We are in the final week of February, crazy right? I am not going to lie, I am nervous for March. I still have PTSD or something from last March. I am sure we all do. Not a lot happening over here this week, just keeping it chill.
After some snow and freezing weather last week, it was nice to see warm weather return just in time for the weekend! It was around 50 on Saturday and 60 yesterday. We definitely took advantage and spent time outside both days.
Zoe is obsessed with her new raincoat. I had purchased her a new one last year, but it fell apart after just a few wears. So sad. I went back to this one, as we had one previously that lasted us two years. The only reason we retired it was because she grew. I love the Cat and Jack ones because they are wind and rain resistant. Of course, she sported it all weekend.
Saturday morning, I rearranged the coffee bar and our china cabinet in the kitchen. I am still trying to decide how I want to display all of my glasses. I am also looking at some open shelving for above the coffee bar. I want somewhere I can have a few canisters and other decor. Maybe some hooks to hang some mugs. I haven’t fully decided. I also started pulling out our Easter decor. Christmas is my all time favorite holiday to decorate for, but Easter isn’t too far behind. I love all the bunnies and pastel colors.
I ordered some bunny garland to add to the fireplace, and I have a few more things I need to dig out for the dining room and kitchen. I will share when I am done. Zoe has always been obsessed with this bunny that Chris got me the year I was pregnant with Zoe. She has been carrying it around all weekend.
We made some buffalo chicken for lunch. This is definitely one of my favorite chicken recipes. It is easy, low carb and delicious! Zoe even likes it without the hot sauce.
I finished reading The Wife Stalker…I have lots of thoughts…just in time for book club. I started Just Last Night and I am having a hard time putting it down! I love Mhairi McFarlane! This is an ARC copy, I believe it comes out in May. Definitely something to add to the list!
Sunday morning we made breakfast and did a deep clean of the house. For all the time we spend at home, I rarely have time to do more than touch clean most weeks. And when the weekend rolls around, I just don’t want to spend my time cleaning…you know? It felt good to knock everything out. After, we went outside for a few hours to enjoy the beautiful weather!
For dinner last night, Chris found a low carb taco casserole recipe he wanted to try. It was super easy to make, and quite tasting. We are going to add it to our regular rotation.
And just like that, the weekend was over. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I know may of your are still covered in snow. It has been a wild winter. Linking up with Tanya.

The weather was so nice this weekend!! I’m glad we got that, because who knows when it will actually be here to stay! Love Zoe running around in her raincoat – Sheff does the same thing with new coats. It’s so funny. Glad you guys a nice, relaxing weekend. 🙂
I honestly can’t believe we’re almost to one entire year of this…
I’m really craving some buffalo chicken now – may have to have it for lunch!! Have a great week! xo, Biana BlovedBoston
Our weather is supposed to warm up this week and I will be outside enjoying it! I’ve been cooped up for weeks and need some sun. I love Zoe’s raincoat! I’m with you on Easter decor. Target (online) has some cute stuff right now… this house is about to look like the Easter bunny’s workshop.
That taco casserole looks so good! Love your little bunny touches! Yes, I am quite nervous for March and cannot believe it’s been a year!
I swear I have cleaned less this year despite spending more time than ever at home.
I have zero PTSD for March. So many worse months in 2020, for me at least, even though March kicked off Life in Coronaland. I struggled very badly in April.
Regardless I’m looking forward to some sort of liberation from life in the house, so bring on these months that lead to better outside weather. They can’t possibly be worse than last year.
I am not sure how I am going to feel once March rolls around, It’s hard to believe we’ve been living during a pandemic for a whole year. The vaccines make me feel like an end is in sight, but it’s still so far away. I am the same way about cleaning. I do as much as I can during the week but I know more needs to get done on the weekends… but I am so tired. So glad you got a deep clean in! It must feel so good.
Still a lot of snow on the ground, but it’s gotten a bit sunnier and warmer in the last couple days so that’s nice. I am definitely ready for weather where I can go outside and be comfortable. Looks like you had a nice weekend!

Mmm you had be at buffalo chicken and taco bake! I am so glad to be back to normal weather. Sounds like a productive weekend!
I love the pictures of Zoe playing outside in the sunshine! Thanks for linking up with Hello Monday! Tanya – The Other Side of the Road
That taco casserole looks so good & I have been craving buffalo chicken! I am so happy that the weather has been warming up after last week! Hope you had a great Monday & have a great rest of your week as well!
Last year is such a blur I don’t necessarily associate March with the beginning of the end- although it definitely was. The last time we went out and ate inside a restaurant was on K’s birthday last year, March 12th. I hate how long this has gone on 🙁
Your weekend sounds lovely. Yay for some warmer weather! I think we’re getting some this week thankfully!
