My staycation was heaven and I don't care if you judge that statement!!


 Major apologies...I have been MIA from the blog world.
However, I have the best reason under the sun, moon, and stars.
I was on a STAY CATION!  Yeah, no hubs, no kids for 1 whole week.

I couldn't tell you cuz that just wouldn't have been smart...you know, 
hey everyone I am home alone in a big house with no big, strong husband to protect me.

The thing is, I thought I would have blogged a TON, and gotten oodles of things done, but I didn't!

I reveled in the quiet, the cleanliness, and the amount of nothing kid-like to do.

 After I dropped the whole clan at the airport, 
I went home and slept till 9:30! 
Seriously, if you have kids... your mouth is hanging open, and you
are struggling to remember the last time you slept that late,
and saw your house stay clean for 7 days straight.


Okay, so this is what I DID do!

1.Lots of lunches with girlfriends.
2.Shopping and never having to check the clock.
3.Prosecco at 2:30 in the afternoon, cuz I could.

4.Sleepovers with friends at my house.


5.I worked on my chair that I mentioned here.

And when it's finished, I will share how I did it, if I love it,
and that's a big IF.


6. Oh, and one more thing...breakfast at a restaurant, a hot breakfast....
with no kids interrupting my coffee and my conversation.

So...where was the whole fam damily?
In Washington state, visiting Branmuffin's family and taking a pic of all 7 grand kids.


Cuties, huh?

And then they came home...super late on Saturday night.
Now, my mother in law is gonna be here for 2 weeks.

She promises us lots of babysitting for date nights and 
taking awesome pics with her new camera!
Can't wait for the help and maybe I will do some fashion posts
with my new Fall fashion items!

"MY GRANDBABIES ARE THE CUTEST"
It was so much fun taking pictures of all the kiddos.... Memories that I will cherish for ever.

So exciting- except where was I for the sleepover? lol. J/K... here with my own kiddos ;) Glad you got some R&R and a chance to recharge! Look forward to seeing you (hopefully) Wednesday!

Suzanne! that sounds heavenly!!!! So jealous. I had 1.5 days of staycation in August. It was fantastic! I wished it could have been L O N G E R!!! I did get the whole house clean (which is a feat in of itself! I usually have 1 level clean at a time!) so we could come home from our WI vacation to a nice clean house and everyone had clean sheets. Oh, how productive we could be if we had staycations more often!

So happy you had a nice, relaxing staycation! I am mega jealous! You totally deserved it though :)
