It’s Monday, and we’ve lost an hour of sleep. However, I did have a really good weekend and I thought I’d share a little bit about that today. On Saturday, I had a “day date” with my mom where we had lunch, got some cupcakes, did a little shopping, and then saw a movie!
We had our lunch at Mt. Adams Bar and Grill, which has been around for awhile but my mom and I had never been. I got one of their brunch options and their pancakes are seriously amazing. We’ll definitely be going back!
As part of my mom’s Christmas gift, I got her a certificate that would let her choose 12 cupcakes of her choice from 3 Sweet Girls Cakery. After lunch, we visited the bakery to see what cupcakes they had available and chose our dozen. We just ate our first ones a minute ago, and boy are they yummy! Their shop had so many cute options – from cake pops to cookies – that I’m sure I’ll be back. There is a lot that would make a lovely gift!
For the life of me, I can’t remember the name of the flavor for those first three (at the top) but the others are a mix of vanilla and wedding cake. They had other options, but all of those had fillings so you’d have to pay the extra 25 cents, which isn’t a problem, but we’re not huge fans of fillings so we just went with the “free” choices.
Finally, we went to the Kenwood Theater (which has so many fun food options from your typical popcorn to cupcakes and macaroons from a local bakery). I had a coupon for a free small popcorn that my mom and I shared (if you’re local, sign up for their newsletter to get your own coupon). We decided to see Game Night as it looked really funny and we’d heard good things. It’s definitely an enjoyable movie, with plenty of laugh out loud moments. I wouldn’t say I’d rush to go and see it in theaters, but it’s worth watching at some point! Both my mom and I enjoyed it.

What did you do this weekend? Any upcoming plans you’re excited about?
Mother/Daughter Date Day: Lunch, Cupcakes, and the movie Game Night #ontheblog #moviereview Click To Tweet
What a fun mother daughter date you guys had!! That movie is on our list to see!! xo, Biana
OhhhI love so much what you shared here. My mom lives out of state but when we see each other, we try to do things like this too. Pedicures and her favorite pralines are a MUST! It’s always a good time.
Sounds like it was a wonderful weekend with your Mom. Those cupcakes look so good.
Looks like a great weekend. I love having dates with my mom, we try to do it once a week if we can 🙂
How fun is that, what a great time!
That sounds like such a fun mother-daughter date. I love me some cupcakes!
What a great day with your mom! Now I’m feeling wanting to do that with my mother. And those cupcakes look fabulous!
How fun! I legit see my mom almost every day and we are always running around doing errands together but it’s not often we get to do it without a kid or two or three tagging along. Those cupcakes look good and I’m glad you enjoyed the movie.
It looks like you had a lot of fun! Love spending the day with my mum. The movie looks lovely, I love Rachel McAdams
Sounds like you all had a great weekend. And, you can never go wrong with cupcakes!!!
Aw that sounds like such a fun weekend with your mom! I’m drooling over all those yummy cupcakes. My mom lives near me for part of the year (late spring to early fall–she goes to FL during the winter) and this makes me want to plan a fun day with her when she gets back!
What a fun weekend! Those cupcakes look amazing!
That movie looks super funny! We will probably catch it on Netflix sadly
Sounds like such a fun day! Those cupcakes look delicious. Glad to hear that you guys liked the movie. It’s one that I plan to see when it gets released on video.
Awww, I love that you had a date with your mom! I haven’t done one of these in a long time, but we like shopping together and getting something to eat. There are a lot of movies out though that she’s mentioned wanting to see, and I’d love to take her 🙂 Also I love that you incorporated cupcakes into your day, simply because 🙂
Those cupcakes look yummy! Glad you had a good mother/daughter date!
So fun. I want a cupcake now. I sure miss my mom. I am glad that you take the time to spend with yours.
I bet you guys had the best day ever and your mom loved every single moment of it. You are a great daughter and I am sure she was gleaming ear to ear about it all weekend.
What a great mother-daughter outing you had! You’ve made me crave cupcakes now.
I love that you guys got to spent a great weekend together. Sounds like a perfect weekend. I haven’t heard of that movie, but will keep it in mind. We had plans but scratched them for a weekend relaxing around the house lol.
I love your mother/daughter date! Those cupcakes looked amazing & I am with ya on fillings, I don’t like them either. 🙂
Sounds like a fun time!
Looks like you had the perfect day! We’re planning on seeing Game Night at some point.

I’m so jealous of those cupcakes. They look delicious!
Sounds like a great weekend! I have been wanting to see Game Night, I am glad to know I don’t need to rush to see it. I went to lunch with a friend. We tried out a new restaurant! I had a gourmet mac n’ cheese dish – delicious!
What a fun day! Those look yummy. I’m with yall. I like my cupcakes filling free. lol
That sounds like such a fun day date with your momma, and those cupcakes sound like a great gift idea! Your movie theater sounds way cooler than mine, we just have the regular popcorn and candy, no cafe style treats to choose from! I need to see Game Night, it looks really funny. Right after Wrinkle in Time lol!
Aw! How fun! Love date days with my mom.
How sweet! Wish my mom did things like this with me… – http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
I love that you and your mom do so many fun things together. My mom and I didn’t start doing day dates until a few years ago and I really wish we had made more of an effort when I was younger. Mr. Adams Bar and Grill looks like such a cute restaurant too and reading about those pancakes has me craving breakfast for dinner, lol.
Your day with your mom sounds fun, and those cupcakes look so good 🙂
cakes, mothers and daughters is what haven is made of! 🙂
How fun! I’ll try to catch Game Night when it hits Netflix.
Just love that you did a day date with your mom! And, that cupcake gift is just perfect! I would love to pick out 12 different cupcakes! Our theater just got bought out by a new company and I am just loving all of the new food options!

What a fun weekend to spend with your mom! Those cupcakes look delish!
What a fun day! The exterior of the restaurant is lovely. And it sounds like the food was just as good. Glad you had such a great outing with your mom!
That sounds like a great day! I want to see that movie, but I will probably wait until it comes out on DVD!
Aw, that sounds lovely. I wish I could have dates with my Mom more often, but luckily, I get to see her next week!!!
Yay, I’m so glad you get to see your family next week!
I’m thinking the top three might be cookies and cream? What a beautiful day out for you and your mum Lauren, those cupcakes look delicious! That little bar and grill looks gorgeous, straight out of a small town romance film. Thrilled you both had such a wonderful date, you’re the sweetest Lauren <3 <3
I drove kids to and from activities, so I want your weekend! I love the cupcakes, yummy 🙂
Love it! I always enjoyed “date night” with my mom. Those cupcakes look yummy. I’ll probably watch Game Night when it comes out on DVD.
