When Monday rolls around I always am asked, “How was your weekend” – from the people who become a random 2nd family.

“Spectacular, always.” (Duh!) – We live for weekends over here…

When I get to take my boys for super long walks with no care that I have dinner, a workout, cleaning, planning… sleeping to do – like during the week.  Our days are CRAZY during the week.

Yesterday Oso, Evan and I took a super long walk; we even dropped off Oso at Mom’s quarter way through because his coat makes him uncomfortable in the sun.

 

Evan, naturally has it made, he loves the BOB:

He happily snoozed while I did a run/walk combo trying to get some of my endurance back.  We did about 5 miles and went past my old beautiful college campus:

 

It was an awesome way to unwind; and I came home and felt an abnormal calm that I haven’t felt in a while.  Getting back in the fitness saddle puts me in such a better place.  I didn’t completely fall off of my fitness train but it has been a bit of a struggle to fit everything in.  With Evan growing so fast; I feel like I miss so much during the day with him it is hard to leave him at night… Slowly I’m finding a balance and his super independence makes me feel slightly better (well, not really but I’m trying to reach myself it is ok to have “me” time)…

Hitting my matt at home has been a God send… Even if they are quick bursts… It is such a peaceful place… ❤

I’m also getting better about meal prep and incorporating super fresh HOME GROWN ingredients 🙂

 

Today I planted some rosemary, oregano, basil and thyme into a new planter.  I’ll post before and after pictures of what I used to have in my window… my new collection not only will flavor chicken tonight but it is pretty to look at while hanging by the sink.

What do you love about weekends?  We love the simple stuff.. hanging out, cleaning up… Thinking of new projects around the house and hanging in our awesome backyard.

Well this random post is coming to an end because Evan, Uncle Joey and I need to run to a baby shower… Back with some more updates, we love playing catch up… haha

Oh one final thought… Weekends put me in a natural good mood… any other day running to Starbucks to get coffee because Hector forgot to pick it up the night before would probably make me angry… But today I took the time to enjoy a short car ride to treat him instead:

 

Happy Sunday.
