Over the Weekend

First off, sorry for the lack of pictures. I'd like to blame it on the inability to lift my arms {see below}, but I'm pretty sure I just forgot. Regardless, I do still want to document the weekend for the blog's sake, so here's a few of the highlights:

• Due to the state of our economy, Friday was a furlough day for myself. Sam had planned ahead and worked four 10 hour days so we could have the day off together!


• I purchased a Groupon for Willamette Burger Company last Fall and knew it was expiring soon, so our {weekly} Friday lunch consisted of burgers + the best tots ever!


• Remember the raised beds Sam made a couple weeks ago? They have started an unexpected backyard makeover, which continued this weekend with the removal of more sod.


• Almost four hours later, we were finished. In other words, "ouch" courtesty of my arms + legs.


• Next step: barkdust {and giving our bodies a little time to recover}.

How was your weekend?

What I Wore Wednesday & a thank you!

Another typical week. I did miss a few days due to my photographer {husband} going to work earlier than usual & taking a little long getting ready on Sunday, but 5 out of 7 isn't too bad in my opinion. After each WIWW post, I find myself looking back at the past outfits and noticing a couple things - {1} I have some definite favorites & {2} it's time to get rid of some pieces in my closet. Plus, I find myself thinking about my outfits more, which keeps me out of a slump. I suppose I have Lindsey @ The Pleated Poppy to thank for this awesome idea she had to keep us accountable!

Over the Weekend

This weekend brought another baby shower for my SIL, Laura {this one thrown by her church family} and we headed up just for the occasion. With hosting duties off my plate, I acted as photographer and as you might not be able to see from the pictures I selected for this post, believe me when I say my niece is going to be one styling little girl thanks to all the cute clothes she received!

"My auntie loves me" onesie. Very true!

One of three {handmade} quilts for the baby!

The spread.

The haul.

And the beautiful momma-to-be!
