On Friday from 11:00, I took some much needed me-time, and believe me, it was well worth it. In fact, it has really done wonders for my soul. Although I am now clearly a bit behind on work, I believe the optimism of the day will have a positive influence on my productivity. At 11:00 I went to my hairdresser for a cut, colour, highlights and blow wave. I really felt like a million dollars and Hunter really loved the look. After that I had a great lunch of brie, fig, strawberry and rocket salad at Isabella's with a book and my trusty phone for company. I ate, read, wrote a bit. I recharged the soul and the body by having some red velvet cake and coffee just before leaving at about 3:30. It was bliss. (For a photo post of the visit , have a look at Captured by Cat)
On Saturday morning we attended the family fun day at the Princess' school - all 3 the kids had at least 3 glides on the water slide, with the Princess going again and again and again.
Yesterday our planned zoo trip was once again postponed by less than ideal weather and a spot of rain, so we took the brood to Spur after which we had a blissful almost two hour nap - and by that I mean the whole family. Amazing I tell you! After that I went to gym and the rest of the family for a walk. It turned out that we really needed that nap with the Princess getting sick in the night with a very slight fever and some puking.Till not 100% tonight - but let's hope for the best.
So how was your weekend?
Your me day sounds so very awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures! Girls in dress up are just the best! I think it is fabulous you spent some time doing something for yourself. You deserve it! You've been working way too hard!
ReplyDeletea 2 hour nap for the whole family!!!?? Heaven!!! Sometimes we really need to heed our own advice and take the time to rest and recharge!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you took the time to yourself Friday. We all need that time and we all know its hard to come by!
It must be getting closer to summer for you - swim suits and water slides!? We're mid/late fall here now...
What a perfect day on Friday and an awesoem weekend - sounds like pure bliss.
ReplyDeleteThat Friday me-time sounds divine!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos!
Sounds like a fantastic day! Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteSO glad you had an incredible day off - just what the doc ordered!
ReplyDeleteLove the pics of the girls - you can just see how much fun they're having. xx
Your weekends are always so ful of fun. It sounds wonderful
ReplyDeleteThat "ME" time is so important. Isabellas is lovely, but heck they're overpriced! Try Leonardo's next door, their muffins are DEVINE and reasonably priced. The service is also way better. (Just my opinion ;) )
ReplyDelete@Sharon - you mean Leopolds? An old fav, but I love Isabella's food - more adventurous.
ReplyDeleteWow! You're weekend sounds amazing. I so want to go to the zoo but it's so warm outside that I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteThat me time is so very vital!!!
ReplyDeleteIt should be done at least one a month :)
The weekend does sound lovely - especially the nap :O)
Wow Isabellas is stunning...those chandeliers and bird cages. Beautiful. It is wonderful seeing happy faces of children having a good time.
