Fashion Lil Man NaBloPoMo Weekend

Weekend Wrap-Up

This weekend was action packed. Every now and again I have a weekend that is non stop. This was one of them.

Friday I went out with Trina and Niya to a party..details here. After the party Trina and I met up with Eboni the beauty and brains behind the fashion blog Fashionista Next Door. We headed over to J.R. Crickets. We talked and laughed and ate chicken wings and then we looked up and it was 2a.

I’m hooking up with Mom Trends for Monday Mingle. I wore.

Eboni & I

Saturday morning I was SUPPOSED to run a 10K but I didn’t get home until really late and would’ve had to run 6 miles on 2 hours of sleep and some chicken wings and fries..I passed. Later took the children out to a fall festival. Hung out there for a few hours then met my husband to hand over the kids and switch cars and off I went to a pole dancing class with my SIL for her birthday.

Sizing up my competition

You want me to do what?!!!

Just before I was about to go into my Fireman spin..Y'all are not ready

My sexy, pole dancing shoe

Let me say, if you haven’t been. GO! Great exercise, it wasn’t my first time going but I enjoyed it this time just as much as the first. Something about it gets you in touch with your inner sexy. It requires a ton of upper body strength. I am still sore.

After class we headed out to Cheesecake Factory. It is now 11:30 and I am exhausted. Found the energy to eat a D.licious Asian chicken salad and Chocolate Raspberry truffle cheesecake though. I get home around 2.

Get up early Sunday morning to head out to my son’s piano recital. I am so proud of him.

I'm tired.Can't you tell. Lil Mama was on diva mode. Excuse her

Head home, pick up some chicken from Publix, whip up some sides and watched some television…More specifically Real Housewives of Atlanta. Whooooweeeeeee this is going to be a season from the looks of the previews. I know I shouldn’t but I do…and I enjoy it. Makes me enjoy my quiet life and the lack of drama.

Phew..How was your weekend?

Inspiration Needed

Next weekend the Mr. and I are headed to the North Ga. mountains for our annual couples getaway. My MIL in law is coming to town to watch the children so we can avoid the mishap from last year found—-> here

Well now that I am trying to be more “domesticated” I have decided to try to whip up something special for our snacks and desserts during the weekend. Not having a clue where to start I am currently looking at Pinterest for inspiration. Here is what I’ve come up with. I’ll make sure to get pics of everything. Hopefully they won’t turn out like the cookies found—-> here.
