Weekending: the shopping edition

This was one of those weekends that was a breath of fresh air.  And it was so needed.  Every single night last week we had something.  Which was normal during basketball season and then I had this vision in my head that life was going to slow down immediately.  I think God was laughing at me for trying to plan my life out.  But this weekend was finally the perfect combination of fun and relaxing.  #thankyouJesus

Friday afternoon, Katrina texted me and said we should go shopping.  What kind of friend would I be if I turned that down?  Twist my arm.  And since David had a dance at his school, I watched some TV, relaxed and may or may not have already fallen asleep by the time he got home.

Saturday morning was low key and laid back – like all good Saturday mornings are.  I’m pretty sure that the time span from 6am – noon on a Saturday is what makes or breaks a weekend.  We did a few things around the house, picked up some groceries and grabbed lunch with David’s parents.

And then we went to Birkdale Village with Katrina and Angelo to do some shopping outside of Charlotte.  And when I saw we did some shopping, I mean that the boys moved from one sports bar to the next while we hit up one boutique after the next.  Talk about perfection…

My parents were coming through because they had been in Greenville so we watched basketball Saturday night and then got to hang out for a few minutes before they left the next morning.

And here’s what pretty much every Sunday around here looks like – church, lunch, nap, blog.  Why change it up if it works?

Remember when I posted about our date night?  Susannah at Simple Moments Stick wrote about Spring Date ideas and featured my post.  Check it out for lots of great ideas to make time to enjoy life with your man.

    • I feel like any weekend is a win when Saturday mornings are slow!

  • Sounds like a really relaxing weekend. I totally agree about the Saturday morning thing. That’s why I don’t like staying in bed super late on Saturdays because then I feel like my weekend is shot.

    • Relaxing and productive is my favorite kind of weekend! And sometimes I’m guilty of staying in bed too long.

  • I’d pretend like I’m not angry that you were TWENTY MINUTES from me all day on Saturday and I never got a call…but whatevs 😉 Teasing…sort of. Next time though, woman, I better get a text 😉 Glad you had such a nice weekend! Ours was pretty low key over here and totally necessary, too!

    • Didn’t know you were that close!!!! I’ll make up for it. Promise.

    I swear every sunday I do the exact same thing, but hey I love it!! Have a good week!

  • Sometimes I think back to life before kids and remember how amazingly relaxing the weekends can be. Enjoy!!! Someday, sleeping in until 6:30am will be the new norm on a Saturday morning! Ha! 😉 XOXO

    • Haha, so true! My friends with kids remind me of that so I usually decide not to feel guilty about it because I know that one day it will all come to an end!

  • Everybody loves the weekend. Enjoy another week while waiting for another round of weekend. :)

    • That’s really what i feel like I’m doing right now! So much going on that sometimes I’m just waiting for the weekends.

  • Cute pictures with the family! I went shopping as well but pretty much only scored makeup items and nail polish!
