Reveling in Routine

After being out of town during the week for the past two weeks, I'm totally loving getting back into my normal "routine" this weekend. I slept in until 9am both mornings (unheard of in this household!) spent Saturday teaching and practicing yoga, went out for a delightful dinner with Ben last night where we dined outside (my favorite!) and sipped on some vino out of a carafe (Ben's favorite!), and then spent this morning cleaning "house" and doing laundry. Nothing spectacular? I know. But, sometimes just getting organized and back into normal life is all a girl needs to feel centered and settled once again...

A few images from my weekend are below:

Ben seriously loves carafes. No idea why, but he'll spend more money on a carafe of wine than he would on a bottle...so I had to document the moment, or course :)

Just a small portion of the piles of laundry we did this morning...

My other weekend treats? Eating ice cream out of the carton while watching Country Strong and an afternoon trip to the pool (with planner and notepad in hand so that I could get just a *bit* of work done while I relaxed)...

Our personalized ice cream containers. Try to guess which one you think is mine and which one is Ben's...hehe :)

Have I mentioned that I'm going to miss our pool when we move?

No time like the weekend to inject a little balance back into your life. How are you spending your Sunday afternoon? Hopefully you're finding a way to settle back into your routine, or even better, break out of it for a little fun, self care, or time for relaxation :)

Namaste!
