This weekend may have been our best Little Gym class yet. Harper was so excited about every single thing and proud of the “skill of the week” she mastered.
I’ll be honest and say that it was nice to have such a fun and happy weekend, because this past week was an absolute disaster. I don’t know how many of you with toddlers experience the same thing, but Harper has about one week each month that seriously makes me question everything (is this real life?) Thank goodness for the friends that text me “don’t worry, my kid does that too.”
After Little Gym, we headed to a local park to burn off a little more energy before lunch and nap time.

During Harper’s nap, I met my friend Chasity for brunch at Downhouse and we ended up eating and chatting for over three hours…it’s fun to catch up over breakfast food and delicious waffles (seriously, do not leave that place without having the waffles with the strawberry jam).
Our waitress told me they’re opening a few new restaurants all in the Heights area which made me super excited. This area is growing so much and there are so many families, parks, shops and restaurants here. We love it!
Later that day we visited a park closer to our house for some pre-dinner fun.

Once Harper was asleep for the night, I hit up Target where I felt old when I saw a bunch of (maybe slightly intoxicated) college kids running through the store buying drink mixers, chips and candy. I thought about how tired they’re going to be the next day…and then I remembered how much energy I had “back then.” Sigh. Who was I kidding?
I picked up a few new tops for Harper that I can’t resist sharing.
How cute are they?! I’m so excited for summer dresses and rompers too.
Our Sunday morning started with Starbucks and donuts at our friend’s house. Margot and Harper read books and played “hide-and-seek”…sort of.
The rest of our day was pretty laid back…grocery shopping and a little fun with bubbles.
Hope you had a great weekend!

Last summer I gave a friend with two toddles the bubble maker & she made the cutest slo-mo videos with it! Even if she used it for the video ops..I'd like to say it was a smashing success. 🙂

Annnnd I was just about to text you that I told Georgia not to climb on something and her response was "Well God told me I could." So that's what you have to look forward to in a couple of years!
I can't believe we ate that whole waffle, that picture makes it look enormous!
[email protected] says
she is so smart…and inventive 🙂 I can't wait to get together with the girls one day, Georgia can teach Harper a thing or two 🙂
Chasity Munn says
Yes, let's do it soon! As soon as this rain stops. Although I'm not sure you want Georgia teaching Harper the things she knows, ha!
Alice Kerley says
Sounds like such a fun weekend! I had brunch at Downhouse on Sunday and ordered the Mrs. Crunch, I think it's new to the menu and it was DIVINE! I'll have to try the waffles next time!
That's awesome to hear that they are opening a few new restaurants soon, too!

I love reading your weekend posts, thanks for sharing! Are you able to walk to most the parks, shops and restaurants you frequent? That must be so nice! And of course I am so jealous of your weather… We still have snow on the ground here and I am dying for it to warm up enough to hit up the park again!
[email protected] says
We have many parks and restaurants in walking distance and some we drive to as well 🙂 we love living in the Heights!

You dont live in the Heights, stop lying.

I am not going to post my exact location on my blog, for many reasons. A lot of residents in the surrounding communities of the Heights proper refer to themselves as living "in the Heights." It allows people to have an understanding of your general area without having to reference specific surrounding communities that people might not be familiar with. People who read this blog are from all over the country. I don't need to specify which community in the Greater Heights I live in. It is not relevant.

"lying" why do you care where Veronika lives? What an exhausting way to live life…fact checking (incorrectly) bloggers. Just an FYI via simple google search The Houston Heights offers a diverse mix of old and new Victorian homes, early century craftsman homes, and newly constructed townhomes and modern developments. Subdivisions include some of the most sought after sections of Houston, including Houston Heights, Woodland Heights, Stude, Brooksmith, Sunset Heights, Shady Acres.

What a fun weekend! I'm so jealous of your sunny, warm weather! Your parks are so beautiful, too. We don't really have those where we live. Just lots of trees! 🙂
[email protected] says
where do you live? we do have nice parks, I feel fortunate for that because they're so great to burn energy for kiddos 🙂
Tawnya Faust says
Haha on the college kids thing, I don't know how I had the energy for that… Glad y'all had a good weekend, Harper is rocking the bar at the gym!!
