Photo from my birthday breakfast!

Happy weekend, chickadees! I know it's been rather quiet up on this here blog lately, and well....I'm just feeling a bit overwhelmed and energy-zapped lately. Wanted to squeeze this post in since it's Friday, woohoo! This two day respite is certainly welcome.

John and I are heading to a wedding on Saturday, followed by an all-day onion soup making session with my mom on Sunday. With a new-found and much-loved nip in the air (hooray for fall - finally!), John and I have been craving some. Her onion soup is legit, y'all. Every other onion soup recipe is total and complete rubbish. I am not even exaggerating in the slightest. I've had a few failed attempts at making my own, so I'm going to study up while observing the master at work...and if y'all are lucky, I'll get the right techniques and share my mom's recipe that makes all other onion soup recipes pale in comparison.

I also plan on wrapping up a few spray paint DIYs I have going on on Sunday while those onions get their caramelization on, framing pictures, planting our snake plant, and figuring out how in the heck to decorate our blasted dining room. It's an awkward unused eating/work/clutter collecting space...I have no freakin' clue what to do with it. We did hand curtains last week though, and....meh. Time to go down the black hole that is Pinterest and get a raging case of inspiration-hunting-turned-house-envy.

What are y'all up to?
