Hope your weekend is free of Dirty Dishes! Friday 5/18

Today is No Dirty Dishes day! Yay! Actually, here is a little secret: I very rarely do the dishes. We have a rule about the cook not having to do the cleaning -- and I much prefer cooking... so....

Oh, and if you didn't see it on Instagram - the kids got haircuts! (finally!)

Anyways, I'm always looking for an excuse to eat outside and No Dirty Dishes day - sounds like a good one. The salmon skewers on my menu this week are a good outside dining food. (Check my menu plan from this week if you want the recipe.)

Ok! On to my favorite links from the week:

8 traits of a happy marriage. I think we're doing pretty good.

Speaking of marriage, is there a wedding this weekend?? (And an associated drinking game.)

I can't believe it has been 20 years since Sex in the City first aired. Oh, and I've always hated Aidan Shaw for Carrie.

It's the time of year for Garden Parties! Who else is ready?

I love a good doormat.

Have a good weekend, friends!
