Weekend Planning Blog Hop

I have a confession. We have no plans this weekend. I am ridiculously excited. We have been going, going, going for the last couple months and I realized this morning that we have nothing planned! Now, I'm not saying we're not going to do anything (pshhh I wish!) but this weekend is on our terms and our terms only! Wooooop!

And now I will ruin that whole first paragraph by planning out my weekend. But I'll keep it simple, and maybe there will be a lot of blue on Monday!

Weekend Planning Blog Hop

All I know is that I am so happy Carl is home this weekend. Weekends don't feel the same when he's gone, especially when I have a near death experience down the stairs! Kidding. It was hardly near death, but still annoying as I'm continuing to feel the repercussions. Anyway! Weekend Planning is here, let's get to it!

Friday:

• 1 load of laundry- cleaned, folded put away, maybe 2!
• Go to the Turkey Farm with my family
• Go to the Apple Orchard with some Mommy Friends!
• Put away all the remnants of my fall decor- boxes, totes, etc.
• Meal Plan
• Clean out/organize the pantry (part of the Express Cleaning Challenge +)

(What am I thinking? I'm not even sure there are this many hours in the day!)

Saturday:

• BIG Farmer's Market
• Maybe breakfast out by the market...maybe with my grandma?
• Clean the interiors/exteriors of the kitchen cabinets (part of the Express Cleaning Challenge +)

Sunday:

• Grocery Shop
• Nephew's Birthday Party
• Clean all the kitchen appliances- large and small (part of the Express Cleaning Challenge +)

Somewhere in There:

• Bake Something Fallish (trying again for this one!)
• Make something off Pinterest (last week's worked well, we'll try for another!)
• Paint my toes AND fingernails!

Notice how I'm tackling a little bit of the Plus portion of the Express Cleaning Challenge each day? Breaking it up into daily tasks makes it manageable and less daunting!

Now, more importantly, I want to know what YOU are doing this weekend! Let's get moving on to the hopping.

How it Works: If you haven't already, blog about your weekend plans. Maybe you have a bunch of projects you are going to tackle. Maybe you are attending party after party.

We've got a fun weekend planned ahead. I'm just getting all excited thinking about it!

Friday:
Pack :)

Saturday:
Relax

Sunday:
Relax

We are going to spend some time at the cabin this weekend. And our plans include a little more than relaxing. We'll go to the ice cream shop and get sweet treats, head out to the pier to let Gibson run as fast as his little Beagle legs will let him, climb up to the tippy top of the lighthouse and build fires in the fireplace Carl's Poppy built over 30 years ago. Roasting. Toasty. Heartwarming fires. Hopefully my recap will be full of photo love!

Weekend Planning Blog Hop

Alright ya'll, we're back in action after my vacation hiatus last week. I'm posting on Thursday night to see if that helps everyone to hop on the planning wagon. I have one helluva weekend coming up, so brace yourself, this is some massive planning. Carl is out of town for business all weekend...which makes this all the more interesting.

Friday:

• Attempt to deep clean floors
• Dust & Vacuum Living/Dining Room
• Bring up fall totes from basement
• Start fall decor...with a very mobile 8 month old roaming the house
• Make pot roast in the crock pot (mostly to minimize the cooking I have to do Fri/Sat while I've got solo parental duties)
• Take Gibson to the vet
• Meal Plan
  

Saturday:

• Check out a Mom2Mom Sale
• Head to the BIG Famer's Market with my bestest friend
• Bridesmaid/Bridal Dress shopping with bestest friend & Cam :/

Sunday:

• Take Gibson to the groomer
• Possibly go to my local Farmer's Market
• Make some sort of fabulous dinner to welcome Carl home :)
• Work on my newest decorating project, more info to come soon!

Weekend Planning Blog Hop

First of all, I've had some new followers this week, so if you are new, Welcome!! Welcome to the oldies too :) I've got a very shortened version of Weekend Planning here, you'll see why in just a moment.

Friday:
4 Loads of Laundry (I let it build up for a reason)
Finish cleaning guest room
Pack Cam
Pack Molly
Help Pack Carl
Make dinner

Saturday:
Surface clean the house
Organize the house for house sitters...
Leave for DISNEY!

Yep, we're off on vacation. We set up Gibson's favorite pet sitters and we're out of here! I'll be sure to go over this post about prepping for vacation....but I should probably update it for what to take when you have a baby! I have a few guest posters I'll be featuring next week, so don't worry, you can still get you Happy House readin' fix! I'll have lots to post about, myself, when we get back, including a recap on how our first big vacation goes with Mr. Cam.

Don't let my shortened version keep you from planning out your weekend. As always, Weekend Planning is a Blog Hop. If you are new, read below to see how it works. Veterans- get to linking!


How it Works: If you haven't already, blog about your weekend plans. Maybe you have a bunch of projects you are going to tackle. Maybe you are attending party after party. Or perhaps you are laying low. Whatever it is, share it on your blog! Try to include at least one task to accomplish as that is the Happy House way ;) Feel free to use the "Weekend Planning" button in your post, the code is on the bottom right hand side of the blog.

Then, come back to this blog and link up your post in the link collection at the bottom of this entry.

Weekend Planning: It's a Blog Hop!

Hey there Weekend Planning! Haven't seen you in awhile. Maybe that's a good thing seeing as the agenda for many of the last weekends in the past 6 months was: survive. OK, maybe it wasn't that bad.

To get back in the swing of things, I thought we could try a Blog Hop for Weekend Planning. I've paired up with Gia of A Life in Progress to get the hopping started. Before we get to the details on that, I'll give you my Weekend Planning.
Friday:

• Meal Plan- Include at least 2 new meals for next week
• Write out my grocery list, and organize corresponding coupons
• Dust & Vacuum Living Room & Dining Room
• Make Dinner: Fried Buttermilk Chicken Salad

Saturday:

• Deep clean our hardwood floors (My cleaner was visiting my in-laws for awhile, but it's back home and my floors are in rough shape!)
• Make Dinner: Chicken Fajitas & Grilled Corn on the Cob
• Celebrate our 3rd Anniversary- going out for dessert!

Sunday:

• Grocery Shopping
• Farmer's Market Trip
• Make something extra in the kitchen...TBD with the meal plan

Weekend Goals

I'm trying to maintain the house throughout the week so our weekends are more enjoyable, but there are still not enough hours in the day, er week? This weekend, I just have a few tasks I want to do.

1. Make potato salad for tonight (we're having a few friends over tonight for a BBQ)
2. Dust our room- seriously where does all this dust come from??
3. Do one load of laundry
4. Organize/Clean the basement (yeah...this one is kind of big. Perhaps I should take some photos)

So that's it, but it's still quite the list. Time to get busy! What are you weekend goals? Comment on Facebook or link if you blogged about it!
