Happy Monday Morning everyone 🙂
Just like that — I’m back about ready to start another work week. Thankfully, less than two weeks now and Zach and I will be in blissful relaxation mode in Austria :). Hello honeymoon!
Last Night
I made it back to Denver right after noon Sunday and was able to make it to our friends for a game watch in the middle of the first quarter. Go Bronco’s! The game watch was a small group of friends with a whole lot of food. Definitely just my style.
Thanks to our crazy schedules, Zach and I were proud just to make it trough the Bronco’s game. Within a few minutes of the game ending, we were on our way home to spend the rest of the evening laying down on the couch.
My wonderful husband spent a good chunk of his weekend deep cleaning the apartment so that I would come home to a relaxing space to me when I got home after the crazy week. I don’t know about you all — but I do NOT do well with clutter. Especially after traveling. My instinct is clean clean clean before I actually sit down and take a deep breath.
Because we ate so much during our game watch, last night was one of those days that I had to force myself to eat dinner (hardly ever happens). I knew I needed something fresh and healthy. On the menu: kale salad
The salad included:
- massaged kale (lemon and oil)
- frozen blueberries (don’t judge it was actually my favorite part)
- banana peppers
- Parmesan cheese
- Sunflower seeds for crunch
The flavors all worked really well together. It was very different, but I would do it again no question.
We ended the evening switching back and forth between Bridesmaids and Twister . . . because we wanted to prove just how cool we really are, you know.
Question of the Morning: Do you unpack right away when you get home? Do you struggle with clutter?

Yes and yes!!
I unpack immediately when I get home. Like walk in the door, pet the dogs, put away my crap. I don’t know why, it just happens.
If you ask me that’s totally normal!
I am just like you…. I HATE coming home to clutter after a vacation. It seriously stresses me out so before I leave I always make sure that everything is put away and organized. It’s peaceful to your mind knowing you’re coming home to a tidy home – one last thing to worry about 🙂
Couldn’t agree more. And hello, clean sheets? That’s the BEST!
Time really does fly (especially on the weekends!) Also, I’m so jealous of your honeymoon to Austria. You two are going to have such a wonderful time!
Thanks! We can’t wait!
I can’t wait to hear about Austria! I’ll be there sometime later this year, and will look forward to recommendations! And yes, I always clean the sheets the day before traveling so there are nice clean sheets when I get home.
Ahhh now I’m excited for your trip to Austria too!
I have to unpack immediately. It is like I walk in the door and turn into an unpacking and cleaning freak. It bugs my husband a bit. I just want life back to normal.
You and me both! Thankfully Zach normally understands.
i used to not really care about clutter when I was younger. Nowadays it’s the opposite! I’m like you, I have to have everything put away and neat before I can take a breath. It just makes me feel more relaxed when there’s nothing to clean.
Exactly!
Food. Football. Friends. Does it get better?? — I always unpack right away. Everything isn’t always put away asap, but I like to get laundry going once I get home!
Laundry is always a good start! And no, it doesn’t get any better 🙂
Welcome home! So cute Zach had everything ready and clean for you! I hate coming back to clutter.
You and me both! It’s the worst
If I don’t unpack ASAP I end up putting it off for days and days and my room ends up trashed
You know what I think that’s absolutely the problem! If I don’t get it done right away it’s VERY easy for me to keep making excuses to NOT do it.
Agreed! I’m like eh, don’t have time now…maybe later
I need my house to be clean before I can do anything. I am really crazy about cleaning and like for everything to be in a place and to be clean! The OCD in me :). That salad actually sounds really good and might have to try it out!
At least we’re not alone in our OCD 🙂
Both of those movies are great. Haven’t seen Twister in ages! I always unpack right away after a trip because I assume that, if I don’t, I just won’t bother at all.
Oh boy, we’ve got a fun Super Bowl coming up. We’ll be rooting for opposite teams in February! My husband named it the Weed Bowl since it’s Seattle vs. Denver. lol
LOL That’s hysterical and SO true! You know what’s awful, Zach and I leave for our honeymoon on the 1st! So we’ll just be getting to Europe when the games on! Yikes!
Oh no! Well, at least you’ll be having the time of your life. The Super Bowl doesn’t hold a candle to what you’ll be doing! Plus you’ll probably hear all about it from friends and family.
I hate packing and unpacking so I normally just unpack right when I get home to get it over with! Most of the time I can deal with a little bit of clutter but I get into those moods where it drives me crazy and I have to pick everything up!
Oh man, I’m glad your team won but so did mine so I guess we’ll have to wait for the big game lol happy monday!
Just saw this comment — I gotta say Go Broncos, but we will have to wait and see for the big bowl 😉
