The Weekend - Take Out!
What I'm reminiscing about...
Baseball season last year.
It is hard to believe it was cancelled for this summer, but I totally agree with the choice that the league made this year.
What I'm loving...
Their homes are gorgeous!
What we've been up to...
Making yummy treats!
These Snickerdoodle Blondie Bars have been a huge hit!
Celebrating X's teacher and her family with a fun class baby shower!
We just finished up home schooling last week, which means school is officially out for the summer!
And I have a 3rd grader now! What?!?!
After attending a virtual birthday party for one of his friends this weekend, I think X may want any party he has in the future to be the same! lol!
And we finally got out of the house (and our town) for a little bit on Sunday for a cookout at my dad's house.
We have been doing pretty darn good at keeping our distance for the last 8-10 weeks, but finally getting to have a sense of normalcy felt SO GOOD!

What I'm dreading...
Nothing at the moment :)
What I'm working on...
My tan! lol!
I brought my computer outside with me so I could take advantage of the sun being out.
Unfortunately, I couldn't see my computer screen since the sun was so bright.
I tried to just sit for about 30-45 minutes, but then my mind starts going about what other things I need to get done :/
I'm also using my favorite sunless tanner to help me get that glow that I crave :)

What I'm excited about...
Vacation!
While we don't go until July, my mind is focused on all things sun, sand and surf!
Of all years we are going somewhere new and I'm a little nervous.
So give me all the recs for going to the Outer Banks please!
We are staying in the Rodanthe/Waves area.
I am hoping things will have calmed down a bit by the time we go and more restaurants and such will be open for us to enjoy.

What I'm watching/reading...
This was a good TV month!
Mic and I finished watching Grimm earlier this month...loved it!
I just binge watched Sweet Magnolias this weekend and it was SO GOOD!!

I have tried to get into the Outer Banks, but it is such a struggle :(
Mic just watched Carnival Row and he really liked it :)
And right before I started typing this post we finally found another show to watch.
We are giving Mr. Robot a shot.
Have you watched it?
And now that school is out I am hoping I can finally catch up on some blog reading :)
What I'm listening to...
X play Fortnite :/
A few newer songs,
but for the most part I am throwing it back to all my favorites from last summer.
What I'm wearing...
All the sandals!
Now that the rain has stopped and the temps are feeling like summer, it is sandal season for me!
I recently picked up these Birk dupes from Amazon and they are so good!
X and I have been wearing our Covid-19 commemorative tie dye tees we made together :)
And I found some cute Amazon & Old Navy pieces that will be perfect for the summer!
What I'm doing this weekend...
With baseball and soccer seasons cancelled for X this year, we have 0 plans!
For the first time in my life I am actually enjoying having no plans.
I know it will all change sooner than later, so I am soaking it up while I can!
What I'm looking forward to next month...
The only thing on the agenda for the month of June is celebrating my niece turn 4 years old!
What else is new...
In the final zoom call for X's class his teacher put together a PowerPoint with all the positive characteristics that the kids said about each other.
I typically don't brag on my child, because that isn't the type of person I am.
But I couldn't help smiling from ear to ear when I read the words X's classmates said about him.
And that is it for the month of May!
Hope you all have a great day!
XOXO ~ Vanessa
Happy Wednesday! I am so happy I decided to check out your blog this AM. I have had my eye on those birk dupes myself! Did they fit true to size?? I feel like I am always in between 7 and 7.5 so not sure which size to get!!! How do you like the self tanner? I keep seeing it pop up everywhere :)

I would love to work on my computer outside but sadly our WiFi doesn't reach all that far out of our house. Otherwise, I'd be out there all the time these days!
ReplyDeleteI love bringing my computer outside but I sit under the patio so I can see the screen and don't burn (as I burn so fast in the sun). That vacation looks amazing. I have always wanted to visit the outer banks but we have family in the southern part of the state and I always feel lie if I'm going to plan a North Carolina vacation I need to go there to see them.. not say 4 hours away. I hope you have a really wonderful time!!
ReplyDeleteI have had Sweet Magnolias on my list to watch so it's good to hear you've enjoyed watching it! Jealous you're off on a vacation soon - hope you have a wonderful time!
