Hello my friends. I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was…well…clunky. Things just didn’t go smoothly, pretty much all the way around. Ah well, that’s just how it goes sometimes. Right? So I hope you had a fabulous weekend that was smooth sailing. 🙂 Here’s my update.
Play List:
- Boot camp. Okay – that went great.
- Basketball. Check.
- Relax! Check (sort of.)
- Spend some time pinning! A big check here. I had quite a bit of time in the car this weekend driving to and from basketball games…so I was pinning on the go. I think that was probably the highlight of the weekend.
To Finish:
- Make a Target run. Check. But one of the main things I needed to pick up was the Fels-Naptha for my laundry detergent. But Target doesn’t seem to carry this. So, on Sunday I went to Walmart (where I got it before) and they were totally out! Grr…so because of this , no check on this next task.
- Pinterest to-do: Make more laundry detergent. (Nope.)
- Start and finish a load or two of laundry. Check! Lots of basketball uniform washing. 😉
- Plan weekly meals. This didn’t happen. Today…it must…or some people I know will be going hungry this week.
- Wash and vacuum car. This was an add on. I did it yesterday after spending lots of hours in the car this weekend…it needed it badly. Boy how I love a clean car after a long, grimy winter. 😉
How did your weekend go? Hope it was great! See you back here on Friday for another round of Finish It Friday!
I came to your blog via Jen at I Heart Organizing. You’re a new favorite!
If you haven’t done your laundry soap yet, may I suggest using Zote instead of Fels Naptha. I found the Zote at Big Lots. It has a wonderful citrus smell. The Fels Naptha was a bit overpowering scent-wise to me.
I think that I’ve read that the Fels Naptha is better for tough stains, so if your family has a lot of that kind of clothes wear and tear (like sports uniforms!), maybe it would be the better choice.
I just love the Zote because I like the scent better (and it’s pink!).

I use Fels-Naptha to wash off with in case of poison ivy contact and also on fabric stains. I’ve found it at grocery stores in addition to Walmart.
Sorry your weekend didn’t go quite as planned, Aby. That happens to me quite often 🙁 I rarely get everything done that’s on my list, and this weekend was no exception but it was still a very good weekend.
