weekending

 

Happy Monday, friends! I hope you had a good weekend! I'm linking up with Holly and Sarah for today's post. Did you do anything fun this weekend? Here's a little peak of a few things I did. 

I love my Fridays! I started off with watching a Hallmark Christmas movie, then I just enjoyed my coffee before moving onto reading my Bible. I got to read the book of James on Friday in The Bible Recap plan, and that is one of my favorite books in the New Testament! That got me to thinking about my Bible, and how much my life has changed since I've been using this current Bible, so I've talked myself into wanting a new one for the new year. I'll be doing research to find the one I want, but I don't want to keep reading this one where someone's name is written all throughout the pages. I'm excited over the thought of a new Bible! 

Is it even a blog post if Chloe isn't pictured somewhere in it? 

She was being really needy that morning. I finally got up to get dressed, though, because I had a hair appointment! I had my friend go a little warmer with the highlights this time. 

If you ever wonder what my hair looks like brushed out, here you go. 

It's growing on me! It's different, but I don't regret my decision. That night I went to my friend Abbey's house. She's a good bit younger than me, and they have three precious kiddos that I loved getting to see and be a part of their nightly routine. The reason for me going over there was to teach her how to make sourdough bread. 

I thought it was so sweet that they made this sign for me!

Everly is six, Asher is five, and Violet is three. These children are precious, but so are Abbey and Steve. I left there with a heart full of warmth and hugs galore. 

I loved being with them, and I adore my sweet friend. She's been one of my best friends for a very long time! We decided to start doing this more often, and I am here for it. 

Because it's cooler here now, it works better if I wait until the afternoon to bake the bread. That morning I met up with my Mom and Trish, and we ran a few errands together. Mom needed to pick something up, and I needed two things from Target, but I also came home with these adorable paper plates. I bought them since Noah will be here this week and we'll be eating more meals here at home while he's here. 

That was my Saturday night dinner: lasagna that I'd frozen and a piece of bread fresh from the oven. 

I watched a terrible movie on Netflix while Chloe napped on me (Merry Gentlemen), then we eventually called it a night around nine thirty. I didn't feel great and wanted to shower before going to bed, so I was glad to head upstairs early. Yesterday was church as usual, then I met up with Marilyn for a light dinner. What did you do that you loved? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog, friends. Love to all! 

P.s. Saturday is Share 4 Somethings (loved or disliked, accomplished, improved upon or needs improvement, and noticed), so mark your calendars! And next Wednesday the 4th is Currently. The prompts for December are things we're currently loving, looking forward to, buying, hoping, and baking. I hope you plan now to join up with me for both!
