Weekend + Giveaway Winner

Good Morning!  I hope you had a great weekend! Ours was pretty low key, but a good one!  Friday, we ran errands and stayed in.

Saturday, hubby was on shift so we started the morning hanging around - I cleaned up, and the kids played with playdoh.  In the afternoon, my sisiter-in-law came over and we went to Bath & Body works to buy some candles.  They have their $11 sale and their pumpkin scents are out ladies!!  We went grocery shopping after to pick up some things for dinner.  I made Natalie's Brussel Sprout and Bacon Mac & Cheese - it was so delicious!  After the kids went to sleep we watched The Other Woman.  It was pretty funny, glad I finally was able to see it!  I love chick flicks!




Yesterday was spent at the pool, it was a beautiful day with no rain, which is rare this time of year so we took advantage and splashed around!


Today school starts up for everyone, so we're back to our routine of homeschooling.  We bought a pre-school curriculum a while back, and are getting a feel for what homeschooling will be like.  So far, so good!

Also....
The winner of my blogiversary giveaway is.... KATIE ELIZABETH!  Congrats!!!  The shop owners will be in touch with you soon!

Happy Monday everyone!

I've been wanting to see The Other Woman! Glad to hear it was good! Did you watch it with your husband? Did he like it too? Might need to convince mine that we need to rent it...

Nat said...

Relaxing days at the pool are the best! I would love to hear more about your homeschooling? Is this the first year you're doing it?

Your candles made me think of a card I saw: I love you more pumpkin spice lattes ;)

What a fun weekend! I'm going to try that recipe. Good luck on homeschooling!

Katie Elizabeth said...

That mac and cheese looks fabulous!! And the candles... it's been taking everything in me not to go stock up but I'm trying to wait until we move! That Vanilla Chai will definitely be mine though!

Courtney said...

Let me know how that lemon mint leaf candle is! I've totally been on the lemon candle train but I don't know about the mint!

We watched The Other Women a couple weekends ago, I enjoyed it too, cute! I am very close to being out of hand soap, candles and wallflowers- I can't wait to go stock up just in time for fall! Congrats to Katie!

Got to love a great chick flick! And omg that mac and cheese looks SO good!! All of those candles seem like they would smell so good too!

I watched that movie this weekend too and thought it was really funny! Love Leslie Mann!

Caitlin said...

I could seriously use the pumpkin and fall scents year round!

I'm looking forward to hearing how your homeschooling goes, we're far from that yet but it's something I would really like to do! I always like to hear what other families experiences are.

Amanda {Tickled Pink} said...

Ohhhh I need to candle hoard!!!! Will you be sharing some homeschooling tips/tricks? We are toying with the idea as well. Have y'all decided for sure you'll continue to homeschool or still just testing the ropes?

Kristen [Playground Prepster] said...

I've been wanting to see The Other Woman! Glad to hear you liked it. I'm jealous of your pool day and your homeschooling!

Courtney @ Shiraz In My Sippy Cup said...

I saw the picture of the brussel sprout mac and cheese on IG and was intrigued! I can't wait to try it out. And the candle seems divine - yum! Have a great week!
