….I’m thankful for:

cute ballet flats that were 50% off at the Jcrew Outlet

perfect blue skies

date night at a mystery restaurant (!)

heartfelt emails from friends

coffee dates

running errands on foot

picking all the frosting off of the last tiramisu cupcake

the fact that winter is officially over

    I will be making those chicken sandwiches on Monday night for dinner. I have made something similiar with Newman’s pineapple salsa and fresh pineapple but the sweetness of the bbq sauce sounds much better!

    50% off, no way! So jealous. I’ve wanted some Jcrew shoes for forever now, but they’re just too darn expensive.

    I covet your shoes. Sorry, it’s true. Forgive me!
    I just printed this recipe off TK’s site today, despite my husbands rolled eyes. He hates warm fruit. What? Crazy man. Needless to say, I try not to make things he doesn’t care for, but I just might have to make an exception since my kiddos would love it too. 🙂
    Have a great weekend Jenna! I am jealous of your date night too. Does that make me a bad person?

    I love many of those same things: finding a good deal, coffee dates with my husband, and the fact winter is over–although it is still pretty cold/cool in Alaska. 🙁

    You’re totally speaking to my heart right now. I love, love, love J.Crew! Beautiful flats that you just scored!

    The boyfriend just booked us tix for Napa (so excited!!), and I may just have to trick him into stopping at the J.Crew outlet while we’re there. 🙂

    I was drooling over the BBQ chicken recipe as soon as I saw it on PW. Then when I clicked over and saw it was your recipe I was like “who else would come up with this perfect start to spring recipe?!”
