Friiiii-dayyyyy! I can’t even wipe the smile off my face today. Just happy AF it’s the weekend. Got up early, early this morning and cleaned the house from top to bottom. Even decorated for Spring a little too. I LOVE walking in Friday evening to a clean house. Makes starting the weekend extra sweet! You guys, we have hardly any plans….AGAIN! I’m sleeping in tomorrow, that’s #1 on my list. I’d love to work on the patio, if Mother Nature cooperates. Hope you have a good one!

BIG thank you to everyone who entered the {succulent wreath giveaway} If you haven’t entered….you’ve still got time!

The winner will be announced tomorrow!

5 things on my mind…..

Wasn’t it such a perfect weekend? Hey Mother Nature, keep up the good work! We rested. We relaxed. We enjoyed friends + family. And we had corned beef and cabbage. I gotta say, it was a good one.

But, hot damn…I woke up on the wrong side this morning. I’ve been grumpy AF and I can’t blame it on staying up too late or a hangover…Ha! Tomorrow will be a better day though, I’m sure of it!

I loved seeing everyone making xoxostacyb recipes over the weekend. Makes my whole day. And all the Weight Watchers questions and newbies. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions….I got your back. And keep posting food pics. Love all the fun ideas!

There is no truer statement. Ha! What’s better than strolling the aisles of Target with a Starbucks in hand….all alone? Not much. Welllll, maybe a big ass glass of chardonnay. Bogle chardonnay to be exact.

I may be having chardonnay withdraws peeps. Embarrassing to admit, but I’ve actually had a dream about wine. I was pouring it and the sound made me smile so fucking hard it hurt. Think I even woke up smiling.

Since wine is off limits till April 18th, let’s chat about ALL THE THINGS Target. The next best thing!

Target is rolling out Spring. Spring clothing. Decor. Seasonal items. It kills me every time I walk in those double sliding doors. I have to repeat, I’m ONLY her for toilet paper and La Croix. Ha! It never works though…..

Okay so here are some items I’ve purchased. Some I have on my wish list. And some that I’ve got my eye one at the moment.

Friiiidaaayyyyy! 11 days left till SPRING! (I just googled it) Goodbye Winter. Gimme all the sunshine. I woke up early AF, like always. I made the decision to skip the gym and clean my house for 2 hours. And I feel really fucking happy about that decision. There’s something to be said about starting your day with a workout, trust me, I get it. But, leaving for work on a Friday morning with a clean AF house. It’s pretty close up there too. I did a little shimmy as I walked out the door. Ha!

Weekend plans: zip. zlich. nada. Which makes me slightly anxious. Being sober and all. What will I do all day? Anyway, have a great weekend! Do all the things. Have a drink or two for me, k?

Before you get your weekend started, I’ve got 5 things on my mind…….

Hello Friday! And Welcome March! Question…..

What’s your coffee order?

I’m a grande pike (black) in a venti cup. Sounds kinda boring, huh? It truly is what I ALWAYS order and enjoy. But, I want to try something fun. Something new to look forward to on Friday coffee dates. Not too sweet though. Any recommendations?

Hope you have a great weekend. We don’t have many plans, and I’d like to keep it that way. Craving a low-key weekend. Extra cups of coffee in my Pj’s kinda weekend, ya feel me?

It’s Friday and I’ve got 5 things on my mind……

ONE – March //

Little things I’m looking forward to this month…..

Daylight Savings
Starting a new project
Spring cleaning + Organizing
Sunshine
Making something new
Making time to rest
Making healthy choices
Hiking a new trail

TWO – TouchRetouch Photo App //

Sherpa Sweatshirt: Abercrombie

Hey Monday! Anyone else think the Monday after Super Bowl should be a holiday? Because, hot damn, I’m tired. And I was in bed by 8pm. Technically I didn’t really even watch the Super Bowl. Really, I was just there for the food + booze + commercials. I bought a shit-ton of pool squares and didn’t win a dime. Typical. Our weekend was everything I’d hoped it would be. Chill AF. But, I still accomplished all the things too.

Intentions for the Week:

sign making class with Emily Murphy Designs
work on photo editing the night before
go through Bay’s closet #growthspurt AGAIN!
donate + sale all everything before the weekend
wash my car inside + out
style a festive coffee table
deep clean bathrooms
make a cute Galentine for my main gals
watch Bay horse ride
insta story parmesan chips
hit the gym

This week on the blog: Greek Salad over hummus. Abercrombie try-on. Bay Bakes. And we’ll see what else I can come up with!

Highlights from the weekend……

We started the weekend off with face mask night. Minus Kissey (she was sick) so we’ll have to do it again soon. My Mom had never done a face mask before so we treated her. I tried to get her to let me shave her lips too, but it was a no go. Maybe next time.
