Have you seen any bands in concert more than once? I have a close battle between the number of times I've seen Walk the Moon and Matt + Kim going.  Ironically, I saw both of them in concert this year.  I never thought I'd be someone who saw a band more than once, honestly, but when you see a good show and you keep being drawn in by their new music, it happens. I went to see Matt + Kim last night in St. Louis.  This was one of my first concerts in St. Louis.  Yes, I've attended LouFest for years, that's a music festival so it's different.  Mike & I went and saw Night Riots and Dreamers at a smaller venue in the fall.  I was excited to check out a larger venue and to be reunited with Matt + Kim. They put on a show, like they always do.  I wasn't sure what to expect.  It's the smallest crowd I've been in for a Matt + Kim concert and vibes are just different here.  Maybe it was because it was a Tuesday night.  Maybe it was because it was rainy.  

In the past two weeks we've made our own pizza's twice.  I think this idea is going to stick because it's fun and easy. We've been using this crust recipe and enjoying it: Sally's Baking Addiction . My favorite combination (so far) is adding some chipotle to the sauce and jalapeños , and caramelized onions on top. It's super affordable and delicious. We ate these right before we went and saw Black Panther .  Go see it.

Juju Papers - Sisters of the Sun - Gold on Cream Sunday our day went a little like this. I always get up before Mike and I take my time enjoying coffee and making my breakfast while diving in to our plan for the day. Once Mike got up we took our typical 8 mile run, which was really beautiful and I'm starting to get myself back in running shape from the lax I always seem to take in the winter.  Although I didn't take as much of a break this winter as I usually do. Errands.  Does anyone like these?  I do not.  We went to an inner suburb that has all the stores we need and Mike always comments on how poorly designed it is. Mike focused on his homework and I spent the next three hours hanging a gallery wall.  This is the first gallery wall I've hung that I wanted multiple columns to be even and line up.  It was not the most enjoyable project.  And I'm sure it's not perfect, except in my eyes.  Three hours. After dinner I spent about the same amount of tim
