Remember last week when I said I was going to post five days of the week and then I posted three days?
Oh well, it’s the thought that counts.
Weather report: Still gorgeous in Chicago!
This past weekend was pretty wonderful. The best thing about being a stay-at-home mom is that I actually don’t even notice the weekends, except that we get to see Tim a bit more than usual, which is always a good thing.
This is what we filled our time with:
- We visited our friends’ new home in the suburbs and ate Thai food and played Euchre and the women totally won and that was the best. Our friends have a 11.5 month old, so I was able to pick their brains about all things baby/infant. It was the perfect end to the week and beginning of the weekend!
- We took a family trip to the Chicago Botanic Gardens. We had never been there before (even though I had been not-so-subtly hinting that I wanted to go there for the past four years now, but who’s counting?) and I absolutely loved it. We walked around looking at trees and lakes and flowers and other families and it was a nice time getting some exercise and talking about life.
In true Clara fashion, she slept through the ENTIRE trip to the gardens. All four hours of it.
- We watched ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ and I’m still deciding if I liked it. I think I did, because I liked the ending… but it was still a bit depressing for my taste.
- I decided we should probably always have one of these chocolate bars on hand. (I love when I fall in love with a product I get compensated to promote!)
- We watched our beloved Bears get demolished by the Packers. I have no idea what happened in that second half, but it was not pretty.
- We went to church where I saw some girlfriends and we saw some couple friends and were able to catch up! I love being involved enough in a church to see some familiar faces when we go to service.
- We went on a walk/coffee date to the Ugly Mug, which is a coffee shop near our house that I love, since they have amazing smoothies.
What was the highlight of your weekend?!
Cheers!
