My First Paint and Sip + More Weekend Fun

By Courtney 18 Comments

Happy Monday to you all! How did the weekend treat you? Good, I hope!

We had a pretty nice weekend over here, with one major highlight being my first ever paint & sip outing.

paint and sip

Or rather…paint, sip, and EAT! The place that we attended, Canvas, Corks, and Forks, is apparently known for their – get this – mac ‘n’ cheese bar.

So while I couldn’t necessarily sip on the good stuff (aka, wine), I did get myself a delicious lemonade and a couple samplings of their mac ‘n’ cheese. Pretty sure my favorite was the one with gouda and roasted red peppers. Yum!

And the reason for Sunday’s outing? To celebrate my bestie’s birthday!

IMG_5360

You guys should know Heather by now, right? Most of you long time readers will certainly recognize her. Heather is my bestie since kindergarten, and it’s hard to believe that we’ve known each other for almost 27 years now. CRAZY! Happy Birthday, Nutjob! <3

IMG_5359

Oh yeah, and as for the whole painting thing? Here’s my finished piece of art! I mean, I’m no artist, but I’ll take it for a first attempt.

As for some other highlights from the weekend?

There was the most beautiful double rainbow on my way from painting on Sunday.

IMG_5361

Still so weird to think that on January 10th we had rain, thunder, lightning, and rainbows?!

IMG_5366

On Saturday, Jay made us some more awesome omelets…peppers, onions, spinach, and tomatoes with provolone for meeee.

On Saturday, we took Lucas to a new-to-us nearby museum, which he absolutely LOVED!

I’ll have more details on our trip coming up soon!

Stitch Fix outfit alert! ;)

On Friday night, we had a delicious dinner out at Brown’s Brewing Co. Complete with a spinach and artichoke dip appetizer…

An amazing cobb salad…

And a side of sweet potato fries for good measure. Winking smile

We spent some time working on putting together a new “toy” for us down in the basement (details soon!).

IMG_5345

Lucas had to get in on the action…he loves his tools just like his daddy.

IMG_5346

There was a little fro yo action, with alllll sorts of caramel and cookie dough.

16 handles fro yo

And there was even time for a little laziness. Because, I mean, who doesn’t love laying in bed watching Blaze and the Monster Machines?

IMG_5354

Okay, I’d take the laying in bed part…the Blaze part, I could do without. I think I’m getting to the point where I can recite to many of those episodes.

But he, obviously, doesn’t mind one bit. <3

And there’s a look at some highlights from our weekend! A good one, for sure.

Did anyone watch the Golden Globes last night? We caught some bits and pieces, but there were some pretty funny moments and some beautiful looks, too!

    sip and paints are booked out six months in advance where I live. I'm dying to go someday! We enjoyed 45 degrees on Saturday running and playing outside and then three inches of snow Sunday.

    I never heard about sip and painting. But it looks pretty fun, though. And all these Mac'n'Cheese seems fabulous!

    Our weekend was pretty low key for the first time in a long time, it was definitely the recharge that we needed! However, can we go back a day? I think I missed some important stuff like a hubby made omelet, sweet potato fries and froyo! That would have made our low key weekend...perfect!

    The first Paint Nite I did (that's the company I went through) was also of a tree scene. My husband and I both did it, so it was kind of weird to come home with two very similar pictures. This weekend I reluctantly did my long run of 5 miles and watched Jurassic World, which was a big disappointment for me!

    I've done one of those wine/paint classes before. It was at a Mexican Restaurant, I took my sister, and it was tons of fun. I need to sign up for another one.

    I did my first paint and sip when I was preggers too and I'm horrible at painting so it didn't go so well! Haha! But I had fun with friends and that is what counts!

    Obviously I'm underage, but I'd still totally do a sip and paint without the alcohol - it looks so fun! This weekend, I mostly relaxed and got prepared for the upcoming week, but I did try out a class at CorePower Yoga, which I loved. That might become a more regular occurrence, especially since I could use a little more yoga in my life.

    That painting class sounds amazing! I went to one once but it was way less neat we had to bring our own drinks and snack!

    Paint and Sip is so.much.fun. But, a mac-n-cheese bar?! Oh my goodness, now you are talkin' ;) I was in Disney World this past week and ran the 10k on Friday (with Baby C). We did great :) The rest of the weekend was very relaxing. Now it's time to get back into the swing of things.

    Your art looks great! We went to one of these paint nights before Christmas and had a great time. We hung my husband's piece on the wall, because it actually looked like art. Mine... not so much. It was fun though!
