Happy Monday!! No shock here, it was another snowy weekend in Boston and we were snowed in once again on Sunday!! In just 3 1/2 weeks we have had 4 storms and 7 feet of snow…it’s safe to say Gary and I may be contemplating a move to the South!! Regardless of the weather we still managed to have a great weekend and it’s a three day weekend for me so there’s that!!
Watched
Watched
It was a weekend of lot’s of movie watching, starting with 50 Shades of Grey on Thursday night! I checked a few theaters in Boston and apparently it was being shown a day ahead of the national release so we ventured out to see it! I wont go on in detail about the movie…but we’ll just leave it at I liked it and I thought it was tastefully done!! If you want to read what an 83 year old grandma thought about the movie check it out here! We also watched Nightcrawler with Jake Gyllenhaal & I actually hand’t heard anything about the movie, but it was really interesting! He was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor and seriously deserved it because he plays creepy all too well!
Enjoyed

For Valentine’s Day we decided to head out early and get some brunch at Eastern Standard. It was so nice not having to fight the crowds – definitely starting a new tradition of brunch on Valentine’s Day! I didn’t even get a picture of the egg concoction that I ate, but it was incredible!
We probably should have waited for them to clear our plates, but we took advantage of there not being anyone to our left!
After all the indulging it was time to walk off brunch! Gary clearly needed to show off and dove right into the snow…I also made myself comfortable and created a makeshift snow bench!
Cards, flowers and not shown is the bag of Mint Milano cookies that was devoured by the both of us this weekend! For dinner we agreed to try a try a new recipe from The Newlywed Cookbook and it was delicious – recipe coming this week!
Keeping Busy
Keeping Busy
Everyone always asks what do you do in a snow storm? Well you eat, a lot!!! Not to mention it gives you a lot of time for blogging and cleaning…so the house is clean and the blog has been worked on! I also spent a lot of time getting to know my new computer!!! My Mac was just not cutting it for what I needed to do and we upgraded with a seriously amazing sale that Microsoft was having!! You’ll notice I already put that xoxo screensaver I mentioned last week! I may or may not have hugged it at one point this weekend…it’s touch screen and that makes me really happy!
Around 4:00, we were going a little stir crazy so decided to venture outside…mistake number 1!! It’s really beautiful, but way too cold! We quickly realized home was way better!
Also, huge thank you to everyone who entered my Talaria Flats giveaway last week – the winner is Kate and I’ll be emailing you shortly!
slightly obsessed with this
Hope you all have a wonderful start to your week and link up below to share your weekends with us!!

Oh my goodness, all the snow! ALL.THE.SNOW! I was in Texas this weekend and it was so deliciously warm, I can't imagine how y'all up north are still sane. Glad you were able to get out for Vday and had a great celebration. Woohoo for the new computer! 🙂
I agree, it's all about eating, tv watching and cleaning during snow days!
I'm going to see 50 Shades today – can't wait!
So sick of snow but happy it happened on a weekend!
man, you guys are getting hammered with so much snow!! usually that's us so it's strange to see other places outside of canada getting all that snow. the maritimes are getting buried under a huge storm; a blogger i follow has been IGing pics of her mailbox outside and every hour you see less and less of her mailbox LOL. then her final pic: mailbox buried. guess i'm not getting mail anytime soon hahahah
stay warm!
North Carolina is about to join you in the snow department. I mean, not 7 feet but we're supposed to get 4-6 inches – which is a big deal around here. I'm so excited for movies and time to blog and clean! Looks like you two had a great Valentines!!
Wow!! Look at all that snow!!
Born and raised in Florida and I just get so jealous of all the snow photos. Why I moved to Australia and not Sweden I'll never know.
We watched Nightcrawler a few weeks ago and I definitely agree, Jake Gyllenhall plays creepy really well! I can see why he was nominated for best actor. Although we watched The Theory of Everything on Sunday and Eddie Redmayne played Stephen Hawking so wonderfully that I actually felt I was watching a person go through life suffering from the disease. I think he might be a lock in for best actor this year.
Whoa, y'all have an insane amount of snow! I bet you wouldn't mind our predicted snowfall today of 1-2". That's reason enough to move down south, right? Hope y'all thaw out soon & enjoy your day off today!
I think Brunch is much better than trying to beat the crowds. Looks like a cute place too. I didn't brave the cold much either, it got super windy on Sunday. Movies, and too much food sounds about right! 😉
Well look at all that snow!!! They were predicting winter weather for us the last week and now we might just get a cold rain. I would love to see it snow just once. No ice though. Haha! So I guess better nothing than the mess we had last year.
Looks like you guys had a great weekend! Lots of movies and food sounds perfect to me. Have a great week!
I hope everyone stays warm and safe! But despite the weather it looks like a great weekend! I love brunch but skip the drinks because I'll sleep the day away, haha!
Holy snow girl! That is crazy…but pretty! Hope you guys are staying warm. I want to see 50 Shades but I dont think I can see it in the theater without feeling super uncomfortable LOL! Glad to hear it was good though. And Valentine's Day brunch sounds like a fabulous tradition. I might have to steal that from you guys! Happy Monday love!
Stay warm up there! I can’t wait to see 50 Shades.. hopefully this week. Brunch sounds like such a good tradition!
so much snow! ew its just too much 🙂 but all the rest looks fantastic. and at least the two of you look tres cute in snow. that's the most important part right? ha

Brunch is always a great idea! You definitely know how to dress cute for the snow – you look great! I would look like the Michelin Man having to get around with all that snow lol Happy Monday!
I had not seen that interview and LOVED it! I thought the movie was better than the book. I too cried during that final scene, but I'm a crier at a lot of things. Look at all of that snow and brunch for Valentine's Day sounds fabulous!
Brunch – what a smart idea for Valentine's Day! Stay warm in all that snow!
Lots of eating yummy food and drinking red wine when it is cold out 😉 Looks like you had a fabulous weekend and you know who will be waiting with open arms for you down South! Can't wait to hear about that recipe and your new computer……and that other bag I noticed on FB 😉 xoxoxoxoxo
What an amazing weekend…even with the snow! Looks like you guys made the most of it – movies, brunch and time with the computer would be my ideal snowy weekend as well =) And I might need to know what you didn't like about your MAC, I have been contemplating one (a new laptop in general) but I've always used microsoft products and thought it would be a big transition. Have a great week!
Oh my goodness, all that snow is crazy!! You guys are great sports about it though, looks like you are making the most of it! Glad you had a great Valentine's! 🙂
This weather is not fit to go out in. My face almost froze off coming in to work this morning.
I couldn't use a MAC for regular use. Too many years of non-MAC use, even though I had one for work for a while.
I'm glad you made the best of your snowy weekend! I'm definitely going back to read what the 83 year old woman thought of 50 shades of grey hahaha! So happy you had a wonderful Valentine's day and even got to play in the snow! Happy Monday!

Def have to check out 50 shades of grey, can't wait to see it! Love that quote "do what you love, love what you do!"
Good LORD I can't believe you guys got more snow!! Love the new laptop- I'm angling for one myself, but think I'd like a Mac desktop… I'm losing that battle currently 🙂
7 feet of snow in just 3 weeks?! That is INSANE! Thanks for all the pictures 😉 Do you think you would miss Boston like crazy if you moved away?! We miss it and we were only there for a week, HA!
Brunch on Valentines is a genius idea! What a perfect weekend of love (and making the best of all the snow!) You and Gary are the cuuuuutest!
Sounds like the perfect weekend – movies, good food, cleaning and blogging – perfection!!
I can't believe all of the snow you guys are getting. I definitely could not hack it up there. Your Valentine's Day seemed like absolute perfection! Very sweet and romantic.

That looks like such a great weekend! I watched Nightcrawler with my husband about a week ago and I totally agree… he played creepy all too well. lol
I'm glad you were at least able to get out for a movie and brunch this weekend! And yes, a clean house is one good perk of being stuck inside. lol. That pasta you made looks delish!! Can't wait for the recipe. I've been wondering how that Nightcrawler movie is. He does look super creepy in it! Have a good day girl!
You SHOULD move to the South, we'd love to have you! My sister moved back to Boston this weekend. In the snow. She said it was horrible to move during that… Well duh! Yay for V-day brunches, we did the same!
7 feet of snow?!? Holy cow! How much is on the ground now?
I love the quote!! I am so sick of the snow and we don't have nearly as much as you! Sounds like you made the most of it though lol. You look gorgeous in all of your pics and I can't wait till you post that recipe! Looks delicious. xo
Your weather stresses me out. I'm glad you were able to escape your house for a bit, I can't even imagine that much snow. Move south!
You and Gary are seriously the cutest couple ever. #relationshipgoals You are not alone in being sick of the weather – we are going crazy over here, too! I'm also glad that I'm not the only human alive that switched back to a PC after using a Mac for a while. Happy Monday, girl!
mmm brunch! You look so fabulous! Look at all of that snow! I'm really hoping we get some of it this week. Happy Monday gorgeous!
Goodness, I LOVE the quote at the top of this post! I'm on the east coast of Canada and we got pummelled with snow and freezing rain and terrible weather this weekend as well. I'm also considering moving south if winter doesn't let up soon! Hope you have a great week! 🙂
It seems like every year the north east just keeps having more intense winters. No fun in our book! Looks like you were still able to have a great weekend in spite of all the snow. Here's to hoping March is good to us! Winks and Eyerolls
Cute couple alert! Lol! And I read the 50 Shades review — hilarious! They were unexpectedly okay with the whole thing! That sunset was beautiful, even if it was freezing. Worth the shot!

Valentine's Brunch is absolutely brilliant! You and Gary are sooo cute together! Can you please swing by NJ on your way to the south and take us with you? K, thanks 😉 Stay warm!!!
Ugh… Blogger ate my last comment!
Ahhh I can't believe I won your giveaway, what awesome news to receive this morning 😀
Love that you guys went to brunch on V-Day, awesome tradition to start and we may have to copy you guys!
I couldn't be happier to hear you say that all this snow is hopefully pushing you guys back down this way. My mom is beyond over it, and proclaims this is her absolute last winter up there, so don't be surprised if she hops into your moving truck 😉
here's how i know you've lived here way longer than me. you actually went outside. hahaha. ok, in my defense, i did go outside, but only to clean my car off. and my god i was out there for an hour. i feel ya on being snowed in though — our house is ridiculously clean, i got blog posts ready to go, i read a bunch of cookbooks, cooked a ton of stuff…and yeah…it's actually not too bad!!
Looks like a great weekend! We saw 50 shades too…it was better than I expected is all I will say, lol!
A wonderful weekend for sure! So much snow! (we may be getting a winter storm this evening into tomorrow, but they're calling for mostly ice which is no good at all!) Valentine's Brunch sounds perfect — Stephen and I did a late dinner which was a lot of fun, but we may have to try brunch next year. Happy Monday!

This looks like a fun weekend! I'm glad you had a good Valentine's Day! We finally received some snow and all the schools are cancelled, but of course no college classes are. Yay me…

Oh gosh I'm marking that 83 year old grandma review to read later because that sounds like it's going to be freaking hilarious. I'll probably wait to see the movie when it's on redbox. Also? You are freaking gorgeous, woman. What's the lip color you're wearing in the snow pics? So freaking pretty!
All that snow!! It looks amazing and glad y'all still got to squeeze a date "morning" in there 🙂 And I'm glad you're loving your new comp- I'm hoping to get one this year as well… we'll see!! xo
It was so cold and snowy here in Ohio too, but you guys had it worse there! We hibernated too 🙂 Looks like you had a fabulous Vday weekend! I love the brunch idea! Do you love your Dell more than your Mac? I have a Dell that is about 3 years old and thinking about upgrading to a Mac. What didn't you like about it?
Looks like a fun and productive weekend! Stay warm!

I would be going crazy with all that snow! I'm so ready for Spring weather its not even funny. Valentine's brunch is a great idea! You look beautiful!
Sounds like you managed to keep busy this weekend! We went and saw 50 Shades Friday night….I hadn't read the books, but I LOVED the movie, so good. I wanted to see Night Crawler, but totally forgot about it, thanks for the reminder 🙂

You always look so beautiful in your hats 🙂
I wanted to see Night Crawler.. I had heard it was really good. We went & saw The Kingsmen this weekend… don't bother. Ugh.
Look at all that snow! It's very pretty I must say but I'm not sure I could handle it. I SO want to see 50 Shades of Gray!! Is it a chick flick or will the husband like it too? Looks like a fab Valentine's brunch and weekend!
That snow is CUH-razy! (but i'm sure you already knew that). It's nice though to have an excuse to do nothing but stay in and hang around the house once in a while.
that snow is NO joke! stay warm….ALSO brunch dates are my faveee!!
I'm in Cincy and we are getting our biggest snow of the season RIGHT NOW! Started around 6am and hasn't let up… they are calling for up to 10", which I know is nothing compared to what's going on in the Northeast but for us, it's big!! 😉 I think brunch is a great way to celebrate Vday and avoid some of the chaos that night!
Wow, you definitely deserve a tropical vacation after all that snow! That pic of you in front of the huge snow pile is crazy!!!
So much snow!!! We are getting our first 'real' snow storm this afternoon apparently, I say real, but compared to you guys up North, its nothing! Sounds like you still had a great weekend and I'm totally hungry now!

I am still in shock with how much snow Boston is getting this year. My fiance's company was really encouraging us to relocate because they've got some big projects there, but after this winter, I don't think I am brave enough for it! Valentine's Day brunch is a great idea. I hate the crowds at all the restaurants for dinner on V day.
Sounds like a fun weekend despite the snow!! I feel SO bad for you guys dealing with all of that snow. Looking forward to you sharing that recipe, and the pictures of you and Gary are so cute. 🙂 Hope that you are having a great day so far, and stay warm!!
Looks like a fun weekend! I love the idea of Vday brunch!
Valentine's brunch is a crazy-great idea! You are definitely owning the winter!
Wow, that sounds like you had amazing weekend!
I'm still thinking if I should go to watch this movie or not, waiting for my best friend review, she is watching it right now)))

Holy snow right? Ah! It's crazy.. I thought we were doing well with the little snow we had gotten at the beginning if this Winter.. Hoping for. Very warm Spring season!

Sounds like a wonderful weekend! I saw 50 Shades and thought it was great! I also thought Nightcrawler was fabulous. And going to brunch on Valentine's Day sounds like a great way to avoid the crowds! I hope you're staying warm up there!

So much snow! Your Valentine's Day brunch sounds delicious & you look gorgeous! I can't wait to see what that recipe is that you guys made for dinner- it looks so good! And yay for a new computer– a touch screen sounds amazing!
What a great weekend you had! Even if it's cold. 🙂 Brunch on Valentine's sounds perfect! What a great and fun way to beat the crowds, but still make the day special. Your play in the snow pictures are too cute. I hope you stay warm! Have a great week, Biana!
Your Valentine's Day sounds like one full of memories with your honey! I like the idea of brunch, too. The BF and I had lunch our and dinner (carryout) in. It was a nice weekend to stay in and enjoy alone time together… I feel like a lot of people were about that this year!
As much as I hate the winter, I'd be okay with one more snow to play outside in with my sweetie. We haven't had a chance yet, and there was only one "real" snowfall in Chicago so far!

Sounds like you had a great Valentine's Day despite the snow. I'm glad that you didn't let it ruin the festivities!
Man..that first photo you posted. I need to print that and try to live by it! Your Valentine's sounded awesome and like you made the best of the snow! You always eat such great food. Move to Texas :-p Haha!
Yall can move to Texas! I'm excited about the recipe you're sharing tomorrow because that food looks amazing!!!!
And I thought we had a lot of snow here in Chicago!! Boston got hit hard this year! Glad you had a lovely Valentine's Day! 🙂
I bet y’all are just about about over all that snow! Come to Atlanta! 🙂 I love the idea of Valentine’s Brunch before the restaurants get totally crazy.
How do you manage to look so adorable in the snow? I don't want to dress cute at all! Raleigh is a nice place to live, just saying! 🙂 xoxo
Oh my goodness, look at all the snow! I'm glad you are making the most out of all the snow days. 🙂 Chris and I decided we really like brunch on Valentine's Day too-fighting crowds is no fun!
Aww you and the hubby are so cute! I can't believe how much snow you all have gotten! Looks like you guys had a great V day weekend!! Mint Milanos are just so addictive aren't they? gone in a second when they're in my hand!!

I can't even handle how much snow you guys have been getting!
I love all your Valentines-ing. You and your man are too cute for words – I LOVE this Valentine's brunch idea too. The roses are gorgeous, Mint Milanos are my weakness, and the playing in snow is maybe the cutest activity ever.
We have been snowed in too–its getting out of control–me and moth nature are not on speaking terms ha!! I have been wanting to see both of those movies bad 🙂

We got a lot of snow over the weekend as well, but it was raining this morning and washed a lot of it away.

How about you guys being the absolute cutest and making the blizzard look so good!? V-Day brunch sounds wayyyy better than dinner among the massive crowds. Sorry you guys keep getting such rough weather but glad you're staying safe!
Sounds like a lovely weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!

It looks like you guys definitely made the best of your snowed-in weekend! Love that you went to brunch on Valentine's Day morning–such a good idea! Also, that picture of you in front of the MASSIVE pile of snow is adorable!!! Love!
Hope you guys are doing ok with your snow! Lots of time for cuddles haha
you guys are so adorable in the snow, seriously. i don't envy you though – it snowed a few inches here yesterday so the office was closed – woo! but we weren't technically snowed in lol. i used the free day to catch up on all my tv! and yeah, i ate way too much. that recipe you guys made from the cookbook looks so good! and i love the idea of brunch on V Day, we don't celebrate but we do like to go to breakfast or brunch every once in a while, it's nice to be up before everyone else!
The amount of snow Boston has gotten this year is absolutely insane! I can't even imagine. Moving to the South was definitely one of the better decisions we've made and today I'm at home waiting to see if my office is closed due to an inch of snow. 🙂 Things are different down here.
I can imagine if you aren't snow people this would get old, and it is a lot of snow. But we are dying for snow here in WA! The mountains are so bare and ski hills have shut down. Send it all our way!
Y'all are just too precious with all your snow pictures! Glad y'all were able to venture out some this weekend!
i cant even deal with the snow anymore.. haha
love that u r having so much fun 🙂 xo

Girl, the snow needs to END!! You guys have an insane amount! How are you liking your new computer? We're going to be upgrading ours with our tax refund and I was thinking about a Mac but now you have me intrigued with the Dell!
You are handling the snow so much better than I would!! Valentine's day brunch is such a good idea! I might need to start that next year.
My fam in Boston and Norwood have been telling me about the blizzards etc. Brutal! But hey… blizzards look good on you because you are rocking those pics!
Looks like you had a fun Valentine's Day!! I love snow days – They are perfect for productivity!

OMG. You guys are the cutest. I'm obsessed with the snow pictures. Every last one of them!! I can't believe how much snow you guys are getting! I mean, it's shutting down Boston – what is that?! IN. SANE. Love that you guys went out for brunch… but what was that dinner?! It looks delish!
Holy moly snow! You guys definitely have had it worse than we have had up here! Everytime they mention Boston on the news, I think of you 🙂 Looks like you've definitely made the best of your time being snowed in! 🙂
7 feet of snow?! AYE CARAMBA! That's just sick and wrong. SICK AND WRONG I SAY!
I want to see Nightcrawler! I hadn't heard about it until a few weeks ago and it sounds so interesting… plus: Jake Gyllenhaal. I mean, c'mon.
I love the two of you playing in the snow… adorable little couple! 🙂
