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?

Punkin’ Patch

I’m only a week late but better late than never. Last Friday, October 14 to be exact was my son’s 6th birthday. Every year I say we aren’t going to do anything and every year we end up doing something. For the past few years, I wanted to take them to the pumpkin patch but the Mr. said that was lame. Well I made the executive decision this year for us to go and who knew….he had a good time!

We had a ball. At first I felt a little bad that I wasn’t feeding everybody but at $10/person and nearly 30 people in attendance including parents we had to cut corners but it all worked out. The place was a working farm. They had hayrides, a corn maze, bounce house, a train ride, and a ton of other stuff for the children to do. They barely wanted to eat the cupcakes and take pictures before they were off and running. I can’t believe my baby is 6.

Here’s a few pictures of our outing.

Seeing that I was taking snapshots all day, I had to get one photog shot. This is cotton by the way

Monday Mingle…It’s a Partaaaay!

Friday evening I escaped from Suburbia to go kick it with my BFF (Bloggy Friend Forever) Trina from The Baby Shopaholic for her birthday. Every year is not promised so I believe in birthday celebrations…and boy did we have a great time.

Despite the fact that I was coming off a killer workout at the gym where every muscle in my body was sore and aching I put on my clothes and went out to party in spite of. Glad I did. It was great getting out. I felt bad that the Mr. was stuck at home with the children, since there were couples there, but he sent me with good graces…love him.

I’m hooking up with Glamamom for her Monday Mingle. Here’s what I wore:

Blouse: Thrifted (Goodwill) Jeans: TJ Maxx Belt: Banana Republic Shoes: Sole Society

Motivation Monday

Happy Monday. Hope your weekend was well.

Friday, I got a last minute call from Trina asking if I wanted to head down to the Blogalicious event being held downtown. Although it was last minute I threw on some clothes and met her down there. Glad I did. Got a wealth of information regarding how to brand and monetize a blog..Armed with this knowledge, I have decided to brand my blog. Details to come. After networking, having a mojito, and catching up with other area bloggers I headed home to get ready for early morning kick off time.

Lil Man’s first game was Saturday morning. Pleased to announce they won. Gooooo Wolfpack. It was super hot out there, I am counting down the days until cooler weather.

Mr. and Lil Mama

The Mr. coaches his own pee wee team so after the game he took Lil Man with him to his team’s game and Lil Mama and I headed to do some shopping. I needed to get my stepdaughter some school clothes and Lil Man some jeans. Last week he may or may not have gone to school “flooding”. Can’t have that. Was happy that Old Navy was having a sale for $10 kids jeans. I love their jeans because they wash well and last pretty long. I bought a ton of jeans and a few other things and headed to Goodwill. I have taken up thrifting lately and boy some of the finds I have found….I’ll do a post later in the week with some of my finds. After a long day of shopping we headed home.

Sunday was chill day. I slept in. The Mr. took the morning shift. Then I woke up and took over so he could nap. Restful day.

This week I have a few goals that I need to accomplish.

Miles: This week in training for the half marathon, I need to run a total of 14 mi.

Meals: I get texts daily from Martha Stewart Living with daily meal ideas. One day last week one for Pineapple Stuffed Jerk Chicken came through. I am going to try this one day this week. OMG, sounds so good. If it turns out well, I’ll blog about it. You know your girl is kitchen challenged!

Piano: I have been slacking on practicing with Lil Man like I should. He needs to practice every day this week…*sigh*

Welp, there you have it. How was your weekend? What must you accomplish this week? Get motivated…Go, Go, Go, Goooooooo!
