Weekend in Review:

Curry Festival and Other Fam Bam Shenanigans!

Hey Everyone!!

I hope you all had a fabulous week and an even better weekend!! During the week, we run a pretty tight ship over here. Even though we both make our own schedules, the week tends to be busy quite busy for us, so we take full advantage of the weekend. This weekend was a lot of fun and definitely jam packed with activities!

Friday afternoon was spent at the baseball field watching T and his team, the Yankees, play. I never really watched baseball growing up, but T has been playing for two season now and I actually really enjoy watching it. We are a super competitive family so we take our sporting events pretty seriously ;).

Early Sat morning while the boys were still sleeping, I headed to International Mall for the Nordstrom Beauty Trend Show. The show was a runway style with beauty and fashion mixed together. They talked about all of the new products out for Spring/Summer in the beauty world! They had a lot of stations where professional artists from each brand could show you how all the products worked for your face, it was a lot of fun to attend!

After the beauty event, I came home to change and get T dressed to head to the 2nd Annual Curry Festival.  We didn't know it about it last year and by chance found out about this year. I am Jamaican and Indian so curry is a favorite food of mine and my boys. The food was amazing and we really had a great time!!

Mommy and T got henna!

After stuffing our bellies, we headed to the movies to see 42. We really enjoyed it and definitely had to fight back tears in some parts of the movie. T learned a lot and felt extremely blessed to be able to play baseball.

My handsome men! (I love dressing them alike)

After the movies, we relaxed for a bit and got ready for fight night. We are huge sports fans and boxing is no exception. Tony always jokes that I know more about boxing then most men lol. It was a really good fight between Alvarez and Trout. Canelo Alvarez proved to me and many other boxing fans that he is a very skilled fighter. His defense was impeccable and better than I've ever seen from him. He is now the unified champ at 154 ( he now has both belts WBC and WBA).

Sunday is usually a lot less busy. We went to church in the AM, had some homemade chicken and waffles (sooo good), and the rest of the day was spent relaxing, cleaning, and planning for the week. Later once T is in bed, the hubby and I will do a pamper night together (it's our Sunday night tradition).

I hope you guys had a great weekend and have a great week to follow!!

Stay Fab,
Sheri
