No matter what mood I'm in, I can always go for a: long soak in a bubble bath......bliss!!!
My favorite go-to outfit would have to be: Jeans and a long sleeved black T. Often with a scarf. I have a huge collection of scarves for al seasons :) Today I'm wearing jeans and a long sleeved GREY T :)
A good source of inspiration is: the All Things Thrifty blog....
I am so glad my parents taught me: not to use credit.
A song I like to dance to is: Dynamite by Taio Cruz
I wish everyone knew about: how damaging school is to the average child.
The best thing in my makeup bag is: I don't have a make up bag. I occasionally wear mascara....that's about it. I do wear perfume every day though.
My dream spring break vacation spot is: Canmore.....my older kids are probably fed up with it, but I will never get bored with going there. Susannah and I are planning a trip alone just to hike. She really enjoys it.
This may be a surprise, but I am passionate about: snowflakes - and also introducing the joy of art back in to peoples lives after school art lessons have destroyed it.
A favorite book that changed me for the better: Sara Ban Breathnach - Simple Abundance - a Daybook of Comfort and Joy
One of my pet peeves is: At my Doctors surgery, if you are 5 minutes late, they cancel your appointment, but EVERY time I go now they make me wait at LEAST an hour PAST my appointment time to see my Doctor!! And you can't complain as that is seen as harassment of the reception staff!
My favorite daily ritual would have to be: Snuggling with Sam in the mornings. He sleeps in his own bed but wanders in to mine in the early hours...so I wake up with him snuggled up to me each morning like a hot water bottle....when he wakes up he throws his little arm around me and tells me he loves me...all sleepy :)
I am trying to be better at: dealing with my Ex......for months I have been nothing but nice and done my best to put all disagreements to one side - especially in front of the children. But yesterday.....omg yesterday he was SOOOOOO arrogant and pigheaded. He always has been an arrogant man, but I had asked him not to come into the house and he refused to do that and then continued in this arrogant pigheaded way the whole time he was in my home :( I'm so disappointed in myself that I lost it....and ended up forcing him out physically :( That is NOT what I wanted my children to have to witness :( I should have done better. But I put up with 10 years of his arrogance and pigheadedness and didn't even realise it until after he left....and sometimes it is overwhelming. I am not proud of my behaviour yesterday though.
The most recent rad thing I found online was: Jen Lemen's latest post - which feels as though it was written just for me. I posted it to my FB page...and sorry - I'm back in to blogging but am sooo lazy I'm not posting links yet am I??
I can't live without: little ways to relax....my journaling, tanning and saunas, cuddles with the kids, FB time, bubble baths, crafting time, coffee with friends.....I NEED that little break from reality....
