Happy weekend! We’re going to pretend we didn’t see the snow in the forecast for tomorrow night and continue to dream about the blue skies, sunshine, and tulips in bloom. The weather seems to be shaping our days (or is it our moods?) wayyy more than usual during this time, but either way, our weekend plans are usually the same - work on projects around the house ;) That said, here are a few other things on our radar this weekend:
Mother’s Day Brunch: We’re sure there will be many a delicious brunch prepared at home this weekend, but if you’re not in the mood to cook, a few local favorites are offering brunch to-go options - check out Morgan and Company (dreaming about their coffee cake), farmacy (hellooo brioche french toast!), and Rachel’s Cafe and Spice Company (cinnamon rolls to go - yes please).
Quarantine Cocktails: All this staying at home stuff has us eager to get a little more creative with drinks at home, and we just saw that Doc’s Restaurant has started a Cocktail Series on Facebook and Instagram where they share recipes for classic and craft cocktails a couple times a week. We can’t wait to whip up The Paloma this weekend - check out their recipe here!
For Mom, of course: Shopping small is more important than ever, so here are just a few ideas from local shops (offering curbside pickup!) that we stumbled across while perusing Instagram:
Beekman 1802 Hand Cream or Soap from Rude Betty in Glens Falls
A book (or a puzzle) from Battenkill Books in Cambridge
Artwork by local artists from LARAC - click here to view the works on Facebook and coordinate your purchase
All things Patagonia from Fountain Square Outfitters in Glens Falls
French Macarons from Alchemy Bagel in Glens Falls (order before 8pm on Thursday night!)
Tulips from Lot 32 Flower Farm in Greenwich (message them on IG to arrange for pickup or pick them up at Country Power Products in Greenwich)
Everything and Nothing: Color a #colorglensfalls coloring page (download all four for free here!), catch up on watching The Wood Theater’s Virtual Talent Show (watch here - so many great entries!), read a book (I’m (Bri) just finishing this one), build a window box for summer flowers.
Lastly, Happy Mother’s Day! Sending warm wishes to all the moms, soon-to-be moms, hopefully someday moms, dog moms, cat moms, and all the special ladies in between.
Have a great weekend,
Bri + Tom
