Monday Morning Wrap Up

September 14, 2026 by Courtney Leave a Comment

Good morning. I hope you had a lovely weekend. We are jumping back into the laundry room project which feels great. We decided to have the crown molding professionally installed which is happening today. After it is painted, we can install the wallpaper. More on that soon. Beginning this week with a very full heart after a lovely weekend away.

GIRLS’ LAKE TRIP

This past weekend five of us drove out to Tims’ Ford Lake for a couple of nights away. In lieu of birthday gifts this year, we decided to gift ourselves a weekend away. It was the best decision!

SWEETEST GIFT

Upon arrival, one of our friends gifted us these darling bags filled with fun products, eye patches, and cozy socks. So very thoughtful. And a really sweet idea if you are doing any type of trip soon. The words on this bag perfectly sum up the weekend. I don’t think I have laughed or cried that hard in some time. The friendships are such a treasure and spending quality time together was so fun.

TEAM EFFORT

It was a team effort and we brought everything we needed to make breakfast, charcuterie, dessert and drinks. We played cards, read books, learned new dice games, watched football and relaxed by the lake. Time well spent.

CHARMING SPOT

speakeasy

Tims’ Ford Lake is less than 2 hours away and Filo is a great spot downtown. Our friend happened to know the chef so it was so much fun getting a tour of the restaurant and learning more about it. This is the brand new speakeasy in the restaurant.

PRETTY SUNSET

We made it down to the dock just in time to catch the tail end of the sunset. We put this trip on the calendar far in advance and we were so proud of ourselves for actually making it happen. If a girls’ trip has been something on your heart to do, I highly recommend just booking it. It doesn’t need to be fancy. In fact, just relaxing and spending time together was such a gift that we all needed.

SIDELINED THIS MORNING

back pain

And then things took a turn. I was getting ready for bible study this morning when I sneezed. Yep, that’s all it took. One huge sneeze and my back froze up. Good times. So I am working from my bed this morning. Hoping some heat and downtime cause things to calm down. Growing older is so much fun.

BOW SWEATSHIRT

This bow sweatshirt was last week’s fan favorite. It really is so cute. It reminds me of something from Anthropologie. I am in the small but would suggest sizing up one.

COZY PAJAMAS

I took this cozy pajama set to the lake. They are so soft and comfortable. The top and bottoms are sold separately. I am wearing a small in both. The prices are fantastic.

In case you missed it, I shared a Loft try on this week. So many really cute things for fall. I also shared fall outfit ideas here. Wishing you a really great start to the week. Thank you for stopping in.
