Weekend Edition | Candles + Organization

We were back to our normal routine, the house was much more quiet without my sister + nieces there…but we’re seeing them again this weekend!!! 🙂

We had Sofia’s private lessons Friday night then were back at the gym Saturday morning for her group lesson. I have to brag on her for a second. It was one of those proud Mom moments. She went and asked the teacher what skills she needs to hit to move up to the next level because she ultimately would like to be on the competition team. I was blown away standing next to her listening to her maturely ask about everything. Even more blown away that she has all these big goals and is ready to get after it without us pushing her. My heart was so big inside, as corny as it sounds I felt all warm and like love could explode out of me!!!

After gymnastics we dropped Sofia at her friends house for a playdate and then Mike had his friend over for the basketball games. This left me with some alone time. I LOVE ALONE TIME. Didn’t do anything exciting but was able to knock out meal planning, ordering groceries, laundry + picking up the house.

Sofia and I ran to bath and body works after I picked her up. They were/are running the $12.95 sale on the 3-wick candles!!! I love love love my luxury candles but have been craving a sweet ultra potent tropical scent from bbw (Waikiki beach coconut and Tiki Beach)! Also grabbed some new wall plug-ins, the “clean” one I have just isn’t cutting it.

Sunday Mike + Sofia grilled a beer can chicken. This was Mike’s best chicken to date. It was SO tender, like rotisserie style but had the smokey grill flavor. I’m using the leftovers in chicken shawarma wraps later this week.

Weekly Find: the Home Edit organizers at Walmart. I grabbed loads of them to tackle Sofia’s bathroom. They are so well made. We also use this clear museum gel to hold them in place so they don’t move around in her drawers – you just put little beads on the bottom of the containers.

Here’s what we’re cooking this week!

MONDAY: caprese chicken skillet (from the Well Plated cookbook)

TUESDAY: bacon, egg + cheese sandwiches w/ hash browns

WEDNESDAY: chicken shawarma wraps (from the Well Plated cookbook)

THURSDAY: turkey tacos with beans

FRIDAY: out

Hope you have a great week!
