Hello! Hello!
What a weekend! The Hubs and I were actually in Grenada last week and just got back late Thursday night. I shared a few pictures on Instagram over the weekend, if you are interested.
It was such a gorgeous island. We had a lot of fun and I can't wait to share more from our trip soon.
First up will be a Caribbean themed Fashion Friday this week, but here's a sneak peak at the beaches first. Ahhhhh.... take me back.
We came back to a very busy weekend in Asheville. Friday night was the Girls and Boys Club 25th Anniversary Gala.
We went with our friends Marilyn, Michael, Chris and Grant.
After a late night, we woke up early Saturday morning for the March for Babies.
This year's walk was a little less eventful for me since I wasn't the Chair. I did the warm-up for the crowd, and then was able to enjoy the walk.
After the walk, the Hubs and I went to the Herb Festival to pick up our garden stuff for the year.
We basically collapsed Saturday night and spent Sunday working on planting and opening the deck and outside areas of our house for spring.
It's always nice to get it all cleaned up! I'm planning on sharing more from my garden soon including some garden to table recipes!
What a weekend! Luckily this week is going to be pretty calm. I'm looking forward to being back home and settling back into my little routine.
Have a lovely day everyone.
Thanks for stopping by today! Come back tomorrow for a 5 ingredient strawberry salsa.
I’m linking up with Marvelous Monday.
Your turn!
How was your weekend?

Ahhh, so gorgeous! I've never been to Grenada, but I have a friend who's there for med school right now! That gala looked like lots of fun! I love your dress! 😀
Susanna @Zealous Mom says
Oh my, the pictures of Grenada are stunning! I need to go there. And also, I can't wait to participate in a March of Dimes event with you.
Pragati // Simple Medicine says
Gardening is my favorite part of spring! I can't wait to see pictures of your garden. That herb sale looks AMAZING!
Mary Beth Jackson says
I have worked on the garden for the last couple of weekends- rearranging and planting and cleaning out the planter box. I will be doing some more planting this weekend and hope I don't scorch everything! AHHHHH, a beach vacation right now sounds great! 🙂
Andrea on Vacation says
I can't wait to hear about Grenada! I've only been there once for a day as a cruise stop.
JulieWunder says
It's a really cool place! More coming up this Wednesday and next 🙂
Dani @ Dani California Cooks says
Gosh...that island getaway looks pretty dreamy. I'm jonesing for a tropical vacay soon!

I hope you get to go!
Runaway Bridal Planner says
I just went on a mini imaginary beach vacation in my head thanks to your photos!
Wow, beautiful I need some feet in warm sand! So jealous! But happy you had a great time!
It's been pretty yucky rainy snowy weather the past few weeks here, but I saw on the news we might hit 80 later this week so I will have to spend a few minutes in the sun and soak up some rays and pretend I am on a beach somewhere, LOL
JulieWunder says
Yes! I'll make a tropical drink and just pretend sometimes too.
Hope it was warmer this past weekend.

Beautiful pics of the island. I have never been there but looks gorgeous. We had March of dimes here as well this wkend. I did not attend but passed many on the boardwalk walking it during my run. Great cause!
JulieWunder says
It is a great cause! Hope you enjoyed your run.
Catherine @ foodiecology says
That water!!!
We were at the beach last week (Gulf of Mexico) and while it was beautiful and just what the doctor ordered, the murky water was nothing like that!
JulieWunder says
I know! There is nothing like the Caribbean for those clear waters.
Mary Ellen @ VNutrition says
Your trip looks amazing! I've never been to Spain yet but hopefully can get there soon!
I wish there was a herb festival in my area. I'm obsessed with getting fresh herbs in our garden this year. They make food taste so much better!
JulieWunder says
They do! I look forward to having them every summer.
Susie @ Suzlyfe says
a) that water. the color of it. AMAZING
b) You looked gorgeous at the gala!
c) OMG I want to go to an herbs festival!!
JulieWunder says
D) Thank youuuuu!!!!
Blane Sherer says
You are such a Happy and Frequent traveler.
Love that beach shot.
Looking forward to seeing more.
JulieWunder says
Thank you! Yes, I love travel so much.
Emily says
I love that you participated in the Walk for Life. What a precious gift life is, and this was such a good reminder! It looks like you had a wonderful trip. I hope you are well rested. <3
JulieWunder says
Thank you! It is such a good cause!
Annmarie says
Grenada looks absolutely beautiful! My in laws were just there and loved it- unfortunately, I am allergic to the sun so I will only be able to enjoy it via photos 🙂
JulieWunder says
I hope they had fun too. We hunkered under umbrellas because we burn so easy 🙂
Morgan @ Morgan Manages Mommyhood says
Oh, I so wish that we could have a real garden! We have the room but we're surrounded by tall trees that while nice becuase of the shade, shade the yard too much for a garden. 🙁 Our town does offer cheap, paid gardening plots you can rent for the season, so I'm hoping next year I can rent one and have alltheproduce, once the boys are a little older!
JulieWunder says
Oh bummer! I watched out yard for a year when we got our house and picked the one spot we get sun for most of the day. We are pretty shaded too-- our yard even blooms a week later than the rest of town!
Dan Steadman says
looks like a lot of fun...mine was interesting, we were busy cleaning the house....and I had a headache and was exhausted all weekend...but Caleb did have a great fifth birthday party Sunday
JulieWunder says
So glad you had a good one!
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
I remember when you chaired that event last year! I need to get moving on some planting. I am so not a green thumb at all!
JulieWunder says
You'll have to find some hearty, drought tolerant plants then 🙂
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
Looks like a great weekend! I'm ready to start planting and getting my deck ready too, but Mama Nature did not cooperate this weekend with 40s and rain! Seriously? What a way to come back from California....
JulieWunder says
Oh no! That is the worst. Hope it was warmer this past weekend for you.
