Simple Summer: When Meg and Cait come to town

Hi All!

Today we are giving you a recap of Megan and Caitlin's quick trip to St. Louis!

Oh and if you don't know Caitlin, you should probably get to know her!

This is Cait! 

She is one of Annie's best friends and quite possibly the coolest person you'll ever meet! 

5 Things you should know about Caitlin:

1. Our mom likes her more than us sometimes...

2. Megan and Annie consider her another sister.  The 3rd Simple Sister!

3. Annie and Caitlin are practically on the same wavelength at all times and like all the same things- Panera Hazelnut coffee, white chocolate popcorn, and TJ Maxx/Home Good to name a few. 

4. She's a Nursing Student.

5. She lives right behind us in KC! We all went to grade school and high school together!

Okay now onto our recap from their St. Louis visit.    

There is nothing we love more than a cute shopping and lunch date.  So when Megan and Caitlin decided to come in town for the weekend, Bowood Farms was the first place that came to mind.  Bowood Farms is a greenhouse that has an awesome selection of home and gift items.  If that isn't enticing you at all, then you have to stop in for breakfast, lunch or brunch at Cafe Osage.  They have tables inside the space and outside among the plants and flowers. If it's not blistering hot then we definitely recommend dining outside among all of their pretty blooms.  Bowood Farms has everything you need to have a perfect afternoon.

 Pretty sure this place was sent from heaven.  

Annie got the Moroccan Chicken Salad and Caitlin got the BrieLT (we ate it too fast to take a picture :/) which they split.  The BrieLT was hands down the best sandwich we've ever consumed.  We could eat that sandwich everyday and be very happy!

Megan ordered her typical, yet delicious, turkey club! 

We then did some shopping at Nordstrom Rack and Anthropologie and ended the night the only way we know how... with froyo.

What's up with our Random Blog Posting Schedule?

Woohoo it's MONDAY!!!!!!!!

Did that motivate anyone? Sure didn't motivate me... I gagged typing that.  Let's just all get through today because that means we are one day closer to the weekend!

On to the next topic...

~Blog posting and why we don't post very much :/

Simple Sisters is a place where we can be creative and express what we are learning in school- I'm a Strategic Communication's Major and Megan is a Fashion Merchandising major. We also wanted it to be a place where we could post about our little adventures, fun outfits we've worn, and overall just a space that could serve as somewhat of a public diary. We've been planning on creating one since I was a freshman in college, but it didn't make sense at the time because we were four hours away from each other.  Once Megan decided to join me in St. Louis to attend Fontbonne University we decided it would be perfect; however, we ended up having a super busy school year and never could find the time to create one.

When we were on our family vacation in Florida, Megan decided it would be a perfect time to start one.  Awesome timing Megs :)  I was kind of worried because she moved back to KC for the summer and I was staying in St. Louis... how were we going to do this living in two different cities?  Well yeah, you could say we definitely struggle.

 BUT thats okay!!

We're still trying to find a way to post at least once a week, although we are looking forward to August when we will be back in the same city on the hunt for new little adventures. Hopefully in the mean time you'll follow along and see how we jam some major sister time in whenever we do see each other!

Moral of the story- We are so excited to get back in the same city and share what the Simple Sisters are up to!

Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive of Simple Sisters!!
