Everyone needs a little Me Time

Well my goals for this week will have to carry over into next week. I lost Tuesday, I was sick as a dog and spent the day in bed. Not sure if it was the Green Machine smoothie or the slightly pink chicken for dinner Monday night. Either way, my day in bed threw off my week. But I am not fretting about it - not one bit. This is life! 


This weekend I am heading off to my friends cottage for a girls weekend! There is nothing like a weekend with your girlfriends. We all take care of each other, eat well, laugh a lot and even get in some exercise. Every year we plan to do Pilate's outside  and just don't get to it, too busy relaxing.  Hopefully this year we will be able to fit it in. 


That is one thing I have come to appreciate, as a parent & spouse, we need to make time for ourselves. I used to feel guilty going away on my own and hurt when Troy wanted to hang out with the guys, not anymore.  When I take time for me, I feel better and that makes me a better mom/wife. I love my family - they don't stress me out and I enjoy being with them. My husband is my partner and shares the load around the house. Kayla is like another set of adult hands and Isabel is hilarious, we call her our little stress reliever. The appeal of my girls get-a-way is not to escape my home life, rather recharge my batteries!


Hope you all find a little "Me Time" this weekend!
