My celebrations:

**Shopped at outlet mall to get my kiddos their school clothes/shoes. The deals were amazing! My favorite savings... three of our sons are runners so we purchased running shoes that were originally $120 each, We paid $22.75. 

** In the evening we went swimming and played this game called spyfall or something rather. All in all, it was a fun weekend!

**I pulled out a writing project from last year that I'd tucked away and began editing again. It feels so good to be back at it!
