Life can be hard and overwhelming and challenging and confusing and heartbreaking and exhilarating. And sometimes it can be all of these things at once.
But it’s pretty darn beautiful, too. Most of the time. And this weekend I was reminded of just that. And we didn’t do anything much to note. We didn’t go on adventures. We didn’t fill up our schedules. We didn’t even really leave the house except for one time. And you know what? It was great. And we had fun. And I think that’s kind of what life is all about, right? Making the most out of our lives, whatever they may be. Making the most out of our situations. Making the most of every single chapter of life when we are there. Because you can’t wait for tomorrow, you can’t wait for a different circumstance or for something to change. You must be the change. And you just gotta do what you want to do when and where you can do it, because who knows when you’ll be able to do it again? And who’s to say if there ever is a “perfect” moment for anything, really?
So all this to say, this weekend was practically non-eventful. And I absolutely loved every minute of it.

That is an absolutely precious pic of you two :)
Sometimes those are the best kinds of weekends! Glad you enjoyed some down time!
Amen, sister!

Those weekends are my favorite, of course when they are spent with The Boyfriend, then they are even better :)
Mine too! :)

I’m so glad it was such a wonderful happy weekend for you guys. Unlike you, I was reminded hard core this weekend about how challenging life can be and instead of dwelling on the uglyness of the situation and the people involved I’m (trying to) choosing to embrace the happy and constant goodness the Lord is giving me. So let’s pray for a quiet happy non event filled week :)
Aww I’m so sorry to hear you had a tough weekend. Hang in there, girl, and good for you trying to embrace the happy! It’s so hard but so good for the soul to do that! Thinking of you and praying for peace and joy <3

Thanks so much sweet friend :)
Love this. Sometimes those low key weekends are JUST what we need. And when you have the perfect people/person to share it with, it’s really pretty great. xo
Amen to that, Ashley! It’s all about the people you surround yourself with :)

So very true. What an adorably picture of you and your lil babe :)
Aw thank you Amanda!! :)

Love Low key weekends! It’s such great reminder to just slow down and enjoy the people that matter most rather than all the things to do or that need to get done :-)
Sometimes a break from all of the business is just what the doctor ordered! :) It felt good, that’s for sure!

Having a weekend where you can just unwind and have no plans is really the best right? Beautiful blog! Found through a pinterest fashion post and I love it! xoxoxo
Hi Amanda! I’m so glad you found my blog! :)

I found you on Instagram shortly after becoming pregnant and have been a follower ever since. My son is now six weeks and I still can’t find time to keep with the house cleaning let alone start working out. I’m always holding him or feeding him which obviously I have no complaints about. How do you do it all? You should start an advice column. Supermom! Any tips?
Hi Meaghan! I’m so happy to hear that you are following along! :) Makes my day! Haha you are so sweet, but I am no Supermom! ;) Your son is still such a tiny babe- when Sam was a newborn, I did NOT get much done! My advice for you now is to just enjoy him this tiny (as much as possible- I know it gets frustrating/boring, but it does go by quickly!) and don’t worry about the housework or working out yet. You’ll have time for that later! I just work with what I have. I do my workouts when he’s napping- which means, yes, sometimes they get cut short. I clean the house when I have the time. Again, usually when he’s napping. But at this point for you, your baby is still so new and probably is taking lots of cat naps throughout the day, mostly ON you, right? That’s how Sam was. In which case, just cuddle him and soak it all up. :) But you definitely gave me an idea for a post! So thank you! I hope I helped a little. Feel free to email me if you ever have questions!!

Non eventful is my new fave.
Amen amen amen!
