Weekending

Joining in with Amanda from Habit of Being for another weekending post....


Busy weekend, not a moment to relax.
Phoebe' first birthday party
(held a few days early so that my mom could join in too).
Lots of preparation and decorations,
cupcakes and snacks.
The party went off without a hitch!
(A separate post with details will follow soon...).
A farewell dinner with mom at a favorite restaurant
And a most delicious margarita to celebrate the end of a good day!

Sunday morning brought an early morning trip to the airport
And a sad goodbye to my mom.
A walk with the dogs in the rain,
and a much needed trip to the gym
(it had been way too long).
Lots of cleaning and laundry,
and a huge purge of my closet.
How refreshing!
A new bookshelf and shoe rack,
and some much needed re-organizing.
Some prep work for school,
Some meals using what we had on hand,
And leftover cupcakes for dessert.

Now, both kids are finally asleep,
and for the first time today,
I am going to sit, relax,
and probably fit in some knitting.

How was your weekend? Pin It Now!

  3. We just need to get together and head to the salon as a team; we can give each other support!
    Glad you had a great time with your mom!

  4. glad you found some time to relax!
    so healthy of you to sit down and knit instead of clean or something like that.
    I need to remember to sit down and knit more when I have the chance.
