Sometimes you just need a Saturday

For those that know me well, know that I love being home.

I love cooking at home, reading at home, being with Chad at home... 

I am a true homebody and I know this about myself.

Lately, we have been going, going, going.

People have been over, errands have been run, pig parades and pancakes have happened at school

and good times have been had by all.

But I can feel myself longing, needing, yearning for a day at home.

So, I told myself this Saturday was it. :)

And already I feel better.

I woke up and made coffee just so I could drink from my new mug. 

In my opinion, pretty mugs make any beverage taste better, don't you agree?

This morning I actually enjoyed my coffee instead of gulping it down as my kids are walking in the room, impatiently waiting for the caffeine to kick in.

I made my weeks whole of tea in my new tea kettle.

Strawberry summer :)

I fill up the tea in water bottles and chill them for my lunch.

I am lovin' my new kettle and how fast it boils water!

I spent extra time with Georgia, getting dog cuddles.

Chad bathed her yesterday so she smells fresh and is nice and pouffy.

Chad and I lounged around until the last possible minute and it was heaven, my friends.

Just sitting, not hurrying or remembering to tell each other important forgotten conversations, 

just sitting... enjoying the moment. 

Another favorite of stay at home Saturdays is I always cook breakfast.

This morning it was the Pioneer Woman's french toast.

Very yummy! I didn't soak the bread over night and it was still good.

You can find the recipe Here

yes, we ate the whole pan.

I am happy with myself that I have realized some of my weaknesses and what fixes them.

I am a person who loves friends, going out, working hard at school but I have a limit. And I have found that my limit is usually met before others but that's ok.  Because when I start getting that feeling, the one in my stomach, that means: it is all becoming too much, I know a Saturday at home with coffee, Georgia, and Chad will soothe all feelings.

Sometimes you just a need a Saturday...
