Happy Monday, friends! I am linking up with Holly and Sarah today to share about my weekend.
This weekend was heavy. The things that are happening in the U.S., specifically Minnesota, are not okay. I never intended for this space to be anything other than happy or positive, but I don't feel good about about continuing to post without at least mentioning that I do not support these things going on. I do not support ICE, and I do not support this current administration. Just please know that this is a safe space, no matter what. 💗
With the "winter storm" we were expecting, we hunkered down this weekend. As I am typing this post, we have only gotten light rain and super cold temps. My school is closed today due to the threat of icy roads, so we'll see!
Friday night, I made super easy french dip sliders- Hawaiian rolls with roast beef and provolone, served with Au Jus gravy.
Saturday morning coffee before we ran to Walmart to grab some snacks and things for the weekend and this week.
I have never seen this flavor Chobani creamer before- so good!
More coffee and laying in bed.
Caleb ran to get his work computer and came back with wine- ha!
Desperate Housewives all day- yes please! I certainly did not take the safety and warmth of my home for granted this weekend.
This doesn't look super appetizing, but I made green chile enchilada soup for dinner. It sure tasted good!
We had a little bit of ice Saturday night, but it was gone by Sunday morning.
Coffee and Friends on Sunday morning. Sometimes it's nice to be forced to slow down.....
I changed from pjs into....
fancier pjs??😂
And this was my dinner last night while watching Bad Moms. Why not?!
I hope you all had a safe and warm weekend! Here's to a new week that hopefully brings nothing but peace and goodness. 💗
That 2 piece set is so cute! We had snow all day yesterday and are supposed to get up to another 3-5 inches today so I"ll be spending another day around the house.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Wow! I wish we were getting snow instead of ice. Stay warm!
DeleteI'm so sorry about the heaviness for our country, especially for people in Minnesota. I was watching videos yesterday, and what I saw was horrific. It reminded me of WW2 with the Nazis, honestly. It's not okay.
ReplyDeleteOn a much lighter note, I'm so glad you're safely at home and warm. I am too! My school canceled on Saturday for today; I don't think we'll be able to open all week, and if we do it'll be a miracle. We have nothing but ice, at least ten inches, and won't get above freezing until a week from today. Yikes! Stay cozy, sweet friend and enjoy your binge watching and wine!
It is extremely heartbreaking.
DeleteOh goodness all week! I imagine we will go back tomorrow. Stay safe Jenn!
I have watched the news about what is happening in the US and it is awful. The current administration has a lot to answer for. It's not right and it's not OK.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cosy weekend! That creamer sounds good and well done Caleb for stocking up on the wine!
It's truly so terrible, meanwhile there are people who are turning a blind eye.
DeleteIt was a really nice and slow weekend! He sure knows the way to my heart lol.
Pericles said it best..."Just because you do not take an interest in politics, does not mean that politics won't be interested in you" indicating the dangers of apathy and the need for peaceful activism to counter tyranny. Education is power, you may want to check out the site "Political Wire" which is one of the best news aggregates/analysis sites on the internet. It's a left leaning site, however as a moderate Republican fed up with this administrations' march toward fascism, I've found it to be a valuable resource.
ReplyDeleteYes, so true. Everyone is going to be affected by this in some way. Thank you for sharing that site. I will check it out!
DeleteIt is so horrifying what's happening here - and more horrifying that so many people are excusing it. I also change into my fancier pjs when it's stormy - I always say I'm putting on my daytime pajamas. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat has frustrated me so much recently....there are people that literally do not care what is happening, and I don't get it.
DeleteDaytime pajamas...I love it!!
Oh your weekend looks like cozy bliss! Love your show choices and that popcorn looks heavenly! Glad you are warm and safe!
ReplyDeleteThank you Holly! It was super cozy, but I am glad to be out and about again!
