Friday Roundup

Yeah it’s the weekend and that means a fresh Friday Roundup! I had a busy last few days and cannot wait to throw on a pair of sweats and become a couch potato. Yesterday I celebrated my brother’s birthday with family. I also attended the opening for Prado Cafe on Fraser Street.

I plan on kicking off my weekend with a nice relaxing bubble bath tonight with a glass of red wine and a few magazines.  My other weekend plans include prepping Christmas/Holiday blog posts, shooting a couple recipes, homework (BORING) and catching a flick at the theatre.

I also want to start making a few fun DIY crafts and gifts for Christmas. If anyone knows of any, please share! Also check out my Christmas and DIY Craft boards on Pinterest.

What is everyone else doing this weekend? I would love to hear your plans!
