I spent much of this weekend cleaning, doing laundry, ironing, figuring out my husband's homework, and making lists of what we'll need once we move into our new place. Fortunately, I was able to get everything under control before Sunday, which is when my niece came to visit. We spent time together all of Sunday, and we even did some baking. It was a nice and relaxing end to my otherwise busy weekend. Here are the things that made my weekend great...
On Saturday, I made a list of what we'll need for our new place, but the best part was picking colors for the walls! I love color!
My niece and I watched two movies--one of which was Tangled. I hadn't seen it yet (can you believe it?), but I'm glad I finally did. It was definitely entertaining.
Okay so one of my guilty pleasures is going to Target and browsing their clothes and home items, but this weekend, I didn't! If I make a shopping list for Target, I usually end up buying a million other things that I don't need, but I stuck to my list this time! If you have an addiction to buying too much stuff from Target like I do, then you know this is a big deal; therefore, I felt it deserved a spot on this post.
Among the items on my shopping list were a few ingredients for these chocolate chip & mint cookies. My best friend, who is amazing at baking all sorts of goodies, came over and baked these cookies with my niece and me. They're super chocolatey and yummy!
Lastly, my dog Carolina has made it onto the blog once again (sleeping once again) because she has kept me company not only this weekend--but the whole week since Joe has been gone. She has been sleeping at my feet each night and kept me nice and warm. *On a side note, she has also managed to chew 4 holes in my blanket, but I'll overlook them until Joe is home.*
That was my weekend... How was yours?
