Weekending | Taking it Easy


Happy Monday friends!! I got my wish from Friday – a truly laid back and relaxing two days…sadly that makes for a rather uneventful weekend, but quite productive…including booking a trip of a lifetime, but more on that later! 



THE WEEKEND LOW DOWN 


//It should come as no surprise that Friday night was a sushi date and movie kind of night! We actually ended up watching a movie from a little while ago,Mr. Brooks. It’s with Kevin Costner & Demi Moore – a thriller and a bit dark, but really good! 


// Can’t tell you the last time I worked out on a weekend, but it felt good to go to a great spin class to start my Saturday


//Stepped up our dinner game with this mussels and linguine dinner. I can’t say we followed an actual recipe, but I purchased the mussels from Trader Joe’s and we followed the directions to a T and then added some linguine and  made our own garlic bread and voila – perfect dinner for a weekend. We felt so fancy! 


//Took my own advice and updated my blog footer – really easy and followedthis tutorial


//Spent Sunday getting started on holiday shopping! We have so many great local stores with so many unique gifts – I’m really excited to put these together! Also made a stop into TJ Maxx and as per usual their stationary/home office section was amazing! Bought some new goodies! 


//We booked a trip!! We’re heading to Dubai & India next year! One of our good friends is getting married in India and we’re making a great vacation out of it and stopping in Dubai on the way back! I’m excited and also a bit nervous…but I have time to get ready for 18 hours on a plane! 




Hope you have a great start to your week! Link up below to share your weekends with us!

    Wow that trip sounds amazing!!! I've always been curious about Dubai but need a "reason" to go there like you have since you'll be so close. Have you seen the funny new Emirates Airlines commercial with Jennifer Aniston!? So funny and looks like those 18 hours will be flying in style if that's what you're flying on?

    What a great trip! India sounds like so much fun. I'll have to look at some vacations to see if I want to explore somewhere new.

    Yay for all of the things! That stationary is so cute, I miss TJ MAXX so much. You can do 18 hours in the air, you just need wine, a sleep aide and a good book. We have to do almost 24 hours every time we go home.

    I'm your 100th comment! haha! Hubs and I were just starting to get our Christmas lists together. We NEVER shop this early, but with a baby coming that month, we decided we should start now to have everything done and ready before Dec hits! And your linguine looks FAB. Where was my invite?!

    I really need to get on the shopping early this year. What part of India are you going to? My hubby used to travel there all the time for work. Dubai should be cool to see as well!
