suspect the pants will need hemming. I will let you know how it works out.
I went to strength class this morning – killing the workouts this week! 4 for 3. This song {Angel} was my favorite from the class playlist.
MY OTHER RECIPES
Back at home I worked on a recipe that I’ll be sharing next week. Hint: it involves bacon and jalapenos!
I took a shower and ate too many of these as a lunch appetizer. I took a break from them for about a month because they are just so darn good! But they’re back, and now they’re gone! (Thomas and Mazen love them too.)
My main course was a smoked salmon, havarti and spinach half sandwich and a nectarine for dessert. (Note all the sunflower tears on the table!)
This is my new favorite crispy flavor!
I picked Mazen up from camp. He made the most delicious scone there today and shared a nibble with me! Plus a popsicle.
We played a few rounds of UNO until Matt came to pick him up. Today was a longer workday for me, so I kept at it till 6:00 when I got ready for a girls’ night.
We had these delicious sides (I brought the deviled eggs – hint hint!)
Moroccan lentil salad (amazing!), smoked salmon tea sandwiches, bacon deviled eggs, and brussels sprouts salad! Plus 4 kinds of wine *wide eye emoji*
GOOD!
The Brussels sprouts salad looks good – did you use a recipe!
She shaved the sprouts and made a citrus dressing and added cranberries, almonds and Romano cheese. I don’t know the exact measurements though.
Thanks!!
I know people have mixed feelings on Men’s Warehouse, but if there is one near you, they rent boys suits! Our nephews did this for our wedding and it saved our siblings a lot of money given how fast kids grow. It might be different for your wedding, in that you might want to keep Mazen’s outfit as a keepsake, but just thought I would share.
So happy for you and Thomas 🙂
That is a great back up plan. I want a color other than black so I’ll look into it if this one doesn’t work 🙂
Ooh, Mazen’s new wedding outfit is cute! And I thought they only made cute clothes for girls!

That outfit of Mazen’s is cute! Do you have an H & M? They usually have kid’s formal wear and H & M is usually very reasonably priced, in my opinion!
We do in Richmond. That’s good to know – I might be down there sometime soon.
Bacon and jalapeño deviled eggs sound delicious! As does 4 kinds of wine 😉
I wonder if you could score the recipe for the Moroccan lentil salad from whichever of your friends made it? It looks amazing.
I told her we needed to make it a blog recipe- hopefully in the works!
Yay!
Agree!
Mmm, bacon and jalapenos are two of my faves!!
You’re looking for outfits for Mazen … like more than one? Are you thinking one for the rehearsal, and one for the wedding? Something else?
Oh I just meant one for the big event.
BELKS!!! they are awesome for kids suits
Stores have great formal wear like that for kids around Easter. I realize it’s probably not an option for you to wait that long, but if others are planning weddings then they may want to consider that. It’s what we did for the ring bearers and flower girl at our wedding – the stores even had little matching shirts for the ring bearers in our wedding colors!
