Weekend Vibes: From Cozy Soups to Halloween Fun – A Family’s Adventure
Ever feel like you’re living in two seasons at once? That’s exactly how my weekend went! While I was busy channeling fall vibes in the kitchen, whipping up a hearty kale, sausage, and potato soup simmered in rich bone broth, the Texas sun reminded me it’s still very much summer. But here’s where it gets interesting—we didn’t let that stop us! We dove right into a swim session, because why not embrace the best of both worlds?
Saturday brought a mix of strategy and spontaneity. With College GameDay playing in the background, we spent the day outdoors, soaking up the sunshine. And yes, we even turned tic-tac-toe into a full-blown strategy session with Saylor—because who says you can’t outsmart X’s and O’s? And this is the part most people miss—Briggs, our little adventurer, earned himself a ‘battle scar’ after a minor mishap. Let’s just say it’s the cutest reminder of a weekend well-lived.
Sunday was all about prep and play. I tackled meal prep for the week, starting with a big, hearty breakfast to fuel the chaos. Meanwhile, The Plumber (aka my husband) took the kids on a Lowe’s adventure. Their outfit choices? Let’s just say they’re fashion icons in the making—seriously, who knew hardware stores could double as runways? But here’s where it gets controversial—is it just me, or do kids always manage to outshine us in the style department? Let me know in the comments!
The weekend wrapped up with the ultimate Halloween party, hosted by our amazing friends. We danced, laughed, and stayed until bedtime, making memories that’ll last until next year’s spooky season. Now, here’s a thought to leave you with: In a world that’s always rushing forward, isn’t it the little moments—like a soup simmering on the stove or a tic-tac-toe game with your kid—that truly make life rich? What’s one small moment from your weekend that you’re holding onto? Share below—I’d love to hear!
