Weekend In Eight

Hello! How was your weekend? Did you do any Christmas shopping? If so, did you buy me something? J/K. I did some shopping- on Amazon. I am so thankful for Amazon. Everything I needed was in stock, the shipping was free and there were no crowds. Amen to that. Here are some other things that happened over the weekend...


1. My weekend started off with this glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Last week was crazy and I felt discouraged most of the week about random things. I don't drink that often, but I needed the wine. I feel much better now. 


2. Giada de Laurentiis responded to my tweets on Friday night.  She posted a pic of her wearing this argyle sweater and I asked her where it was from. I love her style. This is the second time she has answered one of my questions on Twitter. In my book, we are now BFF's. 



3. I am as mesmerized by Christmas lights as a baby who sees Christmas lights for the first time. I love them! The Atlanta Botanical Gardens is currently hosting "Garden Lights" and I went on Saturday night. So beautiful. If you are in the Atlanta area, I highly recommend it. 


4. I roasted marshmallows and had s'mores for the first time this weekend. I'm late in the game. I know. The Botanical Gardens offered them during the Garden tour, so I tried it out. It tasted like a pillow of chocolatey heaven in my mouth. So simple and so good! 


5. I love reading and hearing about how couples meet and fall in love. Lauren of Aspiring Kennedy is currently writing about how she met the love of her life. I read the latest chapter on Sunday morning and was just as engaged as most people are with the Sunday newspaper. If you read it, start here with The Prologue.


6. Savor Home is now on Facebook!! I'm just as late with that as I am with roasting marshmallows. I am completely aware of that. I'll be posting random thoughts, happenings, products and blogs that I like in addition to my posts. I would love for you to Like me!
7. I saved the best news for last! Erika of BluLabel Bungalow is expanding her blog and she selected me to be the food contributor! Me! Erika is a very talented interior designer who I consider a friend and I am so excited! My intro post is up on her blog. Click here to check it out!

8. I think this week is already off to a good start. Amen to that.
