Weekend Recap

Happy Monday! I can't believe it's the second week of January already!  We had a mostly lazy weekend & enjoyed it so much!

Friday night we did dinner at home & cleaned off the DVR!

Saturday brought a lazy morning and then a visit to my mother-in-law for her birthday followed by my cousin Cole's 5th birthday party!
I was feeling plaid and gold on Saturday :)  Love my new necklace & bracelet (both are personalized pieces I received for Christmas - good job to my husband & Lauren)!



So glad we were able to go celebrate that sweet boy!




Cole's party was Paw Patrol theme so of course we were Marshall the fire dog ; )

Saturday night we had Netflix bingeing on the menu but wanted to grab a good meal first.  Jared suggested going to one of my favorite restaurants, CKB!  I am in LOVE with their buffalo mac & cheese?  It is delightful.



After dinner, we returned home to start binge watching Blue Bloods.  We love it so far!  Have any of you watched it?



Sunday, church was canceled so I decided to stay in and clean out my closet & drawers!  I did a complete closet cleanout and got rid of a ton late last year but have lost more weight and decided to do it again!  I love seeing my closet get more cleaned out & plan to keep reducing my clothing collection :)  Losing weight and having limited outfits has helped me get creative and see that I don't need as many clothes.  Several quality pieces with accents and accessories that I love can make a closet go far! 
 


Enjoying the first snow of 2016!  I'm really hoping we manage to get a couple good snows in this winter.  I want to go sledding!



I ended the weekend with painted nails for the week and a cup of hot chocolate with my grandparents.  Pretty good weekend!

Here's to hoping for a relaxing week!  I'm avoiding
 going out in this cold as much as I can.  Brrrr!!!

This week started the new season of the Bachelor!!  Jared watched it with me and this group provided us both a lot of laughs.  Chicken enthusiast, Lace, rose hats...oh my!  I haven't decided yet if I will recap each week like last season but if I do, I will post the first one this weekend!


5. New fave food! 



I'm back in full Weight Watchers mode so I'm finding lots of new foods that I like lately!  I'm loving Eggo's whole wheat waffles for breakfast!  Just thought I'd share in case you were looking for an easy breakfast on work days :)


Hope everyone has a great weekend!
