One belly, four ways

My sweets, hope you all had wonderful long weekends! I flew down to Florida on Sunday to visit my mom and her husband, and we've been having a great time. It's colder than usual (we wore fleeces to the pool!), so we've been taking long walks and talking about babies. Last night, she and her husband made Spanish tapas for dinner, including Spanish tortilla, Manchego cheese, and garlic-stuffed olives in a beautiful long olive tray. Afterward, we ate berries and brownies and watched The Bachelor, which my mom got really into. (By the way, what was up with that crazy preview for the finale?) Moms are the best! xoxo

  20. Cuuute belly! I don't know what's up with the preview for the finale, but my money's on Tenley. I was on Team Ali until she left. I was actually surprised Jake shot her down when she asked to return, especially when their "relationship" was further developed than his and Gia's, so it seemed. Uhh, I cannot believe I'm so into this show. It's kinda sad!

  90. last week i had my $$ on tenley because she was the only one where he asked the father for the daughter's hand in marriage (at least that's what the editors let us see). then this week they made it appear as if neither was chosen. hmmmm. so surprised he didn't take ali back.
