weekends around here

To be totally honest, I’ve been having a hard time getting back in the swing of things and catching up since I was sick. I know I keep mentioning being sick but you know when Mama goes down, heaven help us all. The house is still a wreck, I’m still playing catch up instead of being on top of everything which is where I would prefer to be, but with so many obligations and just needing to take down time when I feel tired things haven’t gotten back on track as of yet but this week for sure.

Our weekends have been full of baseball and soccer games, baking, DIY projects and I got a new haircut.

My new hair was so needed. With a ton of responsibilities and active children, the last thing I want to do is be bothered with my hair. With the length it was so easy for me to just throw in a bun for weeks at a time and I was just over here looking a mess. So 7 inches at my longest layer and 10 at the shortest, I now have a little bob that I don’t have to do much with but give it a little fluff in the morning and go. Kind of excited to see what it will look like as a wash and go now that all of my dead and straight damaged ends are gone. I’ll keep y’all updated on that.

Other than that, we’ve been doing what families do, arguing, living, loving, and maintaining.

I’ve been getting questions on whether or not I plan to bring our weekend vlog series back and the answer is yes. I’m changing everything over on my YT channel now and either this weekend coming or the next I will start to incorporate our weekend vlog series back into the mix. I will say while I’m bringing the series back there will not be a vlog every weekend, but I will try for at least twice a month!

In the meantime, the past few weekends have been pretty normal. Every Friday, if the children have performed well in school I allow them a treat. Trips to Rita’s have been a regular.

My wardrobe is in dire need of a makeover. Went shopping for a few new things for Fall, she was not the hanging partner at all. She even asked for a stroller, I reminded her she spent a whole lot of time trying to get out of the stroller and now she wants to get in. That’s a life lesson for her, enjoy your seasons whether you like them or not. Sooner or late you just may long for them again. Sidenote: Anybody else have a plethora of half full water bottles in their car?

Attended the One Music Fest and had the best time. It was an all day event, we got there around 4. I am a huge fan of hip hop and “ratchet” music if you will. We got to see Wu Tang, Bun B, Scarface, Janelle Monae and we closed out the night with Lauryn Hill. I know in the past Lauryn has gotten a wrap of being SHADY on her performances. I am blessed we didn’t get some of the shenanigans that I’ve heard about it. She was about 30 minutes late, the sound was off for a minute, she kept signaling the sound people and some of her hits were done to a reggae beat. In her defense though, I’ve heard that she is having some issues with the record label and doesn’t have rights to some of her music which is why they can’t be performed as she recorded them. I understand if that’s the case but I’m still a little salty that we couldn’t get Ex-Factor the way God created it. This was our first time going to the annual festival, and if the lineup is great next year we will be there again. The music, crowd and weather was great.

 Wrapped up the weekend with a baby shower for one of my favorites! I still can’t believe Kelli is having a baby!
