Good Monday morning, my friends! Here we are, entering the second week of March. When I was younger, March always seemed insufferably long and uneventful. Sometimes wintery, other times springlike. Now, March flies by just as every other month. I remember something my dear father used to say, "The older you get, the faster it goes!" I get it now!
This past weekend, Steve and I took a little trip to the beach. Just the two of us. It was really nice, and I highly recommend it, especially if you sometimes forget that you are not only Mom and Dad but also people who enjoy spending time together. We mainly did nothing. My favorite, right? We ordered takeout and watched movies. We went out to lunch and rode around. He took a walk, and I took a nap. And we texted all our people who were spending time together back home.
Steve made sure I had my coffee...
I discovered that shrimp tacos with pico are the best thing ever...
And the kids were excited for Peyton to finally get her Shamrock Shake!
Now we are home, back where we belong. I have my laundry sorted and my grocery list made. Flynn and I will homeschool, and I will find something to throw together for dinner. These are my happy things. It is also Monday, which means The Bachelor, but my friend Heather is coming to watch it with me tomorrow night, so I am skipping tonight.
How was your weekend? Any dinner plans for tonight?
I will be around visiting your blogs today too.
Thanks for visiting me here.
I am always thankful you do!
Billie Jo
I'm glad you enjoyed a weekend away. It sounds lovely. It is always nice to be back home though. Have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteYour little getaway sounds just perfect and your meals look yummy too.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a dream to get away.
ReplyDeleteI love that your hubby made sure you had your coffee - now THATS love!
We had made plans to go camping at the Oregon coast this summer but it seems that all of our favorite campsites there are full. We haven't been to the coast in about 6 years and it's to the point that we almost NEED it. We get so revived by the sounds and smells there. It doesn't help that we're now in Nebraska and nowhere cose to the beach!
ReplyDeleteLove your coffee photos. Dennis does the same for me, except it's with my once a day die pepsi/coke. Our daughter-in-law's father has a saying, "Life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes."
Enjoy your school!
Blessess and hugs,
Betsy
How wonderful that you were able to take a little weekend getaway with your husband. I'm looking forward to our anniversary trip in August. As well as going with my youngest for a Shamrock shake but we wait until St. Patrick's day as it's our tradition. Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteHi Billie Jo~ Sounds like you and Steve had a great time! Sometimes doing nothing together is the perfect thing to do. I always love seeing photos of your sweet kids, they always look so happy to be spending time together... and a shamrock shake sounds delicious! Getting away and then coming back home always makes me appreciate the gentle motion of an everyday life. Have a wonderful week! Hugs, Barb
ReplyDeleteA trip to the beach sounds wonderful! We are having such warm weather that we should do a little day trip. Enjoy your Monday! I love Mondays...getting things in order around the house!
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely, I just wish I could go to the Oregon coast one more time with Joel.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time spent with Steve. Just a short trip makes all the difference in the world. The food looks delicious. I smiled when you said, "we mainly did nothing. My favorite, right?" Sounds like me. And I was glad to know you like the snow as much as me too! What a beautiful sunset/sunrise photo. And a happy photo of all the kids. I have to say that your pictures are so charming, and I love to see the unique photos that you show of your coffee cups each week. You have the most delightful cups.

Hello my Lovely!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a wonderful weekend. And it is important to just get that one on one time together. Love it! And it looks like your kiddos all held down the fort at home just great. ;)
It was a relaxing weekend here too. And tonight we're going to get creative somehow with leftover pork chops from last night. Lol And probably try to beat Matt in some cribbage. I have been working on fasting more for Lent - so I'll be very hungry for din din. Lol Blessings on your week ahead. xo
LOVE those Shamrock Shake faces! And you're so right; how can it be March already? Glad you got a little get-away - always good for the soul.. Great to drop by and see what you're up to, enjoy the week, Mary
ReplyDeleteA weekend getaway as a couple is always the best thing. You're right about March and also about how quickly these months are going by. I really wish I could homeschool my kids but that's something my husband doesn't agree with me on. Ugh. I envy you!!! Have a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteI love this! A weekend away, just relaxing with your hubby is so nice, and good for you too.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than a weekend away! Looks like you have a wonderful time! So glad you had a chance to relax & enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSo nice that you went to the beach for some couple time. That pic of all your kids is classic!
ReplyDeleteHi Billie Jo! A couples getaway for mom and dad is essential! So glad you and your sweetheart could spend some time at the beach - just you two! Have a great week. See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the beach is calling my name🏖 I can’t believe how fast time is flying. I really wish it would slow down. Enjoy your day dear friend, hugs 🤗
ReplyDeleteI've never had a fish or shrimp taco. I am always thinking I will try them but then I chicken out.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to go to the beach together! Shrimp tacos are delicious! Why could Peyton not have a Shamrock shake before that moment?
ReplyDeleteI love little weekends away like that! And your Monday sounds perfect :) I would love to talk about the Bachelor with you over some coffee :) Let me know who your pick is for this season. I'm going for Gabbi :) Or Kaity :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh - the beach sounds wonderful!! Definitely on my list!! Hope your week is going well!
