Hi, I'm Rachel.

A few years ago I could barely boil water.

True story.

Determined to be a kick ass wife, I developed a love for football and learned to cook in my tiny Jersey City kitchen. I spend my days working in Manhattan, my nights and weekends chasing after a rambunctious toddler, and the hours in between cooking with my husband and feeding my TV habit...oh, and I blog about it all!

Weekend Getaway

This weekend was simultaneously awesome and exhausting. I can't believe that Monday is already here. On Friday, I took a half day from work and took Shaun to Atlantic City as part of his 30th birthday present. We stayed at Harrah's for two nights. It was SUCH a great getaway!

Neither of us has spent much time in AC (as we call it 'round these parts) aside from super partying at bachelorette and bachelor parties. It was so nice to discover that it's a great spot for a weekend away with gorgeous hotels, beach, some drinking and gambling, great restaurants, and shows. Though we stayed at Harrah's, we also went over to The Borgata one evening, and spent Saturday wandering around the boardwalk, including checking out the brand new Revel Resort, which was simply A-mazing. I can't wait to go back!

On Sunday, we hightailed it outta dodge to get back and celebrate Mother's Day with the great Moms in our lives! Brunch with my family and dinner with Shaun's.

All in all, a fantastic weekend that has left me semi-depressed that Monday has arrived and exhausted from definitely not enough sleep :) Here's our weekend in pictures to give you a peek!

Really does sound like a fabulous weekend! Glad you guys had such a nice getaway:-)

I love weekend trips like that, what fun! We usually did trips to Chicago because it was far enough away to feel like vacation, but close enough to do in a weekend!

I love those types of weekends. Fun and spontaneous! Looks like a great time!
