Weekend

Mama's Babies Weekend

Weekend Wrapup

I survived another busy weekend and I’m alive to tell you about it!

Friday, I finally got up the courage to really dye my hair. A few weeks ago I got my feet wet with a few highlights but I really wanted a new look. I decided on Friday I was going to live a little and went to the hair salon and ended up like this

I like it…I think. It’s a little bright but seeing that I have had dark hair the majority of my life I suppose it will take some getting used to.

Saturday the babies and I headed down to Cordele, GA which is about 2 hours from here to do a Day Out with Thomas.  I went last year, and remember I left my camera. Not this year, between my phone and camera I was able to capture a good amount of photos. I will do an in depth post later in the week. This should hold you until then!

 Sunday, Trina over at The Baby Shopaholic hosted a fab event for mommies and daughters. While the moms were getting educated on products and methods to use in styling natural hair the little ones were downstairs getting primped and pampered. Another detailed post on this event later in the week..These sweet faces will hold you over!

How was your weekend?

How was your weekend?

Family Shopping Weekend

Weekend Wrap Up

Fun. Family.  Football. Fleeting.

Those four words would describe this past weekend perfectly.

My husband’s mother and sister came in town on Friday evening to spend some quality time with us and my in laws that live here.

Saturday morning we set out for the football field to cheer on my nephew at his homecoming game. My nephew’s team has a group of moms that are all about the tailgating experience. Tents, fried fish, hamburgers, hotdogs, drinks. You name it they had it. The morning weather was cool and perfect and we  really enjoyed one another.

Once the sun got in the sky good it was time to roll out and we headed down to Tanger Outlet to do some shopping. The Columbus day holiday sales were popping. I say holiday sales loosely seeing that they were advertised as Columbus day, yet there were Christmas trees, garland and even Christmas lights in the mix. What happened to Halloween and Thanksgiving?

The pumpkins, ghosts and turkeys have to be upset

I just want the retailers to see I have peeped their game. It’s all about getting us in the mood to spend money. Pretty soon Christmas in July will have a new meaning.

I digress.

Sunday we found our way to Legoland. This was my first time visiting and I was leery before because of the cost but I am glad to announce if you purchase your ticket online and go after four the price is discounted and children 2 and under are free…You’re welcome

We had a great time. The children had a ball, I almost had to go and drag Lil Mama out of the foam Legos. Sooo let me get into  the lady I saw there playing with her son whilst carrying the largest shopping bag I’ve ever seen and the fact that it had Tory Burch on it…… She made my entire day. I daydreamed of all the beautiful, preppy goodness she may have had in there. Flats, boots, that sweater I’ve been ogling….I digress…again.

WonderFULL weekend I had. I hope yours was just as exciting.

You know the drill. Do share. How was your weekend?

Only one more day to get in the running for the $75 Zutano giveaway. Enter here

Lil Mama Weekend

Weekend Wrap Up

This weekend was another that was extra low key.

I mentioned the Atlanta Classic being here this weekend, and to be honest I partook in none of the activities. Not a one. I don’t even know who won the game.

Saturday I had to take Addison to get her “snitches” taken out. My Godmother and Godbrother tagged along while the Mr. and my son was out and about working on his classic car. I couldn’t watch, but everything went off without a hitch. She has a tiny little scar but he said put some vitamin E on it and it should fade in a few months.

We came home and took a little snooze and then I headed out for a late night run to Walmart where I ended up putting all of the children’s Christmas things on layaway. Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!! I’m done except for some books, a few clothing items a Dreamlite and some Stompeez. DONE.

Sunday, I felt like eating good so I whipped up a nice dinner while we scrambled to deep clean the house. For sale sign should be in the yard in a few days. Praying.

How was your weekend? Does Vitamin E really make scars go away or should I get some Mederma? What do you suggest?

Oh..and Southern won the football game. Congratulations to my two Southern University readers ;-/
