Weekend Recap: It Was A Good One

I’ll be honest, I didn’t do much online this weekend…and it was great.

To kick off the Mother’s Day Weekend, on Friday night, I drank margaritas with a couple of girlfriends on the front porch. We chatted and laughed and had a great time. My head hurt on Saturday morning. I don’t do hangovers well any more. Damn sneaky tequila.

Saturday, the kids went to my parents and I spent the day with my husband. We saw Wolverine (loved it) and ate delicious Thai food for lunch and spent too much money at Target.

It was a good day though. I long and long for a break from the kids, then spend the whole time, wondering how they are and what they are doing and missing them. Breaks are good. Helps you to realize how much the little time suckers mean to you.

On Sunday (aka Mother’s Day), I slept in. I woke up feeling the best I had in I can’t remember when. And, since it was sunny after nearly two weeks of straight rain, we finally got to work on our square foot garden and plant the stuff we bought 2 weeks ago.

We planted tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, capsicum, strawberries (hope it’s not too late, but it might be), carrots, and radishes (upon my son’s insistence though we don’t eat them…guess we will soon though).

I had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend. My oldest son made me beautiful things both at pre-school and with my Mom on Saturday and my husband (and boys) brought me flowers. It was wonderful.

As I’ve said before, I will spending a day in June on a garden tour with my Mom for Mother’s Day, so she had other things planned for Sunday.

All in all, a great weekend. Relaxing and re-charging.

Some articles I did read, that I really liked were Treehugger’s about the largest Ikea in the southern hemisphere being built in Sydney, next to the largest Salvation Army in the southern hemisphere no less.

And, the link love article at Fiscal Fizzle about frugal Mother’s Day gift ideas, which could also translate into ideas for birthdays or Christmas. Always great to have lots of ideas of how to shower Mama with love, I say!!

I love this video that Get Rich Slowly posted and although I’m a bit late to the party, I got lost on Marc and Angel Hack Life blog. There are just so many great articles, but I did especially love the What Money Can’t Buy post…it hit a chord on this lovely Mother’s Day weekend.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend too!
