The weekends, for me, have notoriously been a time to reconnect and recharge. Reconnect with family and friends, and recharge my battery from a long week of work. Both “R’s” typically take shape in differing forms from weekend to weekend, but they are common thread, one that I feel is necessary to keep myself going. So often I find myself caught up in “what am I going to do next,” that I forget that the weekend is essentially a time to abandon that methodical way of thinking! It’s a time to create that balance, to reset the equilibrium. This past weekend involved reconnecting with out of town family members, a lazy saturday morning, and a perfectly indulgent date night with the hubby! How did you reconnect and recharge this weekend?

{Seeing my little nephew and rocking him to sleep in my arms after his Uncle wore him out! Aren’t those little Sperry’s the cutest? I also couldn’t resist these red beauties (similar)!}

{Date night with the hubby at Cucina Enoteca… delicious cocktails, food, and amazing company}
