Happy Monday, friends! I hope you had a good weekend! I'm linking up with Holly and Sarah for today's post. How was your weekend? Mine was really, really good! Here are a few things I did:
Cheers to the weekend! I was up way before the sun, and had my coffee while reading blogs. I love my long mornings at home when I'm off work.
I had my quiet time, which was so good...
...and then I got started on sourdough bread baking day. I made two mini loaves this time! My hand is next to it for measuring purposes. I'm going to start making mini ones to give away, and I've had a few people ask if they could buy some from me when I make it the next time.
After the bread was finished, I did laundry, cleaned, then I got dressed and left to go pick up Marilyn for a field trip. 🤣
I went here to do something fun, but come back tomorrow and I'll share about it then. She's the best for going with me! It's always more fun when friends join you. I hung out with Marilyn for a while after my appointment, then we got yogurt and went back to her house for a while. I had plans that night with another friend, so when I left Marilyn's, I went to Michelle's house.
We had skinny margaritas, gourmet pizza, and lemon pound cake. It was good, and I loved seeing her house! I took this picture in her dining room to remind myself how good those colors look together, because I may do something similar in my home.
I read in bed for a while and fell asleep around eleven that night. I was up early on Saturday and made the bed...
...then I came downstairs to watch a few episodes of my favorite show.
I had excellent quiet time once again, then I got dressed to swim in my neighbor's pool!
How cute is this hat that belonged to my dad? I've never been a hat person, but this one is making me change my mind.
I came home and showered, and cuddled with Chloe while I read my book. I went to Mom's and Bill's for dinner that night, and we had the best steak dinner! I didn't stay long, because the sun zapped me that day while I was at the pool.
I was at church by 7:15 Sunday morning and wearing a favorite dress from a year ago.
My sweet stepdad was baptized yesterday! It was such a great morning of worship and the sermon was phenomenal.
After church I met up with my family for lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant and came home to clean out and organize my closet! This makes me so incredibly happy. I made some big changes and I am loving the result. I need to clean the shelves off that are above my clothes, but I'll work on that here and there this week, starting today. I'm donating a bunch of my clothes that I haven't worn in years, and I'm coming up with different options on how to store certain items.
For the rest of the day I took a nap, washed my hair (always a huge chore), finished cleaning in my room, watched tv, worked on my blog, and talked to one of my best friends. It was a great weekend, and I hope yours was too! What did you do that you loved? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. Love to all!
What a full weekend! I think I know what tattoo you got! Should I guess? I love that green dress and you look great in that hat!
ReplyDeleteIt was such a great weekend! You can guess, or you could just read about it tomorrow when I share more...🤣. Thanks for that, my friend! I still love this Target dress from 2023; it's quite a bit roomier now than it was then, but I don't feel like it looks too big. When it gets to that point, I'll have to pass it on to someone else. I never wear hats, but I really love this huge one!
DeleteI love the sound of your mornings and your sourdough looks so good.
ReplyDeleteOhh! A new tattoo? How exciting. I think I can guess what you got. hehehe What a lovely evening with your friend. That pizza looks so good and well done with your closet.
Have a great week!
Thank you! It is so delicious that words are never adequate. It was what I had for dinner last night! I hope you have a great day, Kim!
DeleteSad I'm not closer to buy one of those mini sourdough loaves! They look amazing!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to spend so much time this weekend with those who are dear to you. I can't wait to see your fresh ink!
Aw, me too! Thank you for that!
DeleteYou are totally rocking that hat! You have great style! I'll look forward to seeing what you've added. Is this the first? How wonderful your step dad was baptized. It's never too late and we're never too old. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love it so much, mostly because it belonged to Dad. This isn't my first, it's my third. You are so right! I hope you have a great day, friend!
DeleteSuch wonderful time spent together sharing food and friendship. So excited to be connected to you ❣️ And seeing pics of my house on your blog makes me feel FAMOUS! Xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt was such a fun night! Thank you for letting me come over and invite myself back when it gets cooler for hot tub weather! You made me laugh out loud with your comment. I do love your home and Freddie!
DeleteSuch a cute picture of you in the hat!! I loved spending time with you Friday. Glad it was a good weekend and I need to get back to organizing and de-cluttering my house.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And thank you a million times for going with me on Friday and for doing something spontaneous. Just remember that I'll return the favor when it's your turn! 🤣 I'm serious...I thought about you with a butterfly...it would be so cool if it were just the outline of one with some interesting little details. I want to sketch something for you and you should consider one! No pressure, though. Ha!
DeleteFirst of all, I love the hat. It looks so good on you and you should definitely wear it. Sounds like a perfect weekend, time with friends, time at home, task accomplished and reading and TV time, plus church and furbabies! Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cathy! I love the hat too, even though I've never been one to wear one except for a baseball cap here and there. It really was a great weekend! I hope you have a wonderful day, my friend.
DeleteSounds like a busy weekend! Hope it is the start of a good week ahead:)
ReplyDeleteIt was, but it was fun. Thanks, friend! I hope the same for you.
DeleteThat sounds like a fabulous weekend! That hat looks fabulous on you. I'm not usually much of a hat person but I'm trying to become one when I have to spend time in the sun. I think it's all dependent on the hat you find though and I have yet to find one that really fits my head well (and looks cute!).
ReplyDeleteIt was, and thanks for that! I don't know that this one fits comfortably, but I can make it work. I totally get what you're saying, though. I have a big head! 🤣
DeleteThat is great news about your step dad! I can't wait to hear more about the tattoo. So nice that you got in a swim and also time with Marilyn. Your closet looks so organized...I need to work on mine! Hope you have a good week! PS I wanted to let you know that I have been about to quit the Bible Recap so many times, and knowing you are doing it too has kept me going. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI think so too! It was a really sweet day at church. Thanks for that, friend, and for your sweet words of encouragement. I'm so glad you've kept going! Accountability is everything. 🖤
DeleteReading about your weekend makes my heart happy- I love how full your life is and nothing is getting you down! Your bedroom looks so cozy- I would be asleep by 7- ha!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love my bedroom is decorated right now. It's my favorite!
