Day in the Life: Weekend Edition

Hello and happy Tuesday!

I love reading when others share day in the life posts, and I decided on a whim to document my Saturday (mostly!). Really, this post is probably more of a “highlights” of my weekend rather than a full DITL post.

Here’s a look at a pretty good Saturday:

First of all, look what time I woke up! Well, really, this is what time I got out of bed.

I was so tired Friday night, and when I went to bed, I remember thinking “it would be nice to sleep until 8:00.” I’d set an alarm for 9:00 to remember to wake up Hayden, and that’s what woke me from my sleep! After waking Hayden, I read for a few minutes before getting up.

I can’t remember the last time we had a Saturday with nothing on the agenda. I made my coffee…

…put on my fave eye mask (I’ve purchased these 16 times!) to refresh my eyes…

…and then started reading some of my favorite blogs. There are probably twelve or so blogs that I read consistently. A few of the blogs are on WordPress, so they are “easier” for me to read every day as I have that app which I prefer for commenting. I can read other blogs on my phone, but commenting is easier on my computer. So, if I haven’t read as many during the week, I like to play “catch up” on the weekends.

Anyway, Tanya’s Spring Books post gave me lots of great reading ideas that I added to my Goodreads app. (Another reason I like reading some blogs on the computer is because then my phone is free for me to add books to the Goodreads app.)

One of the books she suggested is the third book in the Troublesome Creek series which reminded me that I’d never read the first one. I downloaded that audiobook as well as another one.

I tend to watch certain shows on certain mornings for some reason. Southern Charm is my Saturday morning show.

After I finished watching Southern Charm, I got dressed for the morning.

The warm weather reminded me to change my garden flag from this…

…to this!

What a difference a four days make! (And, Easter is right around the corner, so I should have put up my Easter flag…that’s on my list for this afternoon…which means I can also change my door hanger).

Then, I went to run a couple errands. The sunroof open is always a favorite.

I went to one of my favorite local boutiques. I hadn’t been there since Christmastime, and I loved seeing all the Easter decor.

I left with a few goodies…two new hand towels, a candle, and some hand sanitizer (that I think I will put in Hadley’s Easter basket)

Then, it was time for a walk. I wanted to get some steps in before the afternoon got away from me. I continued listening to the audiobook I started, and I was able to walk for about 30 minutes. I was glad I’d changed into a t-shirt because it was hot outside!

Then, I made a pit-stop at Jimmy John’s for a sandwich before heading to my nephew’s baseball game. My brother had warned me that the awning wasn’t up yet, so there was no shade.

It was a beautiful day for baseball, but wowzer…it was hot outside. The game lasted over two hours, but it was definitely a nice way to spend my Saturday afternoon.

Once I got home, I immediately showered, and I read for a bit. I didn’t document the rest of the day, but we didn’t do much. We watched lots of basketball and Trav grilled out for dinner Saturday and Sunday nights.

One of my highlights from Sunday was going to Trader Joe’s…and I picked up my favorite treat.

Here’s a peak at my basket…and bonus is that I actually remembered to bring my Trader Joe’s tote into the store to carry my groceries.

While I was there, I also saw this guac/salsa combo to try, and it was delish!

Both Saturday and Sunday I read outside for a bit…

Spring is here!

I hope you had some highlights from your weekend as well.
