Weekending | the Greenville edition

Ahhh, weekends.  A good weekend is good for the soul.

The only thing that would have made this one better is if we could have one more day before Monday strikes.

Some highlights from Greenville with Kaitlyn and Andre:

– Laughter; nonstop.  There’s just something about being with family, right?
– Coppy got to come along for the ride.  Actually that part was unplanned but since it was 4 degrees on Friday night, we thought he might die if he stayed home by himself.  And since both of our parents were out of town, he came down too and did a great job.

– We got tons of decisions made about Kaitlyn’s new house!
– We watched this.

Because obviously you can’t have our family together and not quote Dumb & Dumber at least once over the course of a weekend.  So if the new one’s out and no one’s seen it… well, it just all adds up.
-Obviously, I fell asleep during the movie.  The first half of the movie was good!
-Chocolate + strawberries.  The deliciousness just can’t be denied.

– Kait helped me work out some the new stuff that’s coming to F+F soon!  There’s just something about a sister’s advice that tops all others.  {If you’re lost, I first mentioned it on Instagram last week.}
– Dinner.  And the fact that we remembered to get a picture.  #thatsafirst

Joey’s book is only $1.99 this week on Amazon.  Joey was one of my first blogger friends and she’s a self-published author.  I haven’t read her book yet but you better believe I’m downloading it this week.

– Speaking of blogger friends… what do you recommend?  Google Adsense or BlogHer?  And why do you recommend it?  I see good things about both every time I try to research it.  Gimme some real life testimonials, girls.

Alllll that and then I was able to get multiple things checked off my list on Sunday.  One of those was taking blog pictures.  This week’s fashion posts are themed Fashion {experiment} week.  Stay tuned for some fresh twists on regular pieces because I had a blast shooting them.

  • Sounds like you had a great weekend! How cool is it that your friend is a published author. I need me one of those;)

    • Pretty amazing, right? I can’t imagine the sheer dedication behind tackling a project that deep!

  • Such a great weekend!!! I love the sister time!! I prefer Google Adsense, but then again I dont have much knowledge with Blogher, but I know a lot of bloggers love that too!! Hope you have a great Monday! xo, Biana – BlovedBoston

    • Good to know, Biana. I’m trying to research the two and make a decision but there seems to be so many pros of both.

  • Sounds like you had a great weekend! Glad you got some sister time in, family time is the best! I use Google AdSense but I’ve heard some people say they really like BlogHer. I’ve never tried them out but if you do let me know what you think!

    • Sisters are the best. I’ve heard good things about Adsense and Blogher at this point – so I’m just trying to figure out which is the best fit for me.

  • Sounds like a pretty great weekend! Those strawberries and chocolate look soooo good! I’ve been wanting to see the new Dumb and Dumber movie. My friend and I used to quote it all the time! lol Aaaand I just realized I wasn’t following you on Instagram?! Craziness…fixed that! lol

    • The chocolate and strawberries was amazing; one of my favorite combinations of all time. You just can’t go wrong! Yes… I’m glad someone else likes Dumb and Dumber :) I followed you back!!

  • I love sister time!!! Nothing can beat it. And that pan full of chocolate looks divine!

    • You’re so right – there’s nothing better! The chocolate was delicious. I’m such a sucker for chocolate and strawberries!

  • Glad to see Copper & the fur vest made it to Greenville! #NotSurprisedAboutOneOfTheFurItems Yay for experiments!!!

    • Coppy had so much fun and he was so well behaved!

  • Your weekend seriously sounds like it was perfect! Thanks for sharing the book lovely!!!

    • You know it, girl! Hope you get some new readers out of it!

  • Sounds like a great weekend! Family time is definitely the best, especially when it involves sisters! i’m glad I’m not the only one who can’t make it through an entire movie….I always fall asleep!

    • I never can. And when it’s a movie that I really want to see, it takes me like 3 or 4 nights of picking up where I left off the night before. My poor hubby.

  • Looks like a fun weekends, and that first pic is TOO cute!! -xx

    • Thanks, we had so much fun!!

  • Aww, the photo of y’all with Coppy is adorable! Sounds like you had a great weekend. Sibling time is the best! I like Google AdSense, but I haven’t used BlogHer before. :)

    • Good to know – that’s what most people have commented. And girl, we had so much fun this weekend. This getaway was perfectly timed!

  • What a great weekend, I love family time! Excited to see what in store for Fashion and Feathers!

    • Thanks, Brooke! I’m really excited about some new adventures too. And family time is just what we needed :)

  • That dessert looks delicious! I saw Dumb and Dumber and it was quite interesting…
    I’m glad you had a fun weekend!

    • Interesting, for sure. Nothing like laughing at stupid humor!

  • What a great weekend! I can’t wait to see the fashion posts!!

    • I’m really excited for them. They were so fun! You’ll have to let me know what you think.

  • I personally like BlogHer because it’s more of a community. Plus there’s so many different bloggers you can get to know. Oh, and they have a conference! I love having blogger friends! I feel like they are the only ones that really understand you because if you say “hey I can’t go out tonight because I have to blog” blogger friends completely get it!

    • Haha, for real!! I want to go to a conference so that’s a definite pro in my book. Thanks, Monica!

  • What a fun weekend! I wish I had a sister so I could do these kinds of fun things! I am so excited for your next chapter of Fashion & Feathers! Also… cannot wait to see your fashion posts this week. I use Google AdSense because it’s so user friendly. xoxo

    • Most people have commented that they like AdSense so that’s helpful! And yes, I have no idea what I would do without a sister. There’s just no other relationship quite like it!

  • Awww thanks for sharing your lovely family moments – Like you I am also experiencing a lot of laughter lately with my family!

    Best!
