Pearls and Platters: Our Weekend

We started the weekend with my newest breakfast craze - French Toast Rolls.

All you do is: cut off the crusts
roll out the bread flat with a rolling pin spread out whatever filling you want.
(If you want to use fruit, chop it up and place it down one side so it's not overflowing when you roll it.) Dip the rolls in a mix of 1 beaten egg & 1 Tbsp milk, making sure to evenly coat. Put them in a pan and roll around to brown all the sides. I have done 2 different versions so far. Nutella/Banana and Strawberry/Cream cheese. Both have been super tasty. I was thinking about experimenting with a savory version with ham and cheddar cheese, or veggie and cream cheese. Possibilities are endless! The weather this weekend was really nice temperature wise, so we decided to make a trip to the zoo. I was expecting it to be super crowded, but it wasn't at all which was a nice surprise. We were able to be up front on ever exhibit without having to wait.

Which also included petting a real kangaroo. Which I didn't do..because I am a germaphobe...

Mallory informed us that she would like to be a flamingo. I must agree. They are pretty awesome.

I was pretty sad to see the weekend come to an end, but then I remembered the big Lilly sale was today! I was able to snag some great finds for me and the little one:
