Wishing you a beautiful weekend!

Happy FRIDAY!!! Life has been a bit bonkers-crazy-bananas as of late, and I am looking forward to the weekend. I have a pub crawl on tap for tonight, am hoping to swing by the farmer's market, will be planting flowers for the deck and am getting a hair cut. Lots to do before next week - which is going to be super busy! I am participating in a Harry Potter trivia tournament and will be prepping for Mother's Day with Whole Foods! Be sure to follow along on Instagram and Snapchat (MereCDavison for both) to keep up with everything.

What do you have on tap this weekend?

Happy Hour on the Patio at Renata

A Foodie's Guide to Portland: I only agree with 25% of this list!

Michelle is the BEST: A chocolate chip pancake birthday cake!!!!

How to polish your hair: 2, 6 and 14 are my favorites.

Support + Love: Renata's somm, Chris Wright, has been diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer. If you feel so inclined, chip in so his days can be as peaceful and love-filled as possible. I'd also recommend swinging by Renata for happy hour on the patio - feel the love and experience Chris' legacy.

Patio Weather: A great outdoor rug makes all the difference! Mine is from World Market.

Kiwi Guacamole: This is from the archives and an absolute favorite.
