Cheers to the freakin' weekend is right. Happy Friday, ya'll. Since bringing the little monkey into the world, I have a new found appreciation for the weekends- most of which have been filled with a few extra hours of sleep, visits from friends + family, a little wine, lots of laughs + and the occasional trip to the nail salon while my husband/superdad watches the little. 

This weekend is a special one though, as I shine off my soul-cycling shoes and finally get to RIDE THAT BIKE! After almost ten months of no working out {doctor's orders}, I have the green light to get my soul on.  I anticipate a long lasting shit-eating grin, lots of happy tears, and {of course} muscles + limbs that hurt oh-so-good.

Here are a few other things I look forward to from weekends past...

Weekend Essentials | Fresh cut hydrangeas from our garden + bright summer citrus

Longing for oysters after a 40 week break

To the Beach | Summer is for salty air + sandy toes

Coffee in Bed | Forget diamonds, the way to my heart is Nespresso pods

Sleepy Bulldog | Love lazy days with this love bug

These Two | There's nothing I love more than to see my husband so in love with our little one
