Good morning!
Just a quick post to tell you all about my fun weekend…
My sweet grandparents from St. Louis came into town for a visit at the beginning of last week, and I got to spend some quality time chatting the day away on Saturday and Monday. Monday was Columbus Day, so the girls were out of school, which thankfully gave us an extra day of visiting before my grandparents had to pack up and head back home.
I am hoping we’ll be able to make a trip up there next summer, I miss them so much!
Sunday was a day I spent with just my girls. The weather was wet and dreary, so we headed out to the mall to stretch our legs and get out of the house. We started with a stop at Panera Bread for lunch-
I know it doesn’t look like much, but the bread bowl with bistro french onion soup= awesome. Mer’s autumn squash soup was also delicious, but a bit more of a dessert than a meal. Colette ordered the chicken noodle, which was literally gone 2 minutes after we sat down. Yum-my!
We hopped over to Dillards and walked around the home department, oohing and ahhhing over the Christmas decor and fun gifts. I loved the Mudpie engraved cheese and butter gift sets. They would make the cutest house warming gifts!
Not to mention, the basket they were in, was too cute.
I also loved all of the blue and white cottage style dishware. So pretty.
All in all, it was a fun weekend with the family. Next weekend will be even busier, but I’ll leave it at that for now. OK, I’ll give you a hint, there will be wedding bells… 😉
Workout: As for this morning, I started off the day with a Shred workout, (level 1) courtesy of Jillian Michaels. I wanted something fast and full body, and that certainly did the trick. I upped my hand weights to 5 lbs this time, and boy was I struggling on the arm workout. Ouch!
Breakfast: After that I served myself some over easy eggs and a slice of caramel apple bread. If you haven’t tried this seasonal bread(I bought it at Target), you are missing out on some serious awesomeness. Sooo good.
Alright, that about wraps it up for this girl. I have some major grocery shopping to do.
Question:
- What did you do over the holiday weekend?
Have a great Tuesday!

Caramel apple bread. wow. sounds like heaven on a plate! Your weekend sounds great!! I’ve been training for my job at a restaurant. Long, long days..uuugh.
Since when is Columbus day a thing?? I never got off when I was in school, and I certainly don’t get off now that I work. Sounds like a great excuse to chill in the middle of October though!
