My mom is in town this week. We're making homemade lasagna and chili, learning that a cart full of groceries can miraculously be conquered in an hour, watching Jane Eyre with hot chocolate and toffee popcorn, on a mission to add color and skinny jeans {gasp!} to her fall wardrobe, overstaying our welcome at Panera Bread {did you know that if you talk long enough, they'll actually clear your table for you?} and getting long overdue massages.
Best week ever?
I think so.

What a wonderful week - have so much fun! PS - Nothing like homemade Chili in the fall! Wishing I had a bit of cold weather...
Haha, sounds like a great incentive to stay a long time if they clear the table for you!! It sounds like a wonderful visit, have a delightful time :)
Sounds like you are a pretty lucky girl!
Girl time is always great! I loved Jane Eyre, classic story!
panera bread is the best thing ever! i'm so sad they don't have one here in utah. and yes, every time i go they end up clearing out plates!!

Which version of Jane Eyre? I just finished the book (which I LOVED) and have been trying to find a good movie version.
Awww this sounds fantastic. I love mom visits. I bet she's so excited to be a grandma =)

I love mom visits! That sounds like such a fun week and a fun way to spend her birthday. And that salad looks awesome.
Sounds like fun Mother Daughter time....always important and necessary. As I read thru this post I was thinking in my head yes,yes,yes to all the things your doing...sounds like fun! : )
I had no idea that they will clean your table if you stay long enough at Panera! I usually go there to work on school work and they've never cleaned my table for me before! Lucky you!
Fun! Mama time is the best time :)
i need a massage!! i haven't had one yet during my pregnancy!!
Mom weekends are the best!
Have fun!
Lindsay
be sure to document the shopping!
;)
Aren't moms just the greatest! They make everything seem ok. I bet you love being closer to yours now.

Gotta love moms ;) She looks like such a sweetheart and actually I thought you were going to say she was your sister she looks so young. Please do tell her someone said that! And have a fun week together!
Sounds delightful! I can't wait until my Mum visits in 2 weeks from Australia. We'll watch Mandy Moore in Because I Said So and I'll get to show her all my favourite purchases recently! x

toffee popcorn? i need this.
i love panera! the town i'm living in now doesn't have one and it makes me sad. rumor is we are supposed to be getting one, but that rumor has been going around for about 2 years! i should probably stop holding my breath.
i read your blog and twitter in an english accent in my head for some reason. do you have an accent? i don't know why i have pinned you as a someone with an english accent?!
well your family is beautiful and you are the cutest preggo i've ever seen! i've been a silent blog creeper for too long!
enjoy your time with your mom! i know we could all use that sometimes.
so sweet. What a cute mama.

Awww... Makes me wish my mom lived close enough to have a "girls day". I think 2300 miles is a bit far for the commute though. ;) Moms are the best though!
Mmmmm Panera bread salads!!!!!! How perfect a week can be with a visit from Mom!!!!! I hope this will be the best time ever for you both!!!!! Sounds like so much fun!!!!!
sounds like an amazing girls week; kinda jealous over here ;)
Have a great time with her!! That sounds like the PERFECT plan!
There is nothing better than homemade lasagne that has been made by your Mom. I would love me some lasagne right now actually.
Feeling lucky? GIVEAWAY
Sounds like a lot of fun!! Good company+good food= amazing times!! (:
moms are the best :) once i had my daughter i grew so much closer to my mama and appreciated her so much. sounds like you got that down :) pictures of the new wardrobe please!
aww have fun with your mom!
My mom's recently made the foray into skinny jeans. She claimed for years that they were "too young." But she's been proven wrong! The ones she swears by are Ann Taylor Loft's skinny jeans and Not Your Daughter's Jeans (sold at Macy's and Nordstrom). Both of them fit older women's bodies while still looking super hip and awesome.
oh, trust me.
panera bread & i have had many awkward experiences.
such as cuddle bug & and spending an awfully long time sitting in their lounge chairs just talking.
i swear the man took our trash, then offered us refills...then asked if we were going to buy anything else...then started vacuuming under the chairs we were sitting on....
awkward.
the boy and i decided we were no longer welcome.
Oh, I'm so looking forward to my parents coming to visit me from the US (I'm in Australia). Can't wait to do all those simple but wonderful things with them... just hanging out in cafes, catching up, soaking in the sun, antique shopping in small towns. Can't wait!
Sounds like you had a blissful time visiting with your mom. Any success on working skinny jeans into her wardrobe?
I think I get the table cleared for my almost always. Panera is awesome. Now I miss my mom.
go mom's. can't wait to spend a wknd like that with my mama.
I LOVE when my mom comes to town. Sounds like you had a wonderful time together!~
Look at your cute, sweet mama and her Panera salad and apple! Y'all's week sounds absolutely perfect! Enjoy! :)
Sounds like so much fun!
is this you????

the first and last ones?? I really reallllllly need to know!!!!!!!!
if it is, email me at theadventuresofrosieblog@gmail.com
I loved Jane Eyre. I wish I had thought to add toffee popcorn & hot cocoa to the mix. . :)
Love, Leigh
How nice...I enjoy the time with my daughter Complicated Kai, in San Diego....as I now call her. I was just thinking before I read this that more of us "older" lovelies would enjoy blogging. Does your mom blog? As a new blogger, recent retiree, there are a lot of techno stuff to learn, but it is really an outlet I think others would enjoy too.
OH my gosh, I instantly knew that plate!!! Hahaha. Love Panera-- their mac and cheese is to.die.for. :]
Enjoy time with your mama! Bet you can't wait to meet your little one!!

What an awesome week! I'm finishing up school this semester, and I'm kinda stressed this week. I know you were just there (finishing up school), so just remember how lucky you are to NOT be in it right now, and enjoy your week with your mom! :)
Sounds like you have lots of fun planned! Moms are the best! Soon you'll have a little one saying that about you! Kids are so precious! : ) Have a blast with your momma!

Jane Eyre is one of my faves! And I so wish my mom would wear skinny jeans, she's size 4 and refuses! Old fashioned....blah!
having massages and mom's food, what else should you ask for?
have fun love!
