Here are some FIGs that surfaced this weekend:

New Jeans

Suzanne inspired a trip to Macy’s and three pairs of jeans for me. I only own two pairs: Joe’s (recent, last year, bootcut) and Free people (very old, before the kids). All three pairs that I purchased are either straight leg or skinny. No barrel jeans for me, I could not wrap my head around them. How do you even style them?.. Fashion show, from left to right: Levi’s skinny, Levi’s straight leg, Guess skinny.

A clean house

I cleaned the whole house. Dusted with wet rag and cleaner, vacuumed, and wet mopped. I am in awe of myself since lately I have been feeling very unmotivated. Go me. I used Murphy’s soap, and the house smelled divine afterwards, windows were open, fresh air coming in. Maybe it’s the warm weather, maybe it’s the spring. Not sure but I’m loving my new cleaning mojo. Let’s hope it continues.

A good bye

This past Saturday was my last yoga class at the studio. Very bitter-sweet. Our last Namaste, our last Ohm. I got emotional at the end since the studio was my yoga community since June of 2024. I signed up for Peloton (two months free) for yoga, strength, and maybe even meditation (although I have been loyal to Insight Timer for that). I have to remember that this is a good bye to the studio but not to yoga itself. It’s up to me to find time to practice.

Little things

The kids had gymnastics, skates, and piano. They also had ice cream, and lots of playing outside. It was windy but almost 70F.

Friendly’s after skating

The landscaper and his firm did our lawn and yard spring clean-up. The yard looks so much better now. Clean and fresh. On the street we have a huge pile of debris that was removed from the lawn: dead leaves, branches, and who knows what else.

All of this is from our yard

We also made a leprechaun trap with gold coins to lure him in…

Our leprechaun 🍀 trap

This coming week… Nothing out of the ordinary. Work, school, aftercare, jiu jitsu, yoga. I do walk to go for a nice walk after work one of the days. Let’s hope I find the time and motivation to do it.

How is your week looking?

    Those jeans look great! I know the wide leg and barrel jeans are so in style right now, but that is not a look for me. Or for most! I think they can only be styled with a crop top or perhaps a tight bodysuit, and the idea of me showcasing my midriff…well, no.

    I actually really love cleaning house like you did! It’s such a good feeling to have a fresh clean house.

      Haha, same! I don’t even own a crop top and/or a body suit… But whoever can pull that off at 40- good for them. Not me lol

    I think it’s the coming of Spring… I always putter around and clean a bit extra as the days get brighter too…

    Have a wonderful week with your new jeans and new exercise regimen!

    Great jeans! It looks like you had a really good weekend. I love when I get the ‘cleaning bug’ as I call it. I love it even more when someone else gets the cleaning bug, so I get the clean house without the work! HA!

    Yay for new jeans! I’m glad you had a successful outing at the mall and I love the styles you chose. I am a skinny jeans 4 LIFE girly. I just like the fit so much better!

    I hope you enjoy using Peloton for yoga! You’ll have to let us know how that journey goes for you.
