4 day weekend! (day one)

I stayed a bit longer in my parent's town after my stay over. I just love being there, it's always sunny and cool (they're on the water). I always feel like there's so many chores and projects to to when I'm home, so I love the times when I just get to relax.

I slept in (for me!) till 7:45am and it felt good! I made myself breakfast in bed and ate it while checking out blogs.


After dropping my mom off at work I headed to the gym for a much needed hour and a half workout. Then I got to work on a picnic lunch to bring to my mom at work.

Picnic-wear!


The picnic site was a table set up behind my mom's work. The red checkered blanked fit perfectly!



On the menu was a quinoa salad with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers from my parents' garden with an orange balsamic dressing. On the side was a whole grain bun and boiled eggs. Of course there was the mandatory juice in a jar- labeled of course!


After the picnic I hit up my favourite Cobourg stores. I found an amazing dress at Twice as Nice on King Street and some awesome picnic plates/glasses at Beyond the Blue Box. I also found a cheese plate with a glass dome that fits on my baby cake plate!
