1. Last night was a perfect night for sitting out on the deck once the kiddos were in bed. So I set up shop with my laptop and multitasked a bit on this blog post and a book party while chatting with Jay (let’s see how many grammatical errors are in this post now…).
2. I actually went two nights in row this week (Wednesday and Thursday) without drinking any wine or cider. It’s’ been BAD so I figured a couple of days away couldn’t hurt. Today is a different story…it’s Friday ; )
3. So Jay and I had a fun little Thursday yesterday. We both took the day off from work and headed to the outlets in Lee, MA!
We had a few stores that we wanted to hit up (all of our usuals!) and I really hadn’t planned on getting much for myself.
4. Famous last words…
5. Jay and I both made out like bandits in the GAP outlet.
6. In fact, we made out SUPER well everywhere we went. Love a good bargain!
7. We had only planned on shopping for a little while but, of course, we went longer than we realized. So our initial plans of shopping quick and then going out for lunch turned into shopping, a quick lunch at the food court, and then more shopping. Thankfully, they did have a spot in there that made a pretty good salad!
8. If you haven’t already seen my Instagram story from yesterday evening with Lucas and Alex in their police car, you must. I’m only a little bit obsessed with my children. <3
9. Speaking of children…working from home with one of them in particular is always an adventure. For one, I basically can’t sit in my chair to work, unless I want to have someone whining to get up with me and wanting to try and catapult him off the back of it. So I basically kneel at my desk while working most days…my poor knees. I need to start wearing more cushioned sweats or something.
10. Oh, and when I AM working at the desk? More often than not, I almost always have somebody watching me…
Such a character.
11. I’ve been stuck on this fun fact for at least 10 minutes now, and I just don’t think I have the brain power currently to keep going. My mind is currently stuck on the cookie dough ice cream that is sitting in my freezer calling my name. ; )
Soooo, with that, I’m calling it a night! I hope you all have a FABULOUS Friday and a wonderful weekend ahead! <3

ThredUp ALL THE WAY! Have you ever tried it? I’ve ordered from them three times so far, and I am HOOKED.
Kaitlyn @ Powered by Sass says
Playing hooky with your honey AND scoring a bunch of good deals? Now that’s what I call a day! Also, you’ve inspired me to take my evening blogging adventures to our balcony! I might even throw a glass of wine in there for good measure. ;)

Shaqueefa says
Hi mal! I tried your chili and it was good
Trisha says
I have been to MA exactly one time and totally hit up that exact outlet mall. My husband and I desperately need one of these shopping days! He is legitimately (regularly) wearing clothes he bought for a vacation we took EIGHT years ago. They are neither in style, nor in good shape. It just seems like any time we try to do any shopping for ourselves, it turns into buying more for the kids or the house. #adultingsucks
Trisha says
I meant to say that VERY outlet mall, but apparently I just really like the word exact today. ;)
Shaqueefa says
Exactly!
Katie @ Live Half Full says
Working from home with two kids is impressive! I struggle on days with one!
Shaqueefa says
Hoohoohoo I struggle with my animals! And I don’t even own any!
Melissa says
Sitting outside on the deck looks so relaxing! One of my goals if I eventually own my own house is to have a beautiful outdoor area; it would be ideal this time of year!
Shaqueefa says
LOL! Courntney 2.0!
Sarah @ Sweet Miles says
LOVE a good outlet adventure! And yessss mama, working from home is not for the faint of heart!
