Blog-tember Challenge: Day 11

/

It’s FRIDAY!!!!! or FRI-YAY!!!!!

I really love that today’s Blog-tember challenge is to sort of imagine that it’s Friday night and I decide to stay in.  What do I/we do?

Friday nightY’all.  In the real life that I’m living, this is EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT!!!!!

We literally stay home almost every Friday night…so I don’t really have to think too hard on this blog post!

I’m married.  My hubs and I work full time outside of our home.  AND WE HAVE 2 KIDS!!!! {under 2.5 yrs old!!}.

There are no cocktail hours.

No quiet dinners for 2.

No movie date nights.

No dancing until the wee hours of the morning!

I’ve posted about this before…do you recall?  We almost ALWAYS stay in on Friday night!!!  But there is the occasional trip to the zoo or other fun thing that we may plan for…

On Friday nights, our kids usually go to bed a little bit earlier/easier.

What do we do?  We pour ourselves a drink – him an old-fashioned or other “manly” cocktail.  Me, a mimosa or glass of wine.  We plop down on the couch or in our comfy chairs – depends on if we want to cuddle or not {ha!}.  Usually a magazine or two is read, while Andrew flips the channels for some intriguing entertainment…brain-teasers anyone?  Or perhaps, “Shark Tank”?

Sounds fabulous, doesn’t it?!  Anyone else living this same dream?  Really though, we do love it.  It’s nice to be able to relax after a long work week, and get ready for the fun of the weekend as a family!

What would you do on a Friday night where you to stay at home?  Or are you like us, and that’s the norm?

Happy weekend friends!  Go do something fun!

    NO Sugar: Update

    This is a confession. I am a big, fat failure. I can’t do it.  CANNOT say “no” to sugar.  I mean, I can do it for a day or two.  But, my friends, I cannot go long without it. I won’t rehash the last month and all of my indulgences, but I will tell you…

  • If I Could…

    As I was laying in the bed with Reynolds tonight, I thought to myself: If I could stay here forever, snuggling with and tickling you, I would.  As a mom, the best sound in the world is the sweet voice of your child.  Giggling and belly laughing.   Saying “No, Mama no!!” and then “Gen!!”…

  • Another Day, Another Tale

    I enjoy sharing with you about the mishaps and insanity that happens among my husband and children {mainly}. Hopefully the narrations I provide here allow you to say on occasion, “THANK GOD I’m not the only one with…” or “…praise the Lord my kids aren’t the only maniacs around…” Nah…we’re all in this big happy…

    Be Mine

    I’m just going to jump right into this one. Good grief!!  Valentine’s Day is stressful.  Not because of MY Valentine.  No…for Reynolds’ Valentines!!!  For weeks I’ve been looking at and pinning V-day ideas in Pinterest…for what? I didn’t use any of those ideas!!!!!!! I guess I was doing it for everyone else?  {I have no one…

  • My First Barre3 Class

    Happy Wellness Wednesday everyone!  I did my first Barre3 class tonight and I am not lying when I tell y’all that I could barely drive home. Barely. Drive. Home. My arms are mush.  They are worthless to me.  I might as well just lie around like a blob.  I am totally freaked out about tomorrow morning…

  • Halloween – Costumes

    I think it was right after Eliza Jane was born that someone asked, “What are the kids going to be for Halloween?” I’d already mostly made up my mind, but I was pondering how I would pull it off. You see, last year, Reynolds was Woodstock from Charlie Brown.  I made his costume, head-wear and…

    1. Hey Jessica! I am a home body too, although, I’m not as much since marrying my husband! I hope you had a great Friday night {and weekend!}!

  2. That actually sounds like the perfect Friday night to me. I really like to stay in (and so does my fiance so I think that’ll work out for us once we are married!). Staying in is just so much more relaxing than going out & that’s what I need when the week is over!
