Short weeks are my favorite! Maybe it goes all the way back to those extra Mondays that I got to stay home from school as a kid, but four day weeks are so much more fun and refreshing that the normal, longer version. This week we got one beautiful 60 degree day after a string of freezing polar vortex chillers and took advantage of it by laying in bed all morning, running a few quick errands and then sneaking out to the sweetest neighborhood for a stroll (sans winter coats) and lattes + slices of cake. There's just something about a little fresh air that thaws the heart out a bit... not to mention what some chocolate cake does for a two year old!

This weekend passed in a bit of a blur! With a trip to the airport for the three of us and some settling in for my mom and sister I had zero time to even think about outfit planning. I'll let you in on a little secret: I've never been a big fan of jeans. They've always been so uncomfortable and such a hassle to wear but this pair of leggings has changed it all for me! I wore this pair from church, to lunch, to the airport and back this weekend with not the slightest ache for my beloved sweats... and THAT'S saying something. With Monday finally here and the girls staying on until Friday, let's hope that there's plenty of family fun and a small semblance of routine in store for my week!

No nonsense has been kind enough to offer one of you a pair of comfy corduroy leggings! Just enter the giveaway widget below for your chance to win.
