Something About That

life, lately – first edition

“A Sunday well spent brings a week of content.”

Sunday is my day to get stuff done. Getting stuff done makes me happy.

Yesterday, I ran my weekly errands. I went to the grocery store, the drug store, filled my tank up with gas, painted my nails, made granola and got a workout in. I realize that none of these things are “exciting” by any stretch of the imagination, but that’s okay. It’s these simple things that help me prepare for another busy week ahead.

It was too cold this weekend to take outfit photos, but I still felt inspired pull out my camera and take a few photos.

Here’s some snap shots of my life, from Sunday February 1st 2015.

    Great photos! I like the snapshot into your life. I try to get things done on Saturday so I can make it to church and relax on Sundays. Didn’t happen this weekend though.. I agree, it’s nice to feel productive.

      Thanks Amy Ann! I’ve been having a lot of fun experimenting with my camera.

      Some weekends, the whole “relaxation” thing just doesn’t happen…but it will be even better when it does!

    I love being productive and impressed you got a lot done. For some reason, Sundays tend to go by REALLY fast for me and I get 2 things done. I really like the idea that you took photos of things that inspired you (darn, winter!). I was planning to take outfit photos and there was a huge snow storm. Thought I could brave it, and it ended miserably! Stay warm chica!

      Sundays go by too fast, so I try to cram in what I can.

      Seriously…the snow has been brutal the last couple of days, so there was no way I was going outside for any longer than I needed to! Hope it’s cleared up in your neck of the woods by now <3

      Spring is far away…but I like to think looking at pretty spring-like images can help make it seem closer!

      Thank you so much Karen. I just don’t really ready to start the week until I’ve done all of my little things…

    • Jackie says

      That’s so kind of you to say, Alecz. I’m still working on my photography, and while I’ve come a LONG way from where I was, I still have a lot to learn. Honestly, a great resource is Pinterest! There’s so many great (and easy) tutorials out there 🙂

    • Jackie says

      I’m usually too exhausted to do much of anything on a Saturday. Whatever works 🙂

      I’ll definitely check out that giveaway you’re hosting too.

    Gorgeous photos! looks like a beautiful Sunday. Running errands isn’t the most fun, but I always feel accomplished once everything is done. It’s just nice knowing you’ve taken care of what NEEDS to be done. Our Sunday was spent recovering from Saturday and while I did make it to the grocery store there was nothing else productive about the day.

      I love that feeling of accomplishment that I get after running errands, so I usually don’t mind!

      Well… my Saturday was spent recovering from Friday, so I had no excuse but to get things done.

    • Jackie says

      My photos must reflect the “zen” vibe I was striving for. Sundays were a great day to catch up on homework when I was in school 🙂

    Sunday was a hectic day for me, too! Mostly cleaned and ran some errands! I’m so glad the office was closed today and I could relax and plan out my week. It’s always good to have those days!

    Those flowers are lovely! Your Sunday sure looked pretty, your photos are always so nice. I know what you mean about being productive, I’m always so much happier after I’ve done a bunch of things on my list 🙂

    Depending on what we have going on, my sunday’s vary quite a bit. This weekend was rather slow, with being sick and the game day snow storm, everything happened just at home was lazy,….

  29. Kendra says

    You’re Sunday looks a lot more vibrant than mine, haha.

    Such a great post, I really love your style 🙂

    Hope you can check out mine sometime!

    There is something enjoyable about a productive day, isn’t there?

    Sunday is typically a rest day in our household, although I do a little food prep for the week ahead. Seen as I’m home most of the day – being a stay at home mum – I get things gradually done throughout the week so the weekends can be spent more as family time.

    Beautiful pictures!
    🙂

    • Jackie says

      I totally agree!

      If I was a mom, I’d use the weekends differently than I do now. Family time would definitely be on the agenda 🙂

    aw this is lovely. the photos really tell a story there.
    I actually like the concept of summing up a Sunday like this. I don’t typically do TOO much but after thinking about it, it’s my day of prep for the work week ahead. SO a lot does get done! haha
    xo,

      Thank you so much!! I don’t feel like any of these things are particularly exciting on their own, but I always feel so good to accomplish a lot of little things.

    • Jackie says

      Thank you!! That means a lot, I’ve really been working to improve my photography skills.

      I’ve seen that quote on Pinterest and it’s just sort of stuck with me.

    What a cool quote, I’ve never heard that before. Looks like a lovely Sunday. I love your blog, you have such great style. I think I need me some of those sunglasses in your pics, they look so good on you!
