It’s been a week of Adulting around here, and I’ve pretty much eaten my weight in chocolate chips. Now that the home repairs are (finally!) complete, I’m planning on a little downtime and detox. I’m excited to catch up with girlfriends at this new (for me) dinner spot. If you’re in a reading mood, here are some fun links from near and far. Enjoy the weekend, and … Continue reading Hello Weekend!

We had some emergency home repairs that finally got fixed this week, and the anxiety of waiting around for contractors (will they show up? what will they find?) had me a bit on edge. Now that it’s all completed, I’m looking forward to relaxing with a nature walk around Forest Park today with the dog and boys (they’re off school), if I can pry them away from Terraria, that … Continue reading Hello weekend!

It’s been a long week, and to top it off, on the way to take the kids to camp this morning, I popped my tire on the curb and got a flat. Tire is fixed now, kids are spent from camp, pizza delivery is on it’s way, and I’m so happy to be home with family. I may not move from this couch, except to … Continue reading Hello weekend!

Jeff’s birthday is today, so the boys and I are planning a festive little celebration for him. There might be cupcakes involved too. I’m also hoping to finalize our Summer vacation plans. It’s hard to believe that next week is the last week of school for us, but I’m looking forward to embracing a slower Summer pace. Here are a few links from near and far: Planning … Continue reading Hello weekend!

What are your plans this weekend? I’m going to an all-day creative conference tomorrow at the historic and beautiful Lumen. I normally shy away from events like these, because it means leaving my comfort zone and embracing my socially awkward self, but I’m going to push through in the hopes of meeting other creative types. I’m excited, and a little nervous too. Since I’ll be indoors all … Continue reading Hello weekend!

What are your weekend plans? We’re off to camp. My two school-aged boys love to camp, and I’ve slowly warmed up to it over the years. It helps that s’mores are involved too. I really enjoy being outdoors. It’s the lack of sleep I don’t like. I mean, am I the only one that sleeps with one eye open thinking every little noise at night is a serial killer lurking … Continue reading Hello weekend!

What are your weekend plans? We’re two weeks in to soccer season, so we’ll be rooting and cheering for our boys’ teams. The weather is supposed to be sunny and 70’s, so I hope to do a bit of gardening, something I’ve just recently started to enjoy. We have a much-needed date night planned, and I’m excited to get out of my yoga pants and … Continue reading Hello weekend!

Spring has officially sprung, but you wouldn’t know that with the temps still hovering in the “I’m sick of  Winter ” category. With snow in the forecast for Sunday, the phrase ‘March Madness’ has a new meaning. Hopefully warmer temps will be here soon. Until then, have a great weekend, wherever you may be! xx Continue reading Hello Weekend!
