my weekend in photos

Posted in Random by Kendra G.

the ucf football team visited the kids’ school on friday. kenley talked about it all week long. judging by the photo that a friend sent to me, it looked like she had a great time!

just a friday night walk around the block in our pjs.

katie and i got in six miles on saturday morning and we were done before 7am. it sure felt good.

after my run, we took a two mile bike ride while greg ran. it probably wasn’t the best idea considering the high was 99 degrees on saturday.

best buds…when they want to be.

i ordered the sticker labels for my oils, which prompted me to clean out two of our junk drawers this weekend. i’m obsessed.

seriously? already?

three of the boys in crosby’s class came over today to swim. they sure are fun to watch together. crosby was so excited to see them outside of school, he wasn’t sure what to do.

today marked kenley’s first day diving into the pool from the side!

she loved it!

they sure are cute.

we didn’t have many plans this weekend which was so nice. i was very productive around the house and did a lot of grading for class.

how was your weekend?

Taylor does it again. Her latest music video has an all-star cast and it’s pretty much amazing.

My current favorite oil blend is the “wake up” blend. It is perfect for the afternoon when I could really go for a coffee to help make it through the rest of the day.

12 drops of orange
12 drops of peppermint
2/3 full of grape seed oil

This combo is also amazing in the diffuser. Try it!

I love photography. If there was more time in the day, I would definitely learn more about it and practice more often. One of my absolute favorite bloggers is Ashley Ann (I know I’ve mentioned this before) and I really loved this post this week. It captures the small things that could easily have been overlooked on a busy Easter Sunday.

Baseball is back and we are excited in the Gilbertson household. This week I stumbled upon Bleacher Creatures, specifically the Matt Harvey Bleacher Creature. How adorable? I definitely think C-man needs one of these.

You know it’s the little things when you get excited about organic fractionated coconut oil. Fractionated coconut oil does not harden like regular coconut oil does and I’m so excited to use it as a carrier oil with my essential oils. I’m going to be mixing up some concoctions this weekend.

2015 Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament

March Madness is right around the corner and the B1G Tournament well underway. The Hoosiers played last night and live to see another day! They will play Maryland tonight at 6:30pm! This is getting me very excited for the nonstop basketball watching that will be happening next week.

I attended my third Meet + Make last night hosted by Sarah Hearts at West Elm. We painted a set of glassware, had delicious treats, chatted with friends, and made a wish list of everything I want from West Elm (which is basically the entire store).

I had been thinking about jumping on the essential oils bandwagon for a while. After Crosby’s last ear infection, I decided to take the plunge. I ordered the Young Living starter kit and it arrived this week! I will admit that I am a little overwhelmed at all of the options and possibilities but I am so excited to learn more and incorporate the oils into our lives. I’m sure I’ll be sharing my favorites soon enough!
