Sometimes I have a weekend that is just…nice. This was definitely one of them. The weather was great, we spent lots of time with friends and family, and I even scored some great deals :). Here’s a little peek into our weekend::
I visited my cousin Kaylee last Friday. She has two little girls, Mindy & Rosie…Benjamin is right in the middle of the two (age wise).
Such a sweet photo of Benjamin and Mindy holding hands and watching TV together. They also had a fun time playing together and giggling.
We also discovered that Benjamin LOVES cooked carrots and zucchini! Yay for team veggies!!
I also felt industrious on Saturday morning. So when Benjamin went down for a nap, I got busy cleaning the kitchen. I cleaned under the sink (forgot to get a picture). But I was in for a surprise when I moved the washer…
Yuck!
But as a bonus, I did find some lids that had gone missing :).
Under the fridge was not much better…
But after a bit of sweeping and scrubbing, they both looked good as new.

Nathan and I got together with some friends for a game night on Saturday. And I made some yummy brownies to share (recipe coming later this week!).
AND I picked up some great deals at the drugstores this weekend (you can read about my trip here).
We finished off the weekend by having dinner with my family on Sunday night…Nathan made the most delicious chicken pot pies — YUM YUM YUM!!
All in all, it was just a relaxing weekend, and I feel ready to take on the week! 🙂
So now, in an attempt to keep me on task with my annual goals of reading and projects, I have decided to share a few simple goals for this week.
Next week I will update on the progress I have made. So here goes…
1. Read the Bible everyday (get back to following my plan for this)
2. Finish “Don’t Waste Your Life!”, by John Piper
3. Scan all photos from Nathan’s childhood album (and return album to his mom)
4. Make 2 reusable bags out of old t-shirts
5. Have one play date for Benjamin
6. Go walking 6 days (either outdoors or on the treadmill)
7. Pull out the Christmas stocking kit for Benjamin and read the instructions
8. Go on a date with Nathan
How was your weekend? Do you set any weekly goals??
I’m participating in the Clutter-Busting Challenge over at Money Saving Mom. The challenge: Donate, Trash or otherwise get rid if 7 things in your home each week day in May. Wanna join in? Check out the challenge on the Money Saving Mom site, or post a comment below with what you got rid of today!
Well, I’ve been bad this month – not participating in the challenge like I wanted to…
BUT, I think I have a really good excuse!
We are pregnant!! YAY!!!!! We are all very excited 🙂
This is how we “announced” it to our families on Mother’s Day {my sister took the photos of Benjamin — and made sure to sneak in one of them too!}
I have been having mostly bad days of nausea, etc., and just haven’t felt up for clutter-busting or blogging. But I have really missed it! I’m still not feeling great, but I’ve been better at managing it for the past few days.
So here is what I got rid of today:
2 shirts that Benjamin has outgrown
2 bottles of lotion
1 tube chapstick
1 necklace
1 pile of papers to shred
Benjamin was being so cute today. He brought me his shoes which usually means he wants to go out. So I helped him put them on {even though he wasn’t dressed} and let him run around the house. I just couldn’t resist snapping a picture!
Oh, to be a baby again!
What did you get rid of today?
My Sweet Benjamin at 16 months
I just wanted to share a sweet photo that Aunt Kat took of my little guy, Benjamin. Too cute!
