Marvelous Monday

Hello, hello! Happy Monday to you all. I hope you had a great weekend!

Smile

I took a little break from blogging this weekend because I had so much to do. I didn’t even make a dent in everything I had to do though, ah!

I mentioned in my last post that I was volunteering at my local homeless shelter. That’s exactly what I did most of this weekend!

I’m not trying to get all religious here, but this is what came up in my bible app the first day I finished volunteering. Crazy, huh?

Luckily we went through phases of being busy and not having anything to do, so I had a chance to read some of my book for one of my classes.

I forgot to post this, but I left an operation beautiful note last week! I’ve always wanted to do that, and Lindsay’s instagram challenge had it listed on one of the days. Love it.

Since James Wilson’s program has three rest days per week, I set them for Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. It felt good to rest, and I know my body thanked me for it.

I did get some yoga in to stretch out. I haven’t done yoga in FOREVER and I really miss it. I need to do it more often.

I also decorated for Halloween! My roommate and I saw this DIY glittered pumpkin on pinterest (of course) so we got crafty and did it. So easy and fun!

I had overnight oats for the first time in forever yesterday morning. I used a bit more yogurt than usual and it was super creamy. I was out of fruit, so I topped it with some leftover sweet potato and cinnamon. Seriously, so good.

Oh, and last but not least… The Gators beat LSU! Enough said ;)

 

Did you do anything fun this weekend?

Have you ever done a DIY project? Which one?

    LOVE that verse in Galatians :) Don’t you just flip when verses just randomly pop up and pertain to your exact situation in life?! So cool :)
    And those glittery pumpkins are SO AWESOME. Teach me your crafting ways! :D

  9. I love those pumpkins! So much easier that all the gutting and carving.

    I made wine glasses with the chalkboard paint bottoms from Pinterest. They turned out really well… but I haven’t made anything since!

  10. I love adding random bits of squash or pumpkin to things that don’t normal have it in it. So good! Especially with a little maple syrup or brown sugar. Yum!

    and your oatmeal looks really good- when i tried sweet potatoes the first time i didn’t like them (and i’ve only ever had them 1 time since then!) but maybe i’m just preparing them wrong? when i’m home for my long break over christmas i’m planning on experimenting with them a little more!
