Well, we had an incredibly relaxing weekend! I pretty much kept this past weekend marked as “busy” in my planner even though we had nothing to do. We’ve had SO much going on lately that we totally needed some time to relax as a family — even if that meant blowing off things that would’ve been fun.

Friday night we chilled at home. Saturday this mama went to the gym followed by a dentist appointment [yuck!] and grocery shopping. I followed all this fun up with a run [I was a bit ‘fitness inspired’ this weekend].

After everyone had napped (me included!) we headed to the apple orchard. We didn’t apple-pick, but we did apple-taste! And shopped for some honeycrisps. They were delicious! Then we walked around downtown Kent before heading home to settle in for another round of naps!

Saturday night was just as chill as Friday night. Everyone went to bed early and woke slept in until 8 Sunday morning! Ari & I headed to Yoga Bliss for a morning of Vinyasa — well, technically I did yoga and Ari went into the babysitting room. The rest of Sunday was spent sipping Starbucks, drinking fresh kale juice and watching TV.

This weekend was everything I needed to head into this week! I’m ready for my TWO fitness classes early in the week, a (very likely) crazy end to this week, and a half-day on Friday. I’m taking off early Friday afternoon to head to Columbus for the Pretty Muddy women’s 5k/mud run on Saturday.  I plan on spending a quick but awesome 24-hours with my sister & my mom while I’m in Columbus! 🙂

And I’ll be back home in time to run a 5-mile race on Sunday! Busy, busy!

And my mantra for the week is this:

Cause it’s time to let the love in and the light shine through! xo!
