Weekending With My iPhone
Why does it seem the weekend always goes by so quickly?
I mean seriously, I blink and it’s Monday morning at 5 am and my alarm is blaring in my ear and I’m weeping for coffee.
Saturday started off as usual….early. Which I can never understand because I have to DRAG the child out of bed for school Monday through Friday, but Saturday and Sunday, he’s up with the sun.
Since we were up so early on Saturday, we headed out to Atlantic station to do a bit of shopping and walking around. We got there real early and discovered a yoga class going on in the park area. I had no idea and I’m seriously thinking of returning for it.
Finally the stores opened, we shopped and then I took my favorite little person to brunch.
We had grand plans for a playdate that afternoon, but alas, a freak first day of summer storm knocked out the power at our friend’s house and there went that. It was hard to tell who was more upset: me or Pookah. I mean, there was going to be wine and adult conversation while the children played in the pool. *cries*
But oh well, maybe next time. I still got Mommy and Son time with my Pookah Bear.
After they came back, Cdub barbecued and when Pookah crashed for his nap, I made my escape.
I went SHOPPING! YESSSSSS!
A few months ago, I won a $100 gift card from Mimi over at Lipgloss and Binky. I FINALLY used it. AND I had a coupon so it was ON! YESSSSSSSS. I was in dire need of clothes for work and otherwise so it was just a blessing to win that one. I was called home after a few hours due to the master chef running out of Charcoal. But at least i got two hours.
After gorging on barbecue, we went to Ikea to finish my office off with a new office chair. And then a late visit to the park where the mosquitoes ate me alive. They always go right for my thighs too….
How was your weekend? Did you capture any memories?

Lovely weekend and pictures! I, too, like to go to the grocery store alone. It feels heavenly when I can walk through the aisles and just take my time! My weekend was also very busy, packed with trips to the mall and family time!
Love the pictures. I need some time alone badly *sigh* I make do with nights. I love Ikea haven’t been in a while.
Great shots! I meant to get to Ikea this weekend too…Lord am I dying for a minute to myself!
looks like a great weekend
Awesome weekend! Those eggs look so yummy…at 10pm at night lol…LOVE that selfie of you and hubby–you don’t do many of those!
I’ve finally updated to iPhone 5s and I love VSCO cam. What’s your favorite filter there?
I can’t seem to find the one that gives the 70s magazine look.
My favorites are the #5 from the legacy collection f2 from the mellow collection e8 from the essence collection and hb2 from The new hype beast collection. I use a variety of those and adjust as needed. You’ll find that sometimes it isn’t just a one click thing. You might have to adjust the exposure or even the strength of the filter!
