The hubs and I will be childless this weekend.
The son is away in college, and the daughter is going on a school trip.
This is a pretty rare event, for us to be free of childcare responsibilities for an entire weekend. And Monday, too, actually.
What should we do? Work on the various little projects around the house? Weed the yards? Go out on a date? Sleep for the entire weekend?
The possibilities are endless, hmm…
Or…I can always just hang out with you! I think that’s what I’ll do!

Features
Spring Greens Quiche from Colleen @ Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck
“Oh, how I adore quiche! And this is the prettiest quiche! Definitely perfect for a Spring brunch.” — Angie
Cherry Crumble Traybake from Ginger @ Ginger and Bread
“This is the perfect cake to enjoy on a lazy Sunday afternoon, full of tangy fruit, with a crunchy crumbly melt-in-your-mouth buttery topping” — Monika
Prosecco Pineapple Sorbet Floats from Kitty @ Vintage Kitty
“Sounds like a great and relaxing sorbet float for the after dinner cocktail crowd (or a brunch), with that pineapple providing both a sweet and a sour component. Beautiful photo, too.” — Diann
Moist Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Frosting from Lily @ Little Sweet Baker
“Vanilla fans will enjoy these gorgeous all vanilla cupcakes which are soft and, unlike other vanilla cupcake recipes, moist, never dry, as they are made with both milk and Greek yogurt.” — Monika

April 7, 2017 at 8:10 amWell, I hope you got that starter started, Angie, for I’ve brought along a breadfest of the Easter variety that makes you forget Lent in an instant! Happy Fiesta Friday and have a wonderfully grown-up weekend!
Angie says
April 7, 2017 at 8:21 amI saw! And I like! Maybe that’s what I’ll do this weekend. Babysitting the starter. Harder than caring for kids, no doubt ? Thanks for cohosting!
Ginger says
April 7, 2017 at 8:24 amAnd you can relax! Read a book, undisturbed, without having to hide in the bathroom! Bliss!
Angie says
April 7, 2017 at 8:38 amLol! It didn’t work with my kids btw. They used to follow me to the bathroom.
Ginger says
April 7, 2017 at 8:39 amHave you read Kolymski Heights? I absolutely loved it. Or The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox, if you’re not into thrillers? So many books! So little time…
Angie says
April 7, 2017 at 8:49 amNo, haven’t read either. Last book I read was Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. Only so I could keep up with the daughter, you know ? I was one of those crazy people camping outside the bookstore before a new Harry Potter book was released!
Ginger says
April 7, 2017 at 8:55 amWell, if you’re ever planning on visiting Harry Potter World we’re living just around the corner from there and could mwet you in Diagon Alley for a butterbeer 😉
Angie says
April 7, 2017 at 9:06 amSounds like a plan ?
Angie says
April 7, 2017 at 9:07 amI’ll make sure I’ll bring my wand!
Ginger says
April 7, 2017 at 8:27 amOh, and thank you for the feature! 🙂
Colleen says
April 7, 2017 at 8:44 amWhat a surprise to be featured this week! Thanks Angie…and now I want this quiche again!!!
Angie says
April 7, 2017 at 8:52 amI really love that quiche! I can’t wait to give it a try!
Teagan Geneviene says
April 7, 2017 at 9:06 amEnjoy your free weekend. TGIF!
Angie says
April 7, 2017 at 9:09 amThanks, Teagan! But first I need to get to work. Why do we have to work on Fridays? ?
Lily says
April 7, 2017 at 9:14 amI would definitely take a nap, enjoy a special meal (something that your kids wouldn’t like) and relax, relax, relax, since you are free from mom duties! Enjoy your weekend and thanks for the feature:)
Angie says
April 7, 2017 at 10:03 amGreat suggestions, Lily! I think I’ll do just that ? Your pretty cupcakes are perfect for Easter! ?
Megala says
April 7, 2017 at 9:55 amYour post is a feast for our eyes ! It is also somewhat similar to mom duties!!
Angie says
April 7, 2017 at 10:04 amYou can say that again. Manning Fiesta Friday is a little bit like a mom duty, lol. Nah, it’s much more fun actually. Thanks for stopping by!
Elaine @ foodbod says
April 7, 2017 at 10:16 amYou lucky guys! I just love when we get that kind of time together ? I’d say, don’t do anything practical, just hang and enjoy each other’s company ❤
Angie says
April 7, 2017 at 8:14 pmThat’s such a great idea! Maybe a picnic, with Skye? All I need is some bread and cheese, maybe saucisson for the husband. Sounds like a plan! ? Thanks, Elaine!
Elaine @ foodbod says
April 8, 2017 at 1:30 amLovely, enjoy it xx
Jhuls says
April 7, 2017 at 10:49 amYay! Whatever you are planning to do, enjoy! I suggest you ask the hubs to prepare breakfast for you? Happy FF, Angie! Have a fantastic weekend!
Angie says
April 7, 2017 at 8:08 pmWhat?! You want me to get food poisoning? Did I tell you he set off the smoke detector trying to make scrambled egg? He’s helpless in the kitchen! Thanks for the lovely thought, though ?
Jhuls says
April 7, 2017 at 11:01 pmOh, really? I guess making scrambled eggs are not as easy as everyone thought???
Iwanttobeacook says
April 7, 2017 at 12:14 pmEnjoy your weekend Angie! I am sure it will be great 😉
Angie says
April 7, 2017 at 8:04 pmThanks so much! Same to you, happy weekend! ?
Iwanttobeacook says
April 10, 2017 at 3:13 amThank you Angie. It was 😉
vintagekittycom says
April 7, 2017 at 12:38 pmThank you! Thank you! It’s been super busy so I’ve got some blog hopping to catch up on! Looks like I missed some great stuff!
Angie says
April 7, 2017 at 8:03 pmSame here, busy as always, but there’s a change of pace finally this weekend. Yay! Maybe a little celebration is in order. Your pineapple prosecco may be involved ?
petra08 says
April 7, 2017 at 4:21 pmSounds like a good weekend! I hope you will enjoy it! Thank you for hosting us all again, love being a part of it! 🙂 Happy weekend and Fiesta Friday!
Angie says
April 7, 2017 at 7:40 pmWell, since you love being a part, how about cohosting the Fiesta next week? I’m out of cohosts again! Don’t let me twist your arm, though. You say when, ok? ?
Ann GrubbsnCritters says
April 7, 2017 at 4:58 pmSleeping for a week is a very good choice! ??? Oh dear…no kids…what WILL you do?! ??
Angie says
April 7, 2017 at 7:37 pmI’m thinking along the same lines, but not a week, good grief! It’s just a weekend, lol. You’re too funny, Ann ??
Ann GrubbsnCritters says
April 8, 2017 at 3:47 pmLOL. 😀
Laura @ Feast Wisely says
April 8, 2017 at 7:11 pmI hope you’re enjoying your child free weekend Angie – what a treat prior to the busyness of Easter!
Angie says
April 9, 2017 at 8:17 amThanks, Laura! Maybe the husband and I will have a picnic today. Yesterday was a little cold and windy.
